(I think the funniest thing I’ve seen is recent years is that bit about the Pious creating clouds of ‘smug’. I wish I’d thought of that!)

It appears hell hath frozen over
I don't think it's hell freezing over as much as the theory of AGW unraveling. Even though the news media has totally ignored recent findings that 1934 is the hottest year in the last 107 years, the word is out there, creeping around, shaking the foundations of the Religion of AGW.

It's not that suddenly journalists have found integrity. That would require hell to freeze over. But it's not that at all.

It's just that the smart ones want to distance themselves from the huge rotting edifice of the Theory of AGW. They don't want to get caught standing near it when it crashes down, WTC-style, in a cloud of embarrassing dust and debris.

“Dissent is, or should be, the lifeblood of a free society.”

it is not “dissent” however.

questioning theorys is part of the scientific PROCESS.

The global warming zealots are trying to GAG that process.

Global warming would save billions of dollars spent heating homes for the poor that will not pay their own bills.

Global warming is a good thing.

Wow. It almost looks as if this guy realized there could be something that might be even worse than global warming, namely unbridled facism.

And add: the now discredited “9 hottest years” tripe pedaled by Gore and his PhD-besotted “scientist” Dr. Hansen, who it turns out, understands less about the scientififc method than the average 8th grader.

The story was a wonderful read, marred only by its being fundamentally misleading.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
