AZ moves to outlaw Global Warming/Climate Change Legislation…
As the taxman cometh, and cometh, and cometh, I am THANKING GAWD yet again, that we left NYC to move to AZ. This is like an OPEN FOR BUSINESS sign to anyone who wants to make anything in America. Come to AZ and build…
From DailyTech (thanks to a commenter at HA!!):
…Arizona is now close to becoming the first state to outlaw climate change legislation. The state Senate voted Monday, 19-10 to approve a bill banning the Department of Environmental Quality from enacting or enforcing measures with language pertaining to climate change. The bill is now awaiting House approval.
The bill will likely pass and be signed into law thanks to a switch in power. Formerly, Janet Napolitano (D) was governor of the state, but she left to join Barack Obama’s Cabinet. Napolitano was replaced by Jan Brewer (R), who has not indicated a strong desire to support AGW theorists.
If Senate Bill 1147 passes it will block rules passed by the DEQ that set harsher emission standards. The proposed increases were hastily pushed through by the former governor, despite complaints from industry leaders. It would also end work on “cap and trade” carbon legislation, which has been opposed by the utility industry. Such a scheme could help to raise power prices for the state’s citizens significantly.
A passage could also give the state means to challenge the federal government in court over the proposed Waxman-Markey bill, which would put over $1,600 in yearly costs on American citizens to cut carbon emissions. The legislation, which has also received criticism for potentially hurting farmers, is currently making its way through a Democrat controlled House and Senate, awaiting Barack Obama’s approval.
Tim Bishop D-NY Town Hall, Protest
Via RedState, I have a particular interest in Bishop since he is my mom’s Critter and he routinely votes the opposite of how his constituents would like him to:
Despite being totally slammed by constituents Bishop proudly admits the Cap and Trade intent. Watch the interaction that takes place at about 3 min 50 sec into the video on cap and trade.
TGIF!!! Call Congress!!!!
The number for the House switchboard – which can transfer you to the offices of your CongressCritter – is (202) 225-3121.
You need to use “HR 2454 ACES ACT” when speaking with their offices.
Schoolyard Brawl between Dems: Obey and Waters in yelling match on floor – Waters D-CA shoved Obey D-WI? Pulled apart by fellow members….
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wisc.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a late afternoon shouting match on the House floor after Obey reportedly rebuffed Waters on a $1 million earmark request, aides and witnesses said.
Witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared that Waters pushed or shoved Obey.
The pair were seen shouting at each other and had to be separated by members — who were gathered on the floor casting final votes before heading off to a party at the White House.
Waters, according a Democratic staffer familiar with the situation, approached Obey to ask him to fund one of her longstanding earmarks, the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.
Obey — who irked Waters a few weeks back by banning “Monuments to me” funding projects named after the politicians that earmark them — told her no, emphatically enough to be heard across the chamber.
“I’m not going to approve that earmark!” Obey shouted.
The two veteran Democrats — each pugnacious and 71 years old — began shouting, with the L.A. area-Congresswoman following Obey around the chamber, reportedly suggesting he channel the vocational money through a local school district.
At some point, they collided, witnesses say, with one Obey ally claiming the lean Waters “tried to shove” the stout Obey.
Update: Fox reports AP and LAT indicate MJ has died: Michael Jackson rushed to hospital…
Update: Shep on FOX reports LAT and AP indicating MJ, 50, died at 3:15pm.
Sounds as though he may have passed away, everyone is breaking in to look at hospital and Greta was using past tense and switched to present now, so I suspect that may be the case…RIP, a troubled person with a lot of talent..

BTM: What Battlestar Galactica Taught Me About Healthcare “Reform”…
New Report from the Congressional Budget Office:
* Enacting this proposal would result in a net increase in federal budget deficits of about $1.0 trillion
* According to the CBO, this legislation will leave at least 36 million Americans uninsured
* It will force at least 23 million Americans to give up the health coverage they have.
* There would be no change from current law regarding Medicaid or the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

http://www.downsizedc.org/etp/campaig…From DownsizeDC.org:
The government already pays for nearly half of all health care. This means we’re half-socialized already.Starting with depression era wage and price controls, and continuing with government tax policies, the politicians have made Americans dependent on their jobs to get health insurance.
State government policies have made insurance too expensive by piling on special interest mandates dictating specific types of coverage.
Medicare and Medicaid have fixed the prices we pay for health care, causing the extraordinary paradox of both price inflation and shortages in areas like primary care.
