AOL Asks the Important Question

My occasional measuring stick for the level of national discourse are the "news" items on the AOL website.

This one is particularly chilling-hilarious. It notes that 2007 will be this hemisphere's warmest in 127 years of record keeping. Scary huh? We're all going to f*cking die.

Then it asks the readers the obvious question:

How do you like your winters? Nice and frosty? As warm as possible? Somewhere in between?

Could we please add D) a sign of our impending extinction?
