The Kyoto Protocol talks are ending this weekend and the White House has once again managed to make a spectacle of itself, and a mockery of the office.
Why is it that our strategy for everything is go in and act like a bully, refuse to cooperate, and manipulate the situation so that everyone else involved has to kiss our ass in the end? It is just embarrassing.
Apparently George W. Bush feels like any binding agreement to reduce greenhouse emissions in the future would not be a wise choice for our economy. What the hell? Didn't he mean to say that he saw no direct positive affect on his wallet, so it can't be good?
No one can deny that this has been a record setting year for hurricanes, and whether or not you are on board with the idea of global warming you have to admit that things are changing in the climate arena.
According to Bush, we can't afford to be proactive, but we can afford to foot the bill for such catastrophic weather events as Hurricane Katrina?

Thank God for the voice of diplomacy, Bill Clinton (still my president).
