Weekend at Henry’s - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online

That was quite something, seeing Waxman & co. drag this lifeless, increasingly fetid corpse around, pretending that it's got legs of its own. And I must admit to complete sympathy with those who are upset that, were it not for those eight Yeas who self-identify as Republican, the bill's champions wouldn't have had to waste their time cleaning up Patrick Kennedy for an outing; the jig would've been up.

And so . . . 219-212. That's priceless — putting aside my recollection of commenting, upon hearing that eight or so Republicans had been given a "pass" on the bill by GOP leadership, that "This could be an eight-vote vote. You never know. It could be that close."

Herbert should do his homework on climate

Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert says he needs "conclusive" evidence that human-caused climate change is real. We're not sure how much evidence is needed to convince him, if, indeed, there ever could be enough. It seems his mind is made up by a political ideology that leads him to disbelieve the virtual mountain of evidence that has already been presented to the world. In the editorial "Stubborn denial," The Tribune Editorial Board pointed out that thousands of the most respected climate scientists in the world agree that the globe is warming and that carbon emissions from power plants, cars, homes and industry are the cause. In fact, the consensus is overwhelming. If Herbert wants convincing scientific evidence, he has only to study the numerous reports available online. If he is still unconvinced, then we must conclude that his doubts only reflect an ideological mistrust of science.

Homer: I'd give anything to get into the Stonecutters. Lisa: What do they do there, Dad? Abe: I'm a member -- Homer: What do they do? What _don't_ they do? [laughs] Oh, they do so many things they never stop. Oh, the things they do there, my stars. Lisa: You don't know _what_ they do there, do you? Homer: Not as such, no.
