I'm still lookig for the video, but NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams admitted during his opening statement the other day that (paraphrasing), no matter how much we thing we run things, along comes mother nature to prove that she's still in charge, referring to the Icelandic volcanic eruption.
I haven't found the video yet, but his blog essentially says the same thing: "Just as we start thinking we're masters of the skies ... something like a volcano comes along."

Why I Didn't Vote For Mark Kirk In The Primary
From the Sun Times: Kirk retreats on repeal of health-care bill.
A Giannoulias spokeswoman pretty much sums it up: "It reveals that Congressman Mark Kirk is more interested in political calculations for his own personal gain[.]"
I had come around to giving him a pass on supporting Cap-and-Trade, hoping that he had seen the error of his ways and was now, more or less, going to take more conservative positions.
Much as I don't want Giannoulias in the US Senate, it might be worth it to keep Kirk out.

Earth Day Made A Difference!
OK.
I'm a big man. I can admit when I'm wrong.
I usually deride Earth Day as stupid, meaningless, & hypocritical. An hour when liberals (in theory) turn off the lights and TVs, and stop using their iPhones in order to Save The Planet(tm). And then immediately start doing all those earth-killing things as soon as the hour is up.
Well, this year, it appears that I was wrong about Earth Day.
According to the National Snow And Ice Data Center, arctic ice levels are hitting "normal" levels for the first time since 2001.
Thank you Earth Day.
