Why are so many Americans prepared to ignore climate change when some 97 percent of climatologists agree that human action is causing climate change? Would they ignore physicians, engineers, counter-terrorism authorities, or public health experts who brought similarly dire warnings of major threats?

The interpretations of the Coaklastrophe are prone to confirming a given author’s previous views: moderate Democrats wills say that Obama has been too liberal, while progressive Democrats will say that Obama has been too moderate. The economy is obviously a major factor, and voters seem mighty quick to forget where their troubles began, but the Coaklastrophe was also the product of a series of internal failings as this Massachusetts Democrat witnessed first hand.

The public option campaign has long passed the point where it is serving any useful purpose. It's time to take a break and do something else, when the very campaign has become self-defeating.

We keep hearing that conservative and moderate Democrats and the so-called Blue Dogs are dragging their feet on health care reform and complaining about the public option, but their complaints are hard to understand because their constituents would in many cases benefit disproportionately from a bill. They also say that they wish to reduce the cost of reform but oppose measures that would accomplish this end.

Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota has been complaining and grumbling about the cap and trade provisions in the Obama budget. Such resistance to starting the real fight against global warming is both disheartening and short-sighted. Conrad insists that polluting industries will need aid, but his state has unrivalled potential to reap a bonanza from a cap-and-trade system.

There are still a few exceptions such as California's governor, but increasinly the GOP is defining itself as the GWP (Global Warming Party). This GWP consists of flat-earth science haters, certain libertarian extremists, and a Nero faction that apparently just wants to watch as the world heats up. This year poses a major test for the small number of sitting Republican Senators who have not denied or actually cheered on the prospect of Global Warming, and the intial signs are not positive in the case of one J

Amazon tracks reader interests closely, so I was not surprised to see a pitch for a history book on Amazon, but I was taken aback by the title pitched to me: Jonah Goldberg's screed Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, now the number one customer favorite in the category of history books for 2008: http://www.amazon.com/...

From today’s Boston Globe comes more information about the great exaggerator: Hillary Zelig Clinton and her non-pivotal role in the creation of the SCHIP program for children’s health insurance.

In refusing to reject water boarding George W. Bush links the United States of America with a long history of hundreds of years of torture. Water boarding links the Spanish conquerors of the Americas to the world's leading democracy.

Hillary Clinton ‘s vote to enable George Bush to go to war in Iraq has gotten lots of attentions, but her explanations after the fact create a major credibility problem for her. We’ve heard a lot about vote authorizing war, but her explanations of a now-forgotten alternative to war are just as troubling.
