"Netanyahu is using the Republican Congress for a photo-op for his election campaign and the Republicans are using Bibi for their campaign against Obama... Unfortunately, the U.S. relationship will take the hit. It would be far wise for us to stay out of their politics and for them to stay out of ours."
Shepard Smith, quoting former Ambassador to Israel and political commentator Martin Indyk

#Krugman on how reality keeps disproving conservative theories, so conservatives just keep denying reality.
It’s now official: 2014 was the warmest year on record. You might expect this to be a politically important milestone. After all, climate change deniers have long used the blip of 1998 — an unusually hot year, mainly due to an upwelling of warm water in the Pacific — to claim that the planet has stopped warming. This claim involves a complete misunderstanding of how one goes about identifying underlying trends. (Hint: Don’t cherry-pick your observations.) But now even that bogus argument has collapsed. So will the deniers now concede that climate change is real?
Of course not. Evidence doesn’t matter for the “debate” over climate policy, where I put scare quotes around “debate” because, given the obvious irrelevance of logic and evidence, it’s not really a debate in any normal sense. And this situation is by no means unique. Indeed, at this point it’s hard to think of a major policy dispute where facts actually do matter; it’s unshakable dogma, across the board. And the real question is why.

Michelle Bachmann Takes Credit For Cheap Gas!
After Fox News blamed O'Bama for high gas prices, then saying O'Bama had nothing to do with lower gas prices, we now have the hilarity of Michelle Bachmann (R-Idiot) taking credit for low gas prices on the Twitters.
Of course, just as O'Bama wasn't responsible for previous high gas prices, no politician is responsible for our current lower gas prices. It's all supply/demand/Saudi Arabia flooding the market with oil. But, of course, Republican politicians are always good for a laugh anyway!
