Hot Air
Despite mounting evidence that the greenhouse gas buildup in the Earth's atmosphere is causing runaway changes to the climate – NASA this month declared 2010 the hottest year on record – several pollsters say the American public isn't listening. In a recent survey, Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Project on Climate Change, found that the number of people in the United States who believe in global warming fell from 71 percent to 56 percent between 2008 and 2010. Just 34 percent of the public thinks there's scientific agreement on climate change, down from 47 percent two years ago. (Politico.com, 12/31/10)
Once again we defer to Ronald Reagan who famously said: “the people usually get it right!”

Shame on Politico who anointed Gloria Allred one of 2010’s “Best Supporting Actors” for her despicable act of exposing Meg Whitman’s housekeeper who lied about being in this country legally.
Crackdown
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will seek a one-year salary freeze for state workers as part of an emergency financial plan he will lay out in his State of the State address on Wednesday, senior administration officials said. The move will signal the opening of what is expected to be a grueling fight between the new governor and the public-sector unions that have traditionally dominated the state’s political establishment.

RedStateVT has never been a fan of la familia Cuomo, but we are beginning to be impressed. It speaks volumes when a Democrat is prepared to crack down on unions. From overtime abuses, to pension scandals to snow removal slowdowns, union leaders have violated the public trust and must be held accountable.
They love it, they love it not….
Democrats, who in many cases looked on the law (Obamacare) as a rabid beast best avoided in the fall elections, are reversing course, gearing up for a coordinated all-out effort to preserve and defend it. (NYT, 1/2/11)
Dems just can’t seem to make up their minds, can they?
