DAMNED GLOBAL WARMING! – AT 7:58 P.M. ET:  Reader Michael Smith alerts us to this weather report from Reuters:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The United States experienced its coldest winter in nine years in December as snow storms swept across the country, private weather forecaster Planalytics said on Monday.

Every region in the United States trended colder than normal, Planalytics said, which helped boost energy prices as consumers nationwide turned up their heating.

"Following the warmest November since 2001, the month of December 2009 ended the coldest since 2000," Planalytics said on Monday.

COMMENT:  White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said, about the time of Obama's inauguration, that you should never waste a crisis.  He was referring to the financial crisis, and the Obamans used it as a springboard for all kinds of legislation that the people of America never asked for or favored. 

Okay, let's follow Rahm's advice.  Let's take the extraordinary weather we're experiencing and use it as a springboard to demand a full inquiry, by the best and most trusted scientific panels, into the subject of global warming.  Let us determine how much "science" there is in the global warming issue, and how much "political science." 

Oh, by the way, we learned today that former Secretary of State Condi Rice is on the board of a company that stands to profit from cap and trade legislation, which is being pushed by the Democrats in response to "global warming."  Just thought you'd like to have that.  Follow the money and you may learn more about "global warming" than the Al Gore battalions would like you to know.
