Alaska is Melting! So proclaimed the Drudge headline.

This is news?

I'd expect Alaska to thaw out, after all it is summer.

The purveyors of these dire warnings are Senators Clinton and McCain. When 2 United States Senators who have no idea what they are talking about make end-of-the-world type proclamations, I started shaking in my Mukluk boots.

These United States Senators seem to spend most of their time on Sunday Morning news shows. What do they know about the price of gas? Nothing.

Hillary went so far as to say that some of the fishes had little bumps. My goodness, Slick must have been right when he told us, "She's the smartest woman in the world."

It has been a warm summer and oil prices are soaring. The obvious conclusion is that global warming is real and it is all George Bush's fault.

Any time one of the prima donnas in the worlds most dysfunctional body speaks up, the chances for error are enormous. A hot summer is evidence of global warming. A cool summer is evidence of global warming. Teddy Kennedy imbibing is evidence of global warming.

And it is always the fault of those rascally republicans.

Yawn.

The eco-freaks are in need of new scare tactics.
