There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented.
Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:
I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

I think that I’m right when I say that
1) there were no glaciers on Long Island
2) then there were
3) then there weren’t

from the above link
“The most recent advance came through about 24,000 years ago (Lowell and Dorion, 2001), and that ice sheet spread rapidly as far as the southern edge of Long Island, and also far out into the present Gulf of Maine. Because it has been only 13,000 years or so since the ice left in the last recession, some people think the Ice Age might not be over, and that the great glaciers could advance once again within a few thousand years (see this news release). Such blocks of time are only the blink of a geologist’s eye in the great calendar of earth events.”
When the people pushing the global warming theory can explain how humans caused the ice to first cover, and then recede from, long island, ny, then I’ll listen to them.
She is one gorgeous, intelligent woman with more class in her little finger, than the Kenyan in the Wh could buy if he had all the money in the world.
This is so well-written! Clean, simple, coherent, so much political writing lacks coherence—with a little hometowny slang thrown in to enrage the snobs.

I agree. Easy read, to the point and a smack in the face for the Kenyan.
