"All Republicans want just one thing, and that is to debate this bill ... When they pull the bill, I don't want them to say that Republicans had anything to do with it."

-- James Inhofe (R-Okla.) on the Senate floor Thursday, after Republican leadership spent nearly four days delaying debate of the Climate Security Act

The only person dumber than Inhofe

is Kit Bond of Missouri. Which explains why I left my native state many years ago. But on the other hand, Inhofe does justify how we Missourians used to look down our noses at the Sooners with jokes like, "What do you call a rubber hose? An Oklahoma credit card." "What do you call mud flaps? Oklahoma super chargers."

Yeah, Inhofe does feed old prejudices.

Oh, brother...

Christopher Kit "We need to do more studies/and the science just isn't in" Bond. What a farging tool he has become. Too bad, he wasn't such a bad gov. I guess when you get to DC, you automatically whore-up on the lobbyists. Having said that, it seems both parties are more concerned with getting and retaining power than with representing the most noble and pressing NEEDS of their constituents. I suppose that's one my greatest fears: that when/if the Dems take control of the gov't, it will be, relatively speaking, more of the same spineless Dem governance. Oh, well.

The mellotron is your friend.
