#1 May as well climb on the bandwagon, Jan. Maybe you can take the lead and soon have more to do with climate change than your original portfolio - whatever that was.

#3 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to... change the weather.

Good luck, we're all counting on you!

#4 She should have taken out a full page ad in the WaPo that said "Slash My Budget Before I Spend Again."

#5 Can the donks not get off this sh!t? It's like they have obsessive-compulsive disorder to the nth degree. There must be a lot of boodle involved or political power or both.

#8 Sounds like good federal jobs at good federal wages with no heavy lifting required.
And who might be on this "task force"? Some soon to be "retired" Democratic congressfolks perhaps?

#11 Might not be a bad idea. After all, whet on the glaciers have advanced to I-70 again the internal migrations will be absolute hell. No reason to put off getting out in front of that problem. ;)

#12 She's no moron. She sounds like a moron but that's because her job is to defend the indefensible. Just think how intellectually challenging it must be to come up with nonsense plans to waste all that time and money "identifying and assessing the impact that climate change could have". The genius in it is that it's designed to distract people from asking why she doesn't secure the border and deport illegal aliens. If it creates yet another layer of useless bureaucracy with jobs for liberal parasites, even better.

#13 IF she's looking for a headquarters for her task force, she could try the Minneapolis Metrodome. They will be looking for a new tennant and the we just had several more inches on top of the 21 we had from the last blizzard.

#18 I hope this is one place where Eric Cantor and the rest of the Repugs pull the financial plug before this can even get started. Cut her budget to the bone, and then some. Squeeze so hard blood runs from turnips.

Maybe the headquarters for Homeland Security should be relocated to Lake City, Colorado. Do a Google search - the town has a year-round population of less than 250, and it's inaccessible half the year except in 4-wheel drive vehicles. There are lots of old abandoned silver mines they can refurbish.

#19 According to the former Arizona governor, the task force would address specific questions, including:

How can we use "climate change" to legitimize our lack of effort in securing the border?

How can we use "climate change" as a reason to deploy more invasive screening at airports?

How can we use "climate change" to accuse conservatives of being extremists and target them for persecution?

#20 Can't wait until she decides she has to do something about childhood obesity. I'm sure there's a national security issue there she can find, too.

Yeah, then we'd have to come up with a Brangelina type nickname for her and Michelle...

#22 Mapolitano is sparking outrage along the Southern border with todays "the border is safer than ever" comment the day before the funeral of a slain border patrol agent. Compounded by another statement that he was slain by Mexican bandits (on US soil) when it is well known that the violence is tied to International drug cartels operating along the US border

#23 "She's no moron. She sounds like a moron but that's because her job is to defend the indefensible."

Sorry, EU, but she's a MORON. >:-(

#24 I'd call her a lot of things, a lot of them that would get me sinktrapped, but I wouldn't call her a moron. You want to be careful about underestimating people like this. She's doing the job that Obummer wants her to do. It's all part of a plan and she is being a team player in the execution of the plan. Maybe it doesn't make sense to someone who wishes she would do the right thing. But her job, as Obummer sees it, is not to enforce the law and keep us safe. It's the same thing with Eric Holder. Their jobs are to implement His policy whether it's consistent with the law or not.

For instance, you might think it's her job to secure the border. But that is not the case. Her job is to make a pretense of securing the border while allowing a steady flow of illegal immigrants and narcotics to cross the border. Then, if any reporter is impertinent enough to ask her why so many drugs and illegal immigrants still make it into this country, this new "climate change" task force gives her a way to change the subject. She'll just talk about the task force instead and the reporter's head will spin so fast he won't remember to press her about the aliens and the drugs. It's brilliant really.

Likewise, and here's a familiar example, you might think it's Eric Holder's job to prosecute miscreants who interfere with voters at the polls on election day. But that is not the case if said miscreants are working for ACORN or one of ACORN's affiliates because they are only trying to make sure The One gets elected. Holder's not stupid. He's doing the job he was appointed to do.

C'mon. Get with it, Barb. You see what's happening.

#25 True, EU, but that doesn't mean they
not morons. It means they're morons and traitors, too.

Just like their boss. :-(
