The Climate Change craze has really gotten, well, crazy. One of the leaders of the Crazy Movement is New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old former barmaid who showed up one day in Congress after closing late. She is the one who "drafted" the Green New Deal. She is the one who has predicted that the city of Miami will be gone in a few years. (Given the performances of the MLB Marlins and NFL Dolphins, she may be onto something.) This is the kind of insanity that the Climate Change crowd engages in. Next thing you know, somebody will suggest we start eating our babies to save ourselves from Global Warming.
Oh wait! What's this?

Yes, the Internet is abuzz today with reports of a woman attending a speech by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and telling the brain dead congresswoman and the audience that we all had to start eating babies in save ourselves from Global Warming because we only have a few months left.
I hasten to point out that the whole thing was a stunt, probably designed not only to make the whole event look like a circus (which it was anyway), but to see if the audience would applaud her statement and to suck AOC into a dopey response. I guess the reason Real Clear Politics didn't report that is because they hadn't figured it out yet! To be fair, it seems a lot of folks on both sides thought it was real.
Well, to her great credit, AOC didn't say something to the effect that the woman's idea merited careful consideration, nor did the audience break out in a standing ovation.
But did the audience jeer the statement and demand that security remove the obviously crazed person from the venue? No. Outside of a couple of people, most sat there appearing to be listening respectfully to the woman's "ideas". Did AOL react in shock and tell the woman she needed to head for the nearest psychiatrist? No. What she did was reassure the woman that luckily, we had more time than just a few months in order to save ourselves! The implication was that we don't need to start eating babies-not just yet anyway.
So add another chapter to the comic book saga of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Some day, maybe Mel Brooks will make a movie about her life and career.
