We “won” the court case, yet appeals stretched the time of action for years. I came away feeling that not only is it nearly impossible to get effective legislation through Congress, but that the special interests can prevent implementation almost interminably. Democracy of the sort intended in 1776 probably could have dealt with climate change, but not the fossil-money-’democracy’ that now rules the roost in Washington.

They have organised to blame the shooting on Sarah Palin.
The third-ranking House Democrat, Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) responded on Wednesday to Palin, saying: “You know, Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it, on any front. I think she’s an attractive person, she is articulate. But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”
The motive of the alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, is not known; it is suggested he suffers from some form of mental illness.
There are consequences when morons are put in charge of government.

ONE of Julia Gillard’s top climate change advisers has warned that global warming may cause more extreme rain events.
Climate change committee member Professor Will Steffen, the executive director of the ANU Climate Change Institute, said there was no direct link between global warming and the tragic flash flooding in Toowoomba which has killed at least nine people in southeast Queensland.
But he told The Australian Online that climate change would lead to heavier, more frequent rain.
“As the climate warms, there is more water vapour in the atmosphere,” he told The Australian Online.

Ahh… That explains why California gets all their rain in the winter when the air is cold.
