Waxy is one miserable bastard to say the least. I can see this clown insist there be a double sales tax on the purchase of snow shovels.

Waxman’s statement was a complete load of nonsense. He suggests that businesses are just clamoring for more environmental regulation, which is absurd. The Democrats want to ram legislation through at full speed, for the benefit of their political supporters. They can’t wait, because soon the global warming scare will be just a memory.

The only change I see is record cold temps. That doesn’t seem to go along with the global warming crowd so they want quick action before we actually think about this. Utter nonsense. If anything, we’re in a global cooling period. Anyone care to disagree? Just step outside.

This gets the award for most hilarious thread of the day, maybe the week. I had tears running down my face.

This gets the award for most hilarious responses of the day, maybe the week. I had tears running down my face. Why is that conservatives always seem to such a good sense of humor. Most of the dems I know are boring.

The computer I'm using right now doesn't have my favorite toy, Photoshop, on it, but maybe y'all get my drift.

It feels like Waxman has conquered Global Warming already. Why doesn’t he declare victory and quit.
Ohh, I guess it has nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with $$ ie transfering it from my pocket into THEIRS! and this hasn’t been accomplished enough yet.

For a man who can't even get a handle on his nose hair, Waxman controling the climate seems to be a pretty tall order.

His Omessiah must be helping him redefine reality somehow.

Its hard not to relish the coming cognitive dissonance.
