SF to Have Something Big in Common with Atlantis by 2100

The National Geographic reported today that scientists now project that the Arctic may have melted completely by the end of this century, raising sea level globally by some 20 feet or so. The hardest hit, of course, would be coastline areas, especially major cities like ours that run right up to the water. We can't help but think that this is a nefarious plot by the GOP to make sure that the 2100 elections are locked up by submerging the majority of the blue states (and now we know why they're colored blue to begin with -- clever foreshadowing, no?). Also, in the post-election handwringing, implications from the all-but-Republican Dianne Feinstein that it was really San Francisco's endorsement of marriage for all that lost the election for Kerry, it's possible that San Francisco has been targeted for ice-cap-melting-submersion by not only Republicans but bitter, homophobic Democrats. More updates as this story, uh, submerges.
