Finally John Kerry cracks a real funny. He is so right that it would have been better for the repugnant ones if she had gone missing. Still she's a fool to think she's in Kerry's class of political heavyweights. He will take her apart if she tries to duel it our verbally with him.

We all know that Quitter Palin's op ed was written and paid for by the energy industry. She isn't smart enough to write such a long article without it being a rambling of idiotic proportions. She'll also need a ghost writer to write her book and she'll probably need him to read it to her so she knows what's in it. Better put lots of pictures in so she can look at them while ignoring the words.

When I'm wrong, I admit it and I have to say, we on the left were let down by our president yesterday in a major confrontation between lefties and right wingers.
In a sad demonstration of the art of delivering a baseball game's first pitch, southpaw President Obama proved he can't carry the resin bag of former President George W. Bush.
Not even a tip from Hall of Famer Willie Mays, who from Michigan hitched a ride to the Major League All Star Game in St. Louis with the president could help. "Just follow through and you'll be all right," the Say Hey Kid, now 78, advised the president.
Instead, President Obama, looking the part in a White Sox jacket, showed the world how much more accomplished the former president is at this task. Going with a full windup, Obama delivered in a reverse pivot, dismissed his adviser's tip by lobbing the ball far in the air, as if attempting a three point shot in some other sport. Only a miraculous catch by the games best player, Albert Pujols saved the president from further embarrassment.
Former President George W. Bush, meanwhile, has proved to be more than adept at the ceremonial pregame ritual. Perhaps this is because after a period of strenuous activity protecting the borders of Texas during the Viet Nam War while with the Air National Guard then managing an oil company into oblivion, Bush assumed ownership of Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers, where he had plenty of practice throwing the stitched sphere. In either a business suit or a ranch jacket, Bush, from a set position, could let fly a high, hard one on a line to the catcher.
By the way, President Obama, I also did not appreciate your diss of the captain of my beloved New York Yankees, Derek Jeter. "Old," you called him? Why you must have the all star shortstop by a good decade.
I hope you've learned your lesson, Mr. President, to stick with your own sport. I'd stay away from Sarah Palin's challenge of a distance race as well, President Obama. Even if you were able to win the race, she's got nicer legs...

Sorry, I submitted this earlier today, but I think it got lost, like many of my posts lately. If you did see it before, just disregard it this time (as you do all my posts, bad doggie,)

Also reported that the State lost business, because he wouldn't follow through with a meeting with a company that was looking to expand their business in South Carolina. Hell...with him in offece, those people don't need a s**ty economy, they just need to keep him, that way, their economy will NEVER recover.

Senator Kerry, I see you've cleverly changed the phrasing from "global warming" to "global climate change" since the "warming" part couldn't be validated. Your party is the sponsor of a wasteful stimulus package that is putting future generations permanently in debt. Therefore before we spend more trillions of dollars on something, we'd like to make sure it's necessary and not just some liberal idealogical move to grow gov't. We'd also like to make sure that our spending doesn't kill jobs while doing basically nothing to improve the environment. We'd also like to make sure we're not committing to a standard which other large nations (China, India...) are don't feel obliged to meet which will further make our country non-competitive.

Sarah Palin may be right when she says, "American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy."

But what she isn't recognizing is that the steady supply of abundant, affordable oil is coming to end. And while coal may be cheap in terms of dollars, it is expensive in terms of environmental impact.

But with cap and trade and a push toward "greener" energy sources, we will have that steady supply of abundant, affordable energy.

Palin's argument is the equivalent of saying in the early 20th century that American prosperity had been built on use of horses and oxen and that we should not embrace technology.

Are you serious? What scientists don't agree? There has been some debate about how quickly the impact is being felt and how steady it will be, but there is very little disagreement within the scientific community.

There was the report a few weeks ago about the EPA "suppressing" a report by someone that said that we needed to stop and take another look because new data didn't support the scientific conclusions. But then it was learned that the EPA person was an economist, not a scientist!

John Kerry, just another proponent of the politically correct alarmist view of man-made global warming. You want to discuss the issue seriously Senator? Then stop with the Palin bashing, that's just too easy to do these days. Try doing something harder and more responsible by rolling up YOUR sleeves and pushing the 'vigorous' debate you cite.

Yeah, lets debate the reliability of the data used to calculate average global temperature. Let's debate the impact of of the urban heat island effect in skewing temperature readings from individual weather stations. Let's debate what's known and what's not known about the interaction of clouds with greenhouse gases. Let's debate why the computer models the green evangalists use did not predict the leveling off of average global temperatures that have been observed in the 21st century. Yeah Senator, roll up your sleeves and explain to us skeptics why anyone should trust the alarmist pronouncements coming from a new and highly complex branch of science where the scope of uncertainty is so huge.

Oh, and for all the lefties who bash the Bushies for 'fear mongering' check out the rhetoric in the FR blurb: grave challenge, crisis of global climate change, real climate crisis. If that's not fear mongering, I don't know what is. The climate change zealots are doing their best to scare the pants off of everyone. The faith of the true believers in climate change is akin to religous fervor.

Even without climate change, cap and trade is a national security issue because of the need to depend less on foreign oil. This is not a one issue program, but includes job growth, technology competition, the climate, and oil, oil, oil.
President Carter warned of this 40 years ago, but because he has been discredited by the right, his warnings go unheard. Just because did not prove to be an effective president does not mean he is stupid.

Climate change can be measured in ways other than temperature, and that is what scientists do. Scientists can look at the fossil record or the geologic layers and see what lived where and when. Periods of extreme cold or heat show up in the geologic record. People who track plant and animal species know that habitats have changed at an accelerated rate, that some species are under stress because the rapidity of change hasn't given the species time to adapt. In addition to trying to slow the rate of climate change, it is a good idea to promote wise energy use -- using fewer non-renewable sources of energy and using less energy. The U.S. uses far more than its share of available energy because we have the money to do so. If other countries have more money, they will be able to outbid us for the energy we import, so it is also a security issue. Can Gov. Palin tell us how many years of energy use there is in Alaska? And what methodology she uses to determine that number?

Because she doesn't subscribe to the notion of MAN-MADE global warming, which we all know is junk science at best, and will only make friends of "O" rich, rich, rich!! Algore is salivating at the prospect. She brings a great point the American people want to know... Why don't democrats want the US to be less dependant on foreign oil? All the oil in Alaska including ANWR & off shore in AK & lwr 48 would help us achieve this IF we start NOW. It would give us time to actually develope an alternative which we DO NOT HAVE RIGHT NOW!
Our representatives shame us in their dereliction of duty. Not only can they NOT READ the bills before them, they can't hear what the American people want, or rather just don't give a damn what we want. Shame!
