Some Say He Made It Rain

In June of 2012, a Russian opposition leader, Ilya Ponomaryov, published a blog accusing the Russian government of seeding clouds with silver iodide in order to produce rain and thereby dampen the spirits of an opposition march. This accusation actually gained thousands of adherents in Russia, although it was mocked by the Western press... 

Some say Vladimir Putin made it rain
Yet others scoffed: "The man is but a fool."

The climate changers thought he'd gone insane
The very folks who shout, "The Earth must cool!"
Who teach their theories to your kids at school

Their remedy's to raise the carbon tax
~ Boost government control up to the max

I put nothing past anyone who really thinks they are in control of the climate. The newest is we eat the dead instead of meat. Human-Burgers? How distortful is that of all you learned? No more funerals or Chevra Kadisha! No honor for the body. Whether in the womb or tomb.Panagiota All hail, the planet only!

Bah! Humberger! … I don't think that human-burgers will go anywhere... You may remember that in 2015 there was a big push for eating insects for protein instead of meat. How's that doing? LOL. :) gw

You know, I put nothing past Mr. Putin either, come to think of it. Perhaps next time he'll make it rain vodka and get the opposition drunk. LOL. ~ gw
