Sunspot Patriots

Here in Wisconsin, home of that great American Fighting Bob La Follette, Ron Johnson and Russ Feingold are running for US Senate.

Johnson thinks sunspots cause global warming because:
"I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change," Johnson said. "It's not proven by any stretch of the imagination."

Johnson, in an interview last month, described believers in manmade causes of climate change as "crazy" and the theory as "lunacy."

He ought to know from science because he is, after all, a manufacturer and accountant.

Feingold, on the other hand, was the only Senator not to be bullyragged into voting for the Patriot Act and he tried to stop the amnesty for Telecoms during the Bush-era illegal wiretapping of whoever they felt like.  Because, one assumes, he is lawyer enough to see the unnecessary expansion of the surveillance state and protecting criminal behavior for what they are: bad, Unamerican policies..

So the choice is clear: vote for sunspots or vote for a patriot.
