Get Energy Smart! NOW!

Fred Hiatt has amassed a collection of global warming denying and fossil-foolish columnists for the Washington Post. George F. Will; Charles Krauthammer; Robert J.

In a rather astounding, inappropriate for youth moment, House Minority Leader John Boehner chose to put his ASS on display. Anti-Science Syndrome, that is.
