"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., plans to use his post as chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee to crusade against global warming."

This idiot could warm the globe with his not-so-hot, confused rhetoric, all by himself!!!

Don't "crusade" McLaim, just seal yer hot lips!!!

McAinal is a really sick puppy. However, if he retires or enters that great place for idiots, the bull dyke governor of Arizona will appoint someone even worse.

Gonna give me flashbacks from when I was on ship, berthed under the flight deck of an Amphibious Assault Ship (Pelileu), trying to sleep while the Herrier pilots were pushing full operational tempo..... You never heard such a racket.

"You can be confident nothing good will happen for the next two years from an environmental standpoint."

Coming from him, that's music to my ears.

That came from Echevarria, not McLaim. These set-backs merely energize these insatiable nuts! They use them as object lessons to their troops as to why they need more money and more favorable coverage from their friends in the maleable media.

They rally round these rebounds of reason to fight even more insanely, usually with more litigation as well as the "court of public opinion!" (appealing to the emotions of generations raised on the wonderful world of Disney... talking trees & Bambi, etc.)

We really wish this crackpot would just shut up. He's always jumping on the bandwagon for anything that will help him fill up his weekly air time schedule. Hot air, that is.

This is in no way a slam dunk. I spoke to RJ Smith of CEI today and he said we've got a long way to go.

No where near time to celebrate.

* Rep. Richard Pombo of California. ... The recipient of a "zero" rating from the League of Conservation Voters,

I like him already!

Environmentalists say it will be used as an excuse to expand commercial logging

So what's wrong with that? I think the watermelons are just pissed because someone else may make money on 'their' trees.

Earth first. We'll log the other planets later
