MURRAY: EPA's ginormous power grab - Washington Times
It's a sure sign that a government agency has become overmighty when it vastly increases its budget, grabs power unconstitutionally and treats Congress with contempt. All of this applies to the Environmental Protection Agency. Unless Congress acts quickly to curb the EPA's power, it will become a huge drag on the economy. Few bodies are more deserving of cutbacks now.
[Ridiculous claim from Kathleen Sebelius: Will State Department climate hoax efforts really "slow the spread of infectious disease"?]
[Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius] also mentioned EPA efforts to reduce pollution; HUD efforts to develop “green and healthy” homes; and State Department efforts to “slow climate change” – which will “slow the spread of infectious disease as well,” she said.
Mark Landsbaum: Parents: Stop scaring kids about global warming | washington, mark, div - Opinion - The Orange County Register
In Washington, the Independent Women’s Forum's campaign, Balanced Education for Everyone, advocates that parents take control of their children’s education, "especially when it comes to alarmist global warming indoctrination."
Here are some women who get it right.

“Parents need to ask their children’s teachers, ‘What are you doing for Earth Day this year?’” said IWF President and CEO Michelle Bernard. “Too often, our children are being subjected to terrifying lectures on global warming and movies like ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and ‘The 11th Hour,’ while being told they represent settled science. That’s just not the case.”
“Dealing a Mortal Blow” to the MWP « Climate Audit
Maybe it’s just a vocabulary thing. Perhaps Overpeck feels that the term “getting rid of” is a little too Tony Soprano-ish for the “Director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth”, whereas the term “dealing a mortal blow” has the right sort of Arthurian cadence for Overpeck, who would rather be cast as Sir Launcelot than Tony Soprano.

Be that as it may, while Overpeck was concerned that Deming might produce a “fake email” purporting to show Overpeck seeking to “get rid of the MWP”, Overpeck hasn’t challenged the authenticity of the Climategate email in which he aspires to “deal a mortal blow” to the MWP.
