The New York Times notes America's singular state of denial, inaction and downright arrogance about climate change awareness and effort.

The political and environmental implications of building a pipeline from Canada's ruined arboreal forests to the Gulf of Mexico,
principally to serve the world market,
is reaching a decision-point and forcing Pres. Obama to choose among priorities and constituencies.
This blog has been reviewing
the issue for some time, and

Democratic "Super-PAC" goes after Lungren's anti-middle class record
by Brian Leubitz
House Majority PAC isn't necessarily a household name, but as one of the so-called "Super PACs" it will play a big role in the 2012 elections. And in one of their first major ad buys, they are looking at our very own CA-03. The new district is decidedly different than Lungren's old district, and Ami Bera continues to do well in the fundraising race.
Both Bera and Lungren reported large fundraising hauls in campaign finance filings due over the weekend. Lungren reported raising $596,228, closing the period that ended Sept. 30 with $421,888 in the bank. Bera raised $860,159, leaving him with $707,760 cash on hand. The Elk Grove doctor also reported about $250,000 in campaign debt, mostly from personal loans from 2010 his campaign has said he does not intend to get back. (SacBee)
Bera underperformed slightly in 2010 for the California race.

both parts of the big bumper-sticker promise that helped him win the Governorship.
