I wrote this last Saturday...

...But naturally it took me a week to find internet. And the keyboard I am using is AWFUL so bear with me...

So I am sitting in a hotel room in Pokhara-we left Myagdi this morning-and I am watching "The Daily Show: Global Edition" on CNN. Paul Rudd is on promoting Role Models which I am so sad I don't get to see... he is talking about Wet Hot American Summer, which I LOVE (" You taste like burger, I don't like you anymore") I am obviously starved for comedy considering I spent yesterday laughing at Rambo skinning a bear in First Blood.
During the commercial break there was a quick segment where they interviewed an Indian scientist about gobal warming. He was saying, "there is definite proof that global warming exists and the climate is changing quickly and if we don't do something quickly there will be HUGE consequences." My reaction to this caught me quite off guard. You see, the first thing I thought was, "just because we are the first generation of humans to scientifically prove that the climate is changing doesn't mean we have a right to stop it and avoid extinction." I had no idea I was such a fatalist. But I mean, suppose cavemen had the technology to foresee the ice age, would they have been able to do anything about it? What if global warming was the cause of Noah's flood? Who is this Indian dude to question the Almighty about wiping us sinners out?

One last thought... Talk Asia interviewed Daniel Carter of the All Blacks after the Daily Show. Holy hotness. I would let him spin kick a ball between my posts any day.
Totally inapropriate? Maybe. But do yourself a favor an google his Jockey ad. You'll see why my "R" rated innuendo is totally justified.
