H.L. Mencken quote

 H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and registered Democrat.
Mencken wrote the editorial below while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun:

As democracy is perfected, the office of the
President represents, more and more closely,
the inner soul of the people. On some great
and glorious day, the plain folks of the land
will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be occupied by a downright
fool and complete narcissistic moron.
                                 -H.L.  Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
So it was written, and so it has come to pass...

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
