The climate-change bill now slogging its way through Congress is 1,201 pages long — about as long, ironically, as "Gone with the Wind."

 Ironically, because in the debate, wind is in great abundance.

 Paraphrasing Mark Twain — everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it — except God and Congress.

 The bill would mandate a 17 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050, which replaces smoke in the air with pie in the sky.

 Proponents might point out that as temperatures rise, our nation will get uglier and uglier. Higher temperatures means more people in short pants who should never be in short pants.
