A new GAO Report tells us that unlike private insurers government insurers are not planning for the risks of climate change.
  • Major private and federal insurers are both exposed to the effects of climate change over coming decades, but are responding differently. Many large private insurers are incorporating climate change into their annual risk management practices, and some are addressing it strategically by assessing its potential long-term industry-wide impacts. The two major federal insurance programs, however, have done little to develop comparable information.

This would seem to put some of my free market friends who continue to believe that global warming is a leftist hoax in something of a bind. Is climate change real or are government regulators wise and farsighted?

BTW, is that arrangement astronomically possible?
if the star were a white dwarf, maybe. no. wait. it isn't.

By the way, how do we know that what's going on isn't the sun beginning to go supernova instead of greenhouse gases causing the small rise in temps?

you mean minus the stuff that Berger stole?

When it comes to Iraq, the First Lady wants you to know that no one suffers more than she and the President.*

It must come the stress of all the funerals for fallen soldiers that she and W have attended.

It appears that we're back...

Something about power going out in Colorado.

Hope no one was actually forced to do work while we were away.

Can you imagine how apeshit people would have gone if -- in comparable circumstances -- HRC had said the same thing?

Fried Rice

I'm sure the President has full confidence in her.

Congress subpoenas Rice. (Han spree: it's msnbc, not a blog). Also, they've immunized Goodling, so she'll have to testify.

Prediction: future Presidents will be so gun shy to use force that the mess that clinton let grow in Afghanistan will be dwarfed by what we let go.

What's the matter? Did you use your Ty @ 50 sock so long that now it's a reminiscing sock?

While I encourage use of my marks, I do insist on brand consistancy. There are no spaces: Ty@50.
