President Bush opposes the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the U.S. administration questions the certainty of scientists' views that "greenhouse gases" such as carbon dioxide are causing temperatures to rise.

Kudos to this country's mayors for being smarter than its president - although saying that any given person is smarter than Shrub is a dubious compliment at best, ya know? The only problem with news like this is that it gets me thinking about our "leader" and then I get mad all over again wondering just how in the hell this retarded cowboy got elected to a second term in the first place. These two Excite polls from the last week don't really help my peace of mind either. Grr.
