1. Be right back I see a frog on the deck.

2. Its a little ironic that the cartoonist used

bad science to defend good science. A frog will make every attempt to get out as soon as the heat becomes uncomfortable.

4. Perhaps bad science

But people get the point. More important than getting mired in technicalities.

The boiled frog thing doesn't apply to just global warming. It applies to the Democratic party shifting to the right in general. Especially with respect to economics.

7. That suggests that frogs are smarter than humans

5. I'm just going to say that whole thing is bs

you put a frog in a pot with cold water and that frog is going to jump out before you even get it to the stove

6. That is actually just a myth.

The frog will react like other animals.
