Morons in high places

Senator Inhofe believes that global warming is simply a hoax. He is going to prevent Al Gore from putting on a concert in Washington D.C. to call attention to the problem of global warming. Inhofe, whose view of global warming is not shared by hardly anyone (including now not even Wall Street), claims that the concert is a partisan event. He is apparently so blinded by his belief that he cannot even understand that global warming is NOT a partisan problem. Either Inhofe is an absolute moron or he is in the pockets of the energy companies. Global warming is REAL and human behavior has something to do with it. How do Republicans even find people like this (think Santorum, Allen, DeLay, Harris, and others)?

I don't think tomorrow is going to be a good day for Bush's wind-up toy Attorney General. I gather that Sampson, not wanting to be the fall guy, is going to testify that the firings of the eight attorneys were indeed motivated by political reasons (as if there were any real doubts about this). This is going to increase pressure for Karl Rove to be forced to testify about his role in this nefarious business. I cannot see how Gonzales can survive no matter how much Bush tries to protect him. There is just too much blood in the water at this point for this to simply be ignored along with the myriad other scandals of this criminal administration. Calls for impeachment are growing louder everyday (not that it is likely to happen as Bush/Cheney will probably be forced to resign first - or at least they should be).

All may not be lost. Here and there one sees a glimmer of intelligent thought. San Francisco is going to ban plastic bags (what a terrific idea), the absurd marijuana laws are increasingly being questioned, alternative forms of energy are being promoted, automobile manufacturers are starting to get the message, universal health care is on its way, and the gap between the rich and poor has become so dysfunctional that even that may begin to change. Most days under this administration I see the glass empty. Today I see it maybe 1/32 full. Perhaps things will pick up. Perhaps justice will prevail. Perhaps truth will triumph. Perhaps, perhaps.
