Deutsche Welle: Congressional Republicans are in tune with their constituents. A new Pew poll found that Republicans have a highly favorable view of the Department of Defense, the CIA and NASA. They are much less fond of certain other governmental bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). While over 60 percent of Republicans say they view the Pentagon, the CIA and NASA favorably, just 37 say that about the EPA. Only the tax collection agency IRS is held in lower esteem by Republicans.

"We have expanded our economy while protecting our environment," said Perry, who is openly exploring a second White House run...

They may as well toss in a 100 percent likelihood of jokes from American conservative media about how snow invalidates the idea of global warming. Cue headlines, such as these early hits from the Drudge Report, about the "Snowiest decade on record," with a link to the conservative website Climate Depot. Or this FLASHBACK NYT: The end of snow? headline, which points with...
