He has told reporters that he changed his mind after hearing from retired military officers concerned that climate change will trigger political upheaval around the world and draw the United States into new conflicts.

what a bunch of Bravo Sierra. give us a break

Kill bill.

Bottom line? The global warming hoax bill is a massive tax increase on the American people.

I dig the hunter taking aim at the penguin.

Republicans said Reid broke a deal to bring several of President Bush's judicial nominees to a vote

Dingy is a slimy bastard. More here.

But the legislation's supporters cite studies that forecast a much smaller impact. The Bush administration's Energy Information Agency, for example, puts the additional monthly cost to consumers at only $2.50 a month by 2030 and $6 by 2050.

Are you kidding me!!! There must of been some truly wacky assumptions, perhaps cold fusion powers the country, to come up with numbers like that. If the costs are so low then people will not change their behavior and CO2 admissions will not change.

He’s (Rush) taking aim at algore.

What kind of asshole would kill a defenseless penguin? Now if the penguin were armed with an AK-47 it would be justified.

Perhaps the penguin is brainwashed henchman (henchbird?) of the Goreacle.

In my youth it was Hubert Humphrey. These days it’s Bush and Warner and Lieberman. Why can such blow-hards do so much damage, then die leaving producers who never even knew them to do so much heavy lifting?

[Eric Blair 2084]

Maybe subconsciously I thought it would be funny if the penguin took a bullet for algore. I dunno.

I wouldn’t put it past liberals to use the wildlife they claim to love as a human shield to save themselves from a bullet.

[JLS]

Let’s see:

1. Cap and Trade policies for reducing pollution are more efficient than command and control by government policies.

2. No policy is good when it is reacting to a hoax.

So as 1 indicates, IF we had a warming problem great enough to accept the harm to the economy that reducing CO2 levels would cause, Cap and Trade would be an efficient policy. However a policy changed that would hurt the economy due to a hoax is a bad idea.

As an aside, why do people in countries who would benefit from global warming like Canada and Sweden support policies reduce it?????

[Slump Tester]

We could really use this bill to show how stupid the rats are, but wait - RINO McCain is in favor of it too.

Nevermind.

The Goreacle could play the part of The Penguin in a new Batman film...

I thought Danny Devito did a good job as the Penguin.

[Army Air Corps]

Sure, but the Goreacle could play the Penguin in the line of Batman films. Batman versus a deluded huckster peddling his “green” religion.
