Alec Baldwin On The Global Catastrophe Of Global Cooling

I was in Cleveland these past few days for a quiet holiday period. I flew out of town on Sunday, April 8th. 32 degrees in Cleveland. On April 8th. People walking around in winter coats. This is undeniable proof that Man-Made Global Cooling is going to kill us if we don't immediately get rid of everyone who I disagree with politcally.

There is no spring in the East right now. No April flowers in April for the first time since 1877.
All around us are signs of global climate change. And this new Congress's response is to send Nancy Pelosi to Syria to speak for the Israeli Prime Minister. If you don't think there is a link between the weather and Iraq, you are wrong.

A Manhattan Project-esque assault on US energy policy is what is required now. Our country must lead the way in global energy strategies that will, somehow, convince countries like China not to spend decades to come burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels to grow their economies in the way we did. It is the most important work we can do now, on par with "fighting terrorism."

But this crowd will do nothing to begin that process. All they will do is ignore the meaning of the mid-term election and sprint in the direction of prolonging this war. Their goal, obviously, to pass this mess on to their unfortunate successors in '08.

Nancy has it all right. Time is up. And this is not a loss for Americans and their brave fighting men and women. This is Rumsfeld's War. And like McNamara before him, he will carry that burden on his shoulders long into our country's history. And if we have to put words in other leaders' mouths to force them into peace talks, then that's what we have to do, just like parents have to trick children into eating their peas.

A lot of talk about what the Dems should do now that they are at the wheel. Two people this Congress should not let up on. Rice, obviously. Can't let the opportunity slip away to persecute Rice for not trying to bring Syria and Isreali to the peace table. The other is Olmert.

This Congress needs to send a strong signal, and that is that obedience is important in politics. (Did Olmert really think that we could forgive him for not taking Nancy's lead in the talk for peace?) Olmert needs to go to the shed. For a very long time. Gotta get his mind, right. And when he comes out, ask him, "Are you going to obey Nancy? Are you going to obey your betters? Or aren't you?"

Thank God for Nancy.
