While environmentalists are focused on the fuel economy aspects of the Bush administration's proposed new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, what is little noticed is an attempt to prevent states from setting tailpipe emission standards that are tougher than federal standards.

Reading about the spontaneous grassroots "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour organized by the spontaneous grassroots Move America Forward organization which was set up by the spontaneous grassroots Republican PR firm of Russo, Marsh and Rogers got me to thinking about Melanie Morgan, MAF's co-chairman.

I used to listen to Melanie when she was a reporter at KGO Radio in San Francisco. She was a good reporter with solid broadcasting skills and a pleasant demeanor. Then she left, and several years later came back to the Bay Area at right-wing talker KSFO. Something had changed; she was now a hate-spewing wingnut.

What the hell happened to her?

By now, you've probably seen the articles on the studies of the troposphere that did not agree with the rest of the global warming data and how it turned out that the data from those studies had been improperly interpreted. It's interesting to take a look at the two scientists who conducted this study, Dr. John Christy and Dr. Roy Spencer.

Here's a webpage from Dr. Christy, who describes himself as an "evangelical environmentalist" -

And here's what Dr. Spencer has to say in support of Intelligent Design -

So did these two just screw up, or is there something else going on here?
