SHE FEELS, SHE KNOWS, THE SPIRIT IS WITH HER - AT 10:40 P.M. ET:  One thing that should always inspire us is the superhuman abilities of some of our public servants.  I'm moved.  I'm sure you will be, too:

Detroit, Mich. - Michigan just experienced its coldest July on record; global temperatures haven't risen in more than a decade; Great Lakes water levels have resumed their 30-year cyclical rise (contrary to a decade of media scare stories that they were drying up due to global warming), and polls show that climate change doesn't even make a list of Michigan voters' top-ten concerns.

Yet in an interview with the Detroit News Monday, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) - recently appointed to the Senate Energy Committee - made clear that fighting the climate crisis is her top priority.

"Climate change is very real," she confessed as she embraced cap and trade's massive tax increase on Michigan industry - at the same time claiming, against all the evidence, that it would not lead to an increase in manufacturing costs or energy prices. "Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."

COMMENT:  I'll sleep better tonight knowing that Senator Debbie is in the air, her awesome senses picking up all the celestial dangers that threaten us.

Now if she can only develop a sense of how Detroit can sell cars.  Can you feel those customers, Debbie?  Can you sense their needs?  Are you with them on their test drives?  Feel those new electric cars, Debbie.  Feel them.  Hallelujah!
