Here is a suggestion: If we demand psychological evaluations from astronauts, military officers, pilots and others, why not make a psychological evaluation a part of the process of running for office?

Because our Constitution allows one to vote for any old idiot as long as they are old enough.

As I wrote earlier (and put up in a Page), the US has been trying, and to a limited degree succeeding, in getting a couple of very important goals in those UNFCCC meetings. Especially about a new level of international transparency wrt spending on adaptation and mitigation funds.

Since the Kyoto Accord appears unlikely to go forward, the second track of negotiations, so called “LCA” for Long Term Cooperative agreement, in which the US participates, has been where the action has been moving.

Inhofe simply wants no international agreements. Period. On anything.
