I Like Mike

After taking a look at the GOP candidates being offered, I have decided I like Former Govenor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas. His positions are closest to my own out of those running. He appears to be a true "Reagan Rupublican", a conservative running in a party where many have become RINOs (Republican In Name Only).

Take a minute and check out his website, ExploreHuckabee, and see how his views compare with your own.

What Happened?

I checked my blog this morning and found the template had been all screwed up. The profile container, links and other items in the right sidebar were all gone and the navigtion bar across the top of the blog was messed up. So I have switched to a different template and will be editing it back to where it was, I hope.

Will This Be the 2008 Campaign Cry?

Despite the fact that research on Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases is still ongoing, Democrat Presidential Candidate John Edwards is calling for caps on "greenhouse gas emissions." Read the article here.

If I sound like a skeptic on global warming, it is because I am. When I was in High School (mid 70s) the "cause de jour" was the coming ice age. We were told that a new ice age was coming and there was nothing that could be done to stop it. Then the shift started to global warming, only this time we are told that by massive restrictions on "greenhouse gas emissions" we can delay and/or stop it. Unless you follow the theory that says global warming is inevitable and will melt the polar ice caps and cause a massive increase in cloud cover (due to more moisture in the air), which will reflect the Sun's energy away from Earth and cause a new ice age.

Despite the claims of many, global warming is still a theory. But I feel it will become a focal point of the 2008 Presidential Campaign, a race that may be run on conflicting theorys of psuedo-science and used to deflect attention from real problems and possible solutions.

Warming to Hit DC

Former VP Al Gore is set to testify about "Global Warming" today before the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee. He is demanding special treatment (typical) but even after being granted waivers and exceptions to the rules, he is refusing to follow the special accords granted to him. Read more.

Regardless of when (or if) he submits his testimony, I think it will be a warm day inside the Senate EPW Committee.
