Like a stopped clock is right twice a day, this ole boy is accidentally right every eon or so. I think he did five darn good things in the 19 years he's been up there, so he's not 100% bad.

It's too late to turn this around with this kind of lame, costly effort. We debated and futzed and this is too little, too late. We should focus either on using our wealth and technology on adapting to what's comming OR try for some way cool scientific program to work around the damage done. I vote for dumping sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere. (i think it's sulfur dioxide, dunno it's what volcanos spew in major eruptions) It caused major global cooling many times in the past. It would put people to work, and we could get the other developed nations to foot part of the bill.<br /><br />RussAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-54644805945729362612009-06-27T16:29:24.772-04:002009-06-27T16:29:24.772-04:00You must admit, Satan is a very hard worker.You must admit, Satan is a very hard worker.Windy Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-10282193618357018942009-06-27T14:50:56.388-04:002009-06-27T14:50:56.388-04:00http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&am...http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=avLVPogS6lh0<br /><br />Just remember folks, when we are paying $6 a gallon for gas to kick anyone sporting an "O" bumpersticker in his man-purse when he starts bitching about those evil "Big Oil" companies.José Gigantéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808360534075501817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-87455204919856703902009-06-27T14:22:51.372-04:002009-06-27T14:22:51.372-04:00"I'm in Congress because my mother was&qu...<i>"I'm in Congress because my mother was"</i><br /><br />Grandmother, but it doesn't make any difference.<br /><br />As turns out, I've been sitting in meetings today with the guy who ought to be sitting in his chair right now, and who is more of a statesman in his little finger than Andre is in his entire body.<br /><br />Hard to beat the machine.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-13397917713151760552009-06-27T11:04:16.079-04:002009-06-27T11:04:16.079-04:00You know, reading the number of Hoosier Democrats ...You know, reading the number of Hoosier Democrats that voted against this (Mark Souder, holy shit) makes me almost kind of hopeful that Evan Bayh and Dick Lugar won't pull some stupid stunt and vote for this.Calebhttp://gunnuts.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-65251898999258664952009-06-27T10:50:17.282-04:002009-06-27T10:50:17.282-04:00I appreciate the oblique reference to Winston Chur...I appreciate the oblique reference to Winston Churchill's "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."

That holds true for more than just environmental issues. <br /><br />This bill will raise the cost of electricity. I guess the Congresstards figure electricity is only for lights and A/C in goobermint buildings, bars, restaurants and jewelry stores; it's not required in any manufacturing. Unfortunately for that little dab of ignorance, it's used in the manufacture of fertilizer, which is used to grow food.<br /><br />Electric prices go up? So do food prices--and the costs of everything else as well. Everything: Cement and steel for the Big O's infrastructure projects, among other stuff. It might well be cheaper for foreign car plants here to shut down; ocean freight costs are quite reasonable, really.<br /><br />Enuf.<br /><br />ArtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-59081614235879193372009-06-27T08:54:56.090-04:002009-06-27T08:54:56.090-04:00"Cap" our productivity and "Trade&q..."Cap" our productivity and "Trade" our prosperity.<br />As GM goes, so goes the country, so we will all be grubmint employees soon.milton fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222904984648426127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-4852103761959280042009-06-27T08:47:24.456-04:002009-06-27T08:47:24.456-04:00“It might as well have been named the cap-and-trad...<i>“It might as well have been named the cap-and-trade-our-jobs-to-China bill,” Souder said.</i><br /><br />Well, <b>someone</b> understands, at least...perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-63879889674822403912009-06-27T08:34:36.897-04:002009-06-27T08:34:36.897-04:00Carson's support for the Democrats' "...Carson's support for the Democrats' "Control the Weather by Creating New Taxes" plan is actually pretty low on the list of ludicrous things about him.
