| Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Energy Leader Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven’t risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and polls show that climate change doesn’t even make a list of Michigan voters’ top-ten concerns. Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) — recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee — made clear that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority. “Climate change is very real,” she confessed as she embraced cap and trade’s massive tax increase on Michigan industry — at the same time claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in manufacturing costs or energy prices. “Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.” And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I’m boating. |

| #3 That's not a sea monster in Lake Michigan, it's Saddam's submarine (Weekly World News told me so). |

| #2 And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I'm boating. Normally I would look at this and know for sure that it should have been highlighted . . . . |

| #1 And in other breaking stories: Donks joust with windmills! And in still another story, donks embrace a theory that the earth is flat and are going to tax us for causing the earth to be flat! As is said, ignorance can be fixed. Stupidity is forever. |
