Editorial cartoonist Tom Toles has an amusing bit about how we can blame our politicians for everything:
You don’t have to consult any experts; you can see with your own eyes what is happening under the Obama administration. The leaves, ALL OF THEM, are coming off the trees! Sure, you can try to dress that up in pretty colors, but Obama promised GROWTH, and what we’re getting instead are BARE BRANCHES!
Our homes used to be places where we could relax in comfort with the windows open. But now? There is a CHILL in the air. What was all that talk about WARMING TRENDS? Sweaters don’t lie. The facts in the paper say it’s colder than it was JUST ONE MONTH AGO, and this when Democrats control BOTH houses of Congress. Why don’t you try and explain why your health-care plan didn’t stop me from catching this miserable head cold? Time for some hot TEA!
And whatever happened to our DAYLIGHT after dinner? Don’t try saying that it isn’t getting dark earlier, Mr. Socialist! You may not have CAMPAIGNED on taking away our daylight, but facts are facts, and you can’t run away from them. Oh, and how about reckless squandering of these very resources? Daylight SAVINGS Time is about to expire ON YOUR WATCH! You didn’t lift a finger to prevent that. Don’t think we are too stupid to notice! Well, the voters have a big message to send to you Mr. Anticolonialist: the winter of our discontent is coming!

OK, what else can we blame the Democrats or the Republicans for?
