And lo, as the people shivered and cursed the cold that rode down from the distant "Arctic" on

winds spawned by the One named "Vortex", they wailed and stomped their feet as they blew on their chafed hands and demanded "Who is to blame for this frigid curse that bursts our pipes and leaves us in cold darkness? Tell us, we pray, that we might smite them and cast them into the pit of burning irrationality!

Was it the radical socialists?

The deep state snowflakes?

Soros-funded operatives?

Who hast so offended the Powers That Be that they have sent such cold to chap our woofies?"

"DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THAT WHICH YE KNOW DAMN WELL!" thundered a Great Voice---(possibly Morgan Freeman)---"Verily, THOU hast brought this frosty curse down upon thine own heads! Knowing full well that it was a great wrong which would bring the stench of vile corruption to the nostrils of all who are thoughtful, thou cast thy lot with the likes of Cruz and Cornyn and Abbot and Paxton and that Prince of Darkness wannabe---TRUMP!

Do not ask for whom the cold wind blows; IT BLOWS FOR THEE!

THOU ARE MIGHTILY SCREWN!"

Why do I have to do an enforced act of national patriotism when all I want to do is watch a ballgame?

So they joke about how cold it was last week and blame it on the "Polish Vortex." It was funny the first few times I heard it. But I assure you, it makes as much sense as the reasoning the Climate Change deniers make.

A energy "independent" state. Can't deliver energy to their citizens. A big con, based on ignorance of reality.

It is supposed to deliver wealth to the owners of energy corporations.

It has succeeded well with this goal.
