If Tinsley can believe that the damned dirty hippies who didn't have jobs in the late '60s remained out of work for the last 40 years, it's only fair for his impression of Dennis Hopper to be based entirely on "Easy Rider."

Like Tom Tomorrow says, next they'll expect us to believe the earth isn't flat.

Tinsley takes on as easy a target as Joe Biden, and THIS is what he comes up with?

It's all about open-mindedness!

Tinsley can't even be bothered to draw the duck's body anymore?

I have no idea why Tinsley can't just print the URLs of sites he wants us to visit.

At any rate, I read Thomas Sowell's columns which Tinsley says "contain the names and work of respected climate scientists who are open-minded about whether 'global warming' is man-made."

Part 1 offers these names:

1. Richard S. Lindzen
2. S. Fred Singer
3. Dennis Avery
4. Patrick J. Michaels

Part 2 defends the "open minded" scientists who were paid by American Enterprise Institute to question global warming but doesn't actually name any of them.

Part 3 offers these names:

1. S. Fred Singer (again)
2. Richard S. Lindzen (again)
3. Patrick J. Michaels (again)
4. David R. Legates
5. Duncan Wingham
6. Nigel Weiss

Sowell includes some brief quotes from some of these people and mentions the titles of their books. Apparently that's what Tinsley is referring to when he says the columns include their "work."

I'm not sure if he even knows at this point whether he's arguing against the existence of global warming or only its cause.

Fortunately, the sixth grade class at Trail Ridge Middle School has settled the matter once and for all.

This is all just sublimation. Tinsley is, in fact, desperately worried about losing his driver's license because of his DUI problems. This is manifesting itself in the strips as a strange obsession with attacking the universally recognized problem of global warming. Why? Most conservatives, afflicted with the "government wants to take my toys away" phobia (cross reference: NRA), see the "global warming conspiracy" as a cover under which the government (or even better, the UN) will attempt to take away their Hummers. (Cross reference: attacks on Gore's airplane usage.)

Tinsley has conflated this with his personal fear of government taking away his 1992 Hyundai, and you have a pathological need to deny global warming.

Sad, really.

You might think that two recent alcohol-related arrests would make Tinsley shy away from making fun of rehab. But that would require a little self-awareness.
