Wouldn't it be nice if the GOP actually started acknowledging climate change? Well, will wonders never cease?. A Republican carbon tax. I know, it's hard to believe, but here it is, put forward by the Climate Leadership Council headed by Reagan-era luminaries George Shultz and James Baker, backed by Larry Summers, Christine Todd Whitman, and Janet Yellen. They don't call it a tax, of course, but a 'fee' or something. That's what it is, though.

How can the US can retain (regain?) its status as a first-world country, rather than continue what I see as its Third World Drift? Readers of my other blogs may be surprised by some of the opinions expressed here. Although I generally consider myself on the progressive left-- particularly on environmental issues-- on issues of crime and law and order I stand somewhere to the right of Benito Mussolini. I'm in favor of civilization. You'd be surprised how many people aren't.
I'm thinking of calling people like this 'Rational Republicans.' It's a whole new thing, Republicans who are actually willing to accept the primacy of science. Now if we could just get them to accept Darwinian evolution.
