Judging by your slightly petulant response, it sounds like you heard Mark "Bag-itch" is out on his ass.


Hee hee! Eat that crow Bob!

The GOP goes against anything Obama is for and it doesn't matter what it is, no news there. And besides, the Chinese government will do whatever they want irregardless of what we want.

Indeed Rob, if they were serious they would do something about poisoning the people of Beijing instead of letting all those people suffer if they want to work.
Wow, that is starting to sound all too familiar....

What in the world are you babbling about Was?

Eat crow because your moocher red state won an easy one that everyone and his brother called a year or more ago? Isn't it just a little bit early for cabin fever to be setting in bro?

$1884 per capita.

That's about $7500 a year of free money for a family of four.

Sweet deal these Alaskans have!

I'd agree to cut emissions when China actually cuts theirs. I think the treaty in question says that's 2030 or so?

Bank on Chinas' word?

I forget what the dates are, but it is five years past the date we're supposed to cut ours. I don't see how they're gonna do that because by then we will have no industry and be too poor to own cars, and thence no emissions , and they will have it all.

We shall see.

We have no need to cut anything, and China hasn't agreed to do much of anything. So why is this a news item?
