Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met with the chairs of six committees that might have some hand in developing the clean energy bill. The question at issue was whether the bill should be pushed back in favor of a short-term focus on finance reform, jobs, and the deficit. Though John Kerry argued vigorously that the clean energy is a jobs bill that won't grow the deficit , it looks like he lost out and there will be some kind of standalone jobs bill in the interim.  

John Kerry's daughter was arrested early Thursday morning in Hollywood on suspicion of DUI, reports TMZ. Alexandra Forbes Kerry, 36, a film producer and director was pulled over for a traffic stop, arrested, booked and released on $5,000 bail. She is due in Los Angeles Municipal Court on Dec. 10, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office Web site.  

The arts are an essential facet of our daily lives and form a vital component of the local economy. Recent state and federal grant awards to the whaling museum are a case in point. A recent front-page article in this paper (Oct. 31) announced the Massachusetts delegation's success in securing $1.5 million in federal funding for the Bourne Building, again engaging local construction services and creating jobs.  

The surest way for any Canadian politician to gain access to the halls of power in Washington is to arrive here selling something the Americans are buying. Right now, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is finding more doors open than closed on Capitol Hill and at the White House. With the U.S. Senate and the Obama administration aiming to pass long-awaited climate change legislation in early 2010, Wall's latest clean-energy pitch is drawing intense interest among the handful of decision makers responsible

President Barack Obama's nominee to head USAID , Rajiv Shah, "made the rounds" on Capitol Hill Thursday, which included a meeting with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair John Kerry (D-Mass.), Politco's Laura Rozen reports on her foreign policy blog .

An ongoing series dedicated to vigorously monitoring emerging threats to The Consensus that global warming is real, caused by humans, and must be addressed at all costs. Because without consensus, scientific conclusions would remain vulnerable to new data. While we were putting the finishing touches on our piece yesterday regarding Senator John Kerry's harmless hyperbole overstating increases in US Carbon emissions by a factor of 32, and Al Gore's innocuous exaggeration of the earth's interior temperatu

Maybe Al Gore can Photoshop something before December. It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria.

I proudly declare 2009 as the 'Year of the Skeptic,' the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard   -James Inhofe

 

For most of this year, we've heard repeatedly that President Barack Obama wanted Congress to tackle climate change prior to a Dec. 7 to 18 international summit on this topic in Copenhagen. Signing climate change legislation was one of his top domestic priorities and he succeeded in working with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to deliver a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year, albeit by a 219 to 212 margin. But in the U.S. Senate, the slogging continues over a gigantic health care refor

Nuclear power needs to be a core component of electricity generation if we are to meet our emission reduction targets.   -John Kerry
