Proud member of the alternate-reality-based community

Something Glenn said earlier really caught my attention:

IS THIS HOPE, OR CHANGE: In Las Vegas, 80% of homes are underwater.
Actually, it is neither hope nor change. The only possible explanation is global warming -- just as Al Gore warned us!

Remember this?

I well remember the warnings, but I didn't realize it would happen this fast or this dramatically. Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert, for cripes sake! For the flooding to occur there means that perhaps I should reexamine my AGW skepticism.

Needless to say, it took me a while to gather the courage to click the link Glenn provided (it shocks me to have to admit that I might have been wrong about Global Warming) but then I saw the headline and I was even more shocked:

The 20 Cities With The Most Underwater Homes

At that point I couldn't take any more. I'd rather not know the details of all these flooded cities with underwater homes.

I just want to be in denial, OK? Better to be in denial than to have an Emily Litella moment.

You know - I clicked that link of Insty's, saying to myself "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot? Vegas underwater?"

Found out my sister city, Fort Myers, is also underwater - news to me. One would think my parents, who live there, would have said something... :-P
