So I turned on CSPAN this morning, and Haley Barbour was giving testimony...
...about how the poor oil and gas industries are being "punished" by cap-and-trade, and how families will have to pay more for electricity, yadda yadda, etc.

Does this right-wing hack realize that there won't be any electricity if we let CO2 emissions continue at their current rate? Moreover, does he care?

Also, I saw Senator James "the Bible tells me so" Inhofe spout off his bullshit about how global warming is a hoax...again.

1. Haley's been running around the country
raising money here lately. Expect to see a lot more of him between now and 2012.

2. I saw it too... in true Jon Stewart fashion , I wanted to shout
"shut the fuck up" at the TV in the hope that they would hear me. Alas no.

3. Understand that what Barber understands is
the check the energy lobby cuts for him every cycle.
