From SDA:
A lone, honest Liberal crawls out of the woodwork...
The Liberal Party’s Green Shift announced on June 19th marked the most aggressive anti-poverty program in 40 years. The ‘shift’ will transfer wealth from rich to poor, from the oil patch to the rest of the country, and from the coffers of big business to the pockets of low-income Canadians. [...] I invite and encourage everyone to visit thegreenshift.ca to see how this comprehensive plan will benefit low-income Canadians. I will continue to work collaboratively with my Liberal colleagues towards a fairer, richer, greener Canada.
Yes, it's all about the green. Meanwhile, US delays regulation of greenhouse gases. In its report, the NYT calls CO2 "air pollution." It's also called "air." We'd all be kaput without CO2: all plants would die.

Related: Is man causing global cooling? From Icecap:
It was warm from 1850 to 1940, too, but in 1940 the planet cooled for 30 years. However, this cooling can’t happen again, according to the Hadley Centre. How does it know? Because its computers tell it so - the same computers that couldn’t predict the recent 10 years of non-warming. But why isn’t the planet warming now? After all, humans are “driving” the climate, aren’t we? Well, not quite. As the Hadley Centre tells us “The recent slight slowing of the warming is due to a shift towards more-frequent La Nina conditions in the Pacific since 1998. These bring cool water up from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, cooling global temperatures.” (incidentally, “slight slowing of the warming” is an unsual way of describing “no warming").
Re the wonderful Tony Snow, Michelle has a video of him playing with his band. Many memories of Tony Snow at NRO.

We linked on the UN and Zimbabwe yesterday. Norm has a different view - but he is wrong. If the UN had the power to intervene inside nations, nobody would join it.
Have we already crossed the line with taxes? Coyote. My preference? Flat tax of 13% on all income, no deductions and everybody pays. Dues, to belong to Club America.
