Apparently, global warming is a more serious threat to humanity than global terrorism. From the Washington Times:
Senior House Republicans are complaining about Democrats’ plans to divert "scarce" intelligence funds to study global warming. The House next week will consider the Democrat-crafted Intelligence Authorization bill, which includes a provision directing an assessment of the effects that climate change has on national security.
I wonder what other resources they would propose we divert toward the study of global warming….
An education bill proposal that would make Al Gore’s movie and book required material from K1 through K12? Dept. of Agriculture to weigh in with studies on the dangers of cow flatulence? What exactly is the intelligence community supposed to do? Spy on it? Wiretap Al Gore’s phone line for possible communications to eco-terrorists living abroad?
Intelligence panel Chairman Silvestre Reyes, Texas Democrat, said the climate-change study is one of several shifts his party has made to intelligence policy. "We’re concerned that global warming might impact our ability to maintain national security," he told The Times, describing the idea as "cutting edge."
Remember, folks: This is the same House Intelligence Committee Chairman, chosen by Nancy Pelosi over Jane Harman, who did not know that al Qaeda is Sunni and not Shia. Let’s hope he at least knows the difference between water vapors and carbon dioxide.

A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
You know, I read this and thought that it just had to be a SNL parody, but nope. This is reality in a Democrat controlled Congress.
Unbelievable.
