Thomas Friedman is shrill.

Every time I listen to Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota talk about how climate change is some fraud perpetrated by scientists trying to gin up money for research, I’m always reminded of one of my favorite movie lines that Jack Nicholson delivers to his needy neighbor who knocks on his door in the film "As Good As It Gets." "Where do they teach you to talk like this?" asks Nicholson. "Sell crazy someplace else. We’re all stocked up here."

Thanks Mr. Perry and Mrs. Bachmann, but we really are all stocked up on crazy right now...
