>He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.

“Eventually, even the peddlars of climate alarmism will have to concede that the hoopla over manmade catastrophic global warming and the proposed solutions like the costly and ineffective Kyoto Protocol, will prove to be one of the history’s most misguided concerns– joining the 1970’s coming ice age fears, overpopulation and famines scares — to name just a few.”
–Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Chairman of the Environment & Public Works Committee

Wow. And this guy is actually an elected member of our Congress. WOW.
Fucking assholes.
OH, and the best part? The article that he’s commenting on, is (according to the title referenced by his press release) about how the impact of COWS is worse than CARS! So, like, the cows are doing it then… Without ANY help from us… who–oh yeah–BREED THEM.
Of course, I’m sure he has nothing to say about the fucking POLAR BEARS (Note: link from the WSJ, no less)
Inspired by this note from the kind folks over at SNG:
Looks like we have a few skeptics on our hands: SENATOR INHOFE ANNOUNCES PUBLIC RELEASE OF “SKEPTIC’S GUIDE TO DEBUNKING GLOBAL WARMING”
Oklahoma senator James Inhofe is Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee–he just published a booklet called “Hot and Cold Media Spin Cycle: A Challenge To Journalists Who Cover Global Warming.” It’s in color and substantiated with lots of pretty charts and graphics and quotes from real, live scientists! Almost as good a read as State of Fear!

“Trembling, he waited for the terror to abate, and Khadija held him in her arms, soothing him and trying to take his fear away. All the sources emphasise Muhammad’s profound dependence on Khadija during this crisis. ”

From Democratic Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware regarding the administration’s military tribunal system and congress’ pending legislation on the matter:
“I find it difficult for us to buy in to the notion that let’s just trust the president’s judgment,’’ Mr. Biden said. “God love him, his judgment has been terrible.’’

There are only two roads that lead to something like human happiness. They are marked by the words: love and achievement…. In order to be happy oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy…. The secret of human happiness is not in self-seeking but in self-forgetting.

“With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
