If you've been waiting for a guest of the show to talk more quickly than Andrew Breitbart, then yesterday was your day.  Hugh interviewed Ann McElhinney, an absolute Irish dynamo who is the director and producer of "Not Evil, Just Wrong," along with Phelim McAleer.  Read the resume of this remarkable woman who uses journalistic film-making for actual good in the world.  Her film takes on the sacred cow of environmentalism as a purely virtuous movement, as she casts her lens upon the effects banning DDT decades ago.  Carbon is the new DDT, she says.  If you missed the broadcast, definitely go listen in the Hughniverse, because she throws out more good one-liners about the issue than anyone you've heard, and it's all done in her marvelous, Irish alto.

Yesterday Senator Inhofe, who has to have the intestinal fortitude of an Olympian in order to have battled Senator Ma'am all this time without losing his sense of humor, told us that Cap&Trade(&Tax) was as good as dead... from his mouth to the only ears above the big ones in the White House. 

Something else happened in the AGW/Climate Change world circus yesterday, and that was the UK Guardian breaking a story of some hacked emails which, purportedly, reveal scientists colluding to make things look worse than they are.  First off, I hate email hackers.  The whole thing sounded so fishy that I was inclined to ignore it and just hope the Senator from Oklahoma is right about the legislative picture...but then this morning I saw that John Hinderaker over at Powerline is digging into the correspondence, and with him going after it, there will be blood.  Or carbon, as you like.
