clipper's remarks: Interesting, eh?

Unemployment rates are rising across the United States, except Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong employment-focused immigration reform law.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year.

"Oklahoma is no longer 'OK' for illegal aliens," said State Rep. Randy Terrill, who sponsored House Bill 1804 which passed by overwhelming majorities last year in both the House (84-14) and Senate (41-6) of the Oklahoma Legislature.

clipper's remarks: lol, this moonbattery guy is a riot:

Someone has been discovered who has actually been affected by the phantom global warming phenomenon — a famous personage who will be dearly missed after his CO2-induced demise: the Loch Ness Monster.

Legendary Nessie hunter Robert Rines is giving up his search for the monster after 37 years. […] Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming.

I thought Nessie was some kind of dinosaur. Wouldn't he be better suited to warm weather than cold? If Nessie couldn't take the mild warming trend we experienced back in the 1990s, it's probably curtains for Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman too. Even aliens might affected, considering that global warming has been found on Mars and Neptune.
