Study: Slowdown In Warming Last Year Not Permanent

Not so fast, deniers.

in reference to:

"Climate researchers say cooler temperatures in North America last year do not mean global warming is easing. Their report comes just days before President Barack Obama goes to Copenhagen, Denmark, to speak at a United Nations conference on climate change. Rising temperatures over decades have prompted scientific concern, and the last decade has been the hottest in thousands of years, according to climate records. However, the warming eased a bit last year over North America, and groups seeking to deny climate change seized on that in an effort to challenge the idea of overall warming."

Montana Sen. Max Baucus nominated own mistress, Melodee Hanes, as U.S. Attorney

With incumbency comes privilege. Baucus has been in Congress since 1973. He's gotta go. But we'll have to wait to 2014. Visit www.termlim.com to see who we can get rid of in 2010.

"Sen. Max Baucus was having an extramarital affair with a woman he nominated to be U.S. attorney in Montana, the senator's spokesman admitted Friday night.The Montana Democrat nominated Melodee Hanes, who was Baucus' state office director, and three others to the post in March, spokesman Tyler Matsdorf said. The two began having an affair in the summer of 2008, Matsdorf said. He said the senator was separated from his wife when he gave Hanes' name to the White House. Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and his wife have since split. "Sen. Baucus is currently in a mature and happy relationship with Melodee Hanes. They are both divorced, and in no way was their relationship the cause of their respective divorces," said Matsdorf. Hanes later removed her name from nomination and took a job in the Justice Department."
