   Shortly after his "Macaca"incident, he discovered that he had Jewish ancestry. His reaction to that was as if he had been freshly circumcized without anathesia. Maureen Dowd, if memory serves, dubbed him "Senator Macacawitz." And now he's being trotted out as a spokesperson for the trogolodyte rump of the energy industry. One of Napoleon's maxims went like this: "When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt him."

   Watching the GOP these days is like watching someone you don't really like becoming more and more drunk at a party. At first, you're just amused, but eventually, you just have to shake your head at the sadness of it all.

   Congratulations to Mr. Allen for having the courage to spell out the truth and defend Americans from Obama’s criminal Global Warming/cap and trade hoax. No doubt radicals will ridicule and demonize Allen as per Obama’s/Alinsky’s rules for radicals. Agreeing with Allen, more than 700 international scientists dissent over man-made global warming claims. They are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. http://www.climatechangefraud.com/content/view/3562/218/Additionally, more than 31,000 U.S. scientists have signed onto a petition that states, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate…” http://www.petitionproject.org/index.html

      I know someone whose dog signed that 31,000 one too.  Great source of information.

      I'm very sorry to report that you've been rather badly "Madoffed." Just as thousands of people presumed they could trust Bernard Madoff, including Elie Wiesel and Steven Spielberg among others, you've been misled by people you thought you could trust.You must be unaware of the vast, well-funded climate denial industry which has been actively trying to create confusion around the truth of climate science for nearly two decades. You can go to the Union of Concerned Scientists website, www.ucs.org, and download their chilling report: "Smoke Mirrors & Hot Air: How ExxonMobil uses Big Tobacco's Tactics to Manufacture Uncertainty on Climate Science."The 31,000 signatures you mentioned (or is it 30,999 + 1 dog) was the work of another industry funded organization: The Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine. You can find out all about it and the "Oregon Petition," they're responsible for at http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Oregon_Institute_of_Science_and_Medicine.It should go without saying that the challenges we face in the area of climate and energy are unprecedented on every level and it is easy to understand why so many reach for the comforting "truthiness" omnipresent on the Internet -- the place where lies never die. Clearly you have done so, but as an adult you would set a better example by being grown up enough to admit that you've been punked and cease cooperating with those whose are motivated only by short term profit and are quite prepared to destroy the future of at least 50 generations of our descendents to improve their bottom line.Returning to the subject of Senator Allen's new found courage, I admit that it is possible for a known racist and anti-Semite to turn over a new leaf. This effort, however, is very far from that.

   Ahh, yes Senator Allen, let's do talk about the prosperity in Wise County, Virginia thanks to the new and improved clean, greedy, green, hybrid coal industry and mountaintop removal.  http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138

   What did I tell you? I told you radicals would ridicule and demonize Allen as per Obama’s/Alinsky’s rules for radicals. The rest of us, however, thank Allen, and the isults from radicals only demonstrate that Allen is right and deserves our gratitude and support.
