PLEASE end global cooling!
Our side is made up of wusses like Lindsey Graham. Dream on.....altrhough, this guy could have promise. I wish they’d pull out the stops!

Too bad his career didn’t display this sort of political courage more often.
They went after Kyl with a vengence. I am wondering how they will atack Voinovich. I think we will see it before the end of the week.

Hey! This could be big - if the pubbies grow a set!
We’ve seen bankers, auto execs, oil execs, energy execs, many other execs in front of the congress kleig lights.
So let’s put algore and his supporters on one side of the room; and on the other side the scientists against manmade warming, and then try to let the truth out to the shepple.
Shepple rule!
yep
Surely the Communist Sherrod Brown is going to vote for the Cap and Trade? How did the Ohio House Dems vote on it?
