The sad thing is, as long as he keeps pumping money into the state for construction and oil company subsidies, our state will re-elect him.  It doesn't matter if he changes his policy every other week, if he's obviously on the take from oil companies, if his son is drummed out of the State Senate, or if he tells his own constituents that he can't/won't do anything for them.  They'll keep voting for him for the rest of his life, and probably one or two terms after.

Taking accounting to the extreme since 2004.

Oh, and lest ye be fooled by the logo, KTUU (the Alaska station reporting on Shishmaref's gradual collapse) is an NBC affiliate, not CBS.

GreyFlcn, that link is a brilliant, subtly funny debunking.  How come subtly funny people never get to make policy?  Who's up for forming the Snarky Sense of Humor party?

But nah, I doubt that's Senator Stevens's source.  I'd bet money that his "source" was a 10-page popular science article about climate history which he didn't quite understand, but he didn't let that stop him from making wild extrapolations from his own vague miscomprehensions, and calling it science. It's how all the best research is done, dontcha know.

We got a bathroom at our airport that has worked with one senator.  who knows, maybe we can get another.

...except that it isn't. The guy's a lawmaker, for criminy sake. With power. He shouldn't be allowed to drive, let alone use a fork.

Who is the rest of this "we" who thinks the planet will start cooling soon? Or is he feeling particularly regal?

Notice how Stevens erased the Little Ice Age, beloved hobbyhorse of denialists everywhere.

It's too bad this old codger will croak before he sees how wrong he really was.
