One of the subjects I've raised in virtually all my interviews has been that of global warming. While opinion ranges as to how much humans have caused climate change, only one person I talked to didn't believe it at all, calling global warming "a scam". Barb Davis White is the one running against Keith Ellison in my Congressional District, and she's a delegate to the Republican National Convention. While she only speaks for herself and not the other delegates, I suspect her opinion is part of right-wing political correctness. It's PC for goppies to throw out the bathwater with the baby.
On the other end, Mpls City Council Member Robert Lilligren is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and he's been working on many environmental issues for years. I've excerpted their comments on this issue for tomorrow's KFAI news broadcast. Barb Davis White and Robert Lilligren (mp3, 3:23)
I'll have a podcast of all the DFL Family and Fun interviews in the near future. In the meantime, here's a picture from the Minnesota State Fair. Princess Kay of the Milky Way getting her head carved in butter:
