Let's see if we can come up with some important priorities for the security of the United States and the growth of its economy. Well, number one is surely the protection the nation against any further attacks by Islamist fundamentalists. Clearly this has been successful to date. It will remain, however, a constant concern for decades to come.
Another priority would be to insure that the nation continues to have the energy it requires to maintain and grow our thriving economy. We use a lot of electricity and our cars and trucks use a lot of fuel, as do our fleets of aircraft. The result is the movement of goods in, around, and out of the nation in an era of global trade.
The agricultural sector needs electricity and fuel as well. It needs access to irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides to protect crops. So what does Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, think is the nation's highest priority?
In an announcement on Thursday, February 8, she made it clear that Global Warming is her highest priority. Citing the utterly bogus scare mongering of the Fourth Assessment Report of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Speaker Pelosi has seen the future and it is one that "will reshape our planet and society. We also see a future in which harsh consequences could be blunted by our prompt action."
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. The greatest fools of all are those running around these days shouting, "Global Warming! Global Warming! Global Warming!" Most of these people are relatively harmless because they do not have their hand on the lever of governmental power, but Speaker Pelosi is literally in the line of succession to the Oval Office.

And very, very stupid. Just flat dumb. Dumb as a box o' bricks. It's clearly obvious every time she opens her mouth. I think the rats made a blunder by putting her in there as minority leader when Little Tricky Dickie Geb(sic)hardt bailed out.
Bush was riding high, at least as high as he's ever ridden, and they thought they'd put a big mouth in there to fire salvos at the President, being sure that she'd wind up with an assfull of arrows in return.
Little did they expect at the time that the Repubics would self-immolate and they'd get power back this soon, too soon to get the wicked witch of the west out of the way.
"I think if you tie her up or restrain her in any way she might just like it a lot."
And a tattletale, too.
She could relieve the global warming by NOT flying from the east coast to California every weekend.
But she is still smarter than Barbara Boxer, if you can believe that.
It has taken them a while to figure it out but "global warming" is easier to sell than Communism when you want to redistribute wealth.
