FWIW, Johnson (R-WI) is up for re-election, possibly against the dude who voted against the PATRIOT act back in 2001, Russ Feingold. I dunno 'bout the rest of 'em, but that guy seems bootable.

And the 90 percent of their rank-and-file constituents who were delighted when gasoline went from $4 a gallon to $2.50, and who want it to stay that way.

I know Iām pointing out the obvious but this crap drives me nuts. You take something that SHOULD have nothing to do with politics and it goes straight down the party line with rare exception. These people are not there to think. They are there to stay in line - because stepping out of line is suicide. If they donāt piss off the 55% of the voters who voted them in office, theyād piss off their fellow party members. Voting out of line is dangerous - means you donāt get on the good committees and what not.
I swear sometimes that if you asked them all to call heads or tails, theyād see what the party wanted first. And then youād have Democrats calling tails and Republicans calling heads. Except one dude who will getting a talking to afterwards.

As if they actually need gasoline for anything! So itās hardly a bargain at any price.
Just gonna drop this here, too:
āThe answer is that all weather events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they occur is warmer and moister than it used to be.ā

Iāve gotten so used to this shit from congress that now when I read about a vote like this, all I can manage is a weary, Oh, for fuckās sakeā¦ So I guess the anti-scientific forces are winning.

What I donāt get is that a lot of these people grew up during the cold war when we regularly talked about the result of setting off all the nukes in the world - a nuclear winter. We know we can change the weather. We know we can destroy all life on the planet.

As long as the population of the earth keeps growing at its present rate all the global warming talk is a bunch of people blowing out a lot of hot air for no reason, sorry but true, face it - have a nice day.
There were people who pooh-poohed, or, dare I say it, ādeniedā, the risk of nuclear winter. Some of them did so for political reasons-- the idea, ( some would say "fantasy) of a limited nuclear war informed the strategy of deterrence, for better or for worse.
