PLANET GORE. I know that to be considered a respectable independent thinker, and not a partisan hack, I'm supposed to take conservatives seriously. And I try, really I do. But then sometimes they go and do something so ridiculous that makes it just too hard for me.
Case in point: National Review has started a special blog called "Planet Gore" (how clever!) devoted entirely to stopping any reasonable movement to prevent climate change. Sample post title: "The Admirable Crichton." Yes, they are seriously touting the novelist Michael Crichton as a global warming expert. This struck me as hilarious until I remembered that President Bush does too.
