ill news

Continuing their War on America, the incoming Republican House leadership have announced they're going to abolish the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which accordingly held its last meeting yesterday. Stephanie Vallejo has the story here.

This is, obviously, both imbecilic and extraordinarily destructive to the national interest. The Republican reasoning, if such it can be called, appears to be that, since the Committee was created by Nancy Pelosi, they should abolish it to piss off both her and President Obama -- the fate of the nation, and indeed of the world, be damned.

It's like something out of South Park, isn't it?

Please don't go to bed. Over the next two years we need as many as possible people of sound mind harassing these destructive bastards and publicizing their iniquities. If you sleep for two years it may well be you'll have nothing to wake up to.

Jeez, I need a beer to calm me down. 'Scuse me a moment . . .
