RICHMAN vs. THE WEATHER

One hot summer's day, mild mannered tycoon Pubis Richly enjoys the refreshing breeze of the 
"And things are heating up today as Congress is still deadlocked over what to do 
about climate change..."
"...if they can't come to an agreement by noon, Congress has agreed they will all kill themselves." 
"Got your Koolaid cup ready?" "Sure do! And it's filled with poison!" "Can nothing avert this looming 
disaster up on Capitol Hill?" LIVE AT CONGRESS: VBNN Very Bad News Network
"This looks like a job for Richman."


Moments later up on Capitol Hill. "Gentlemen please come to order, I believe it's time to kill 
ourselves. Shall we put it to a vote?" "Hear, hear." "Cheers!" "Wait, what's that outside!"

"Look! Up in the sky! It's a dollar bill!" "No, it's a dollar bill driving a car!" "No, it's-"


CRASH RICHMAN! "Ahhhh!" "Neeaaahh!"


"Fear not civil servants, Richman is here! Now what's the problem?" "The ice caps are melting!" 
"Global warming is fake!" "I want my mommy!" "I, for one, still thirst for poisonous Koolaid."

"Hmm... it appears you're all pinned between a rock and a Rolls-Royce. What you gentlemen
need is a common cause..."

"Saving the earth?" "Saving the human race?" "Working together because bad weather 
affects everyone no matter their class, creed, or color?"

"No-no, gentlemen. You need a COMMON cause..."



A COMMON CAUSE 2000 TO BE EXACT! CHICK CHICK.

"A SOLAR PANEL FOR EVERY CHILD!!" "Now see here! The oil industry isn't going to 
just roll over and let solar take over!" -Mr. Oil McLobbyist

Hear hear gentlemen, let us declare a federal holiday today: "The-End-of The-Climate-Change-
Crisis Day." Now the government can finally afford... to cut back on government spending.
