And he cares, too: Waxman promises quick action on climate
California Rep. Henry Waxman said Thursday the environment and U.S. economy depend on congressional action to confront the threat of climate change. Waxman, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, spoke as he opened Congress' first hearing on climate legislation.
Regardless of the direction that our next round of "climate change" takes, or how effective Congressional "solutions" are in stopping it, Rep. Waxman seems well-equipped for subterranean survival.
Lorie adds: I read the headline "Waxman promises quick action on climate" at Drudge. It appeared just below and to the left of the following headlines there:
The picture in Michael's post above is in jest, but the stories I referenced above are the real thing. I don't know which is funnier.

Shawn -
KFC's having a special on a 7-wing combo. Makes you wonder - have they bred a bird with three and a half pairs of wings?
And how would they fly?

Talk about tying a pork chop around his neck so the family dog will play with him. Last time I saw a mouth like that was when I got attacked by the chupacabra.
Batboy's no prize pig either.

I'm here in central Illinois, where it's -14°, waiting for Henry Waxman to "solve" the Global Warming Problem.
What a great illustration of the man and his mission!

Actually, it depends on the imbeciles and humans. If you have enough imbeciles, certain humans can sell, "We'll f*ck up the weather so you'll pay us to blame you for it". Quo bono?

Maybe global warming is BS, but repeatedly misrepresenting the theory only makes you look like the moron. If you care so much about debunking it, perhaps you should first understand what it claims.
Even an idiot can read any article on it and grasp that, while supposedly heat is being added to the weather system, this makes it more energetic and chaotic, producing wider variations in temperatures, stronger winds, worse storms, etc. This means snow in Florida and unseasonably warm days in Alaska. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE TEMPERATURE UNIFORMLY MOVES UP ACROSS THE GLOBE.
That you continue to post such drivel only undermines your case. Please stop now, you aren't helping.

Another guy who happens to live at the one point on the globe that exactly replicates mean world temperature.
Congratulations, Bob.
It's interesting how few bloggers chose to discuss AGW and how many jumped at the opporunity to mock Henry Waxman's visage. You know what everybody forgot to mention - He's a "four eyes." Snort, snort, yuk, yuk.
