Is there anything Shawn Macomber can't do?
Shawn Macomber has a hilariously insightful article, at NRO, on the Al Sharpton protests that happened yesterday in NYC. The opening sentence is "The Reverend Al Sharpton crept in and out of the designated protest area at One Police Plaza like the blob in a lava lamp." I mean, really.
Shawn also has a MUST-READ review of the "The Deniers" by Lawrence Solomon, a book about those who dare question the accepted thinking on global warming, in the Washington Times. A snippet:
Likewise, Mr. Solomon's own position as founder and executive director of the well-regarded international environmental group Energy Probe makes it considerably more difficult for opponents to shellac him as a right-wing reactionary moonlighting as an oil company stooge — though, of course, no slander has been proven entirely off limits for demagogues who believe they are the Jack Bauers incarnate in a special environmental doomsday season of 24. ("There's no time for debate, Chloe, we've got to regulate now!") Witness "60 Minutes" reporter Scott Pelly's answer when queried as to why his reports featured no global warming skeptics: "If I do an interview with Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?"Posted by Karol at May 8, 2008 11:30 AM | TrackBack
