Climate Stay-the-same

This week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told countries involved in negotiating a U.N.-brokered international climate change agreement that they should “proceed with caution” because of intransigent opposition to Obama’s efforts to significantly scale back U.S. carbon ­emissions.*
     “Whatever the president may say, whatever the rest of the world may negotiate, the people’s senate of the United States of Amer’ca will not give up our right to be the fart in the room,” McConnell rumbled. “I’m not shittin’ you.”**
