Wild bears, and hot air, in Jackson

Steve Lonegan's current meal ticket, a.k.a. Americans For Prosperity (AFP), sponsored a "tea party" in Jackson Township featuring another wingnut dressed in costume going around making a fool of himself to protest recent "cap and trade" legislation and promote the notion that global warming is nothing more than a vast left-wing conspiracy to enslave Americans.

I really don't know much about global warming, but looking at the crowd and listening to the speakers I'd bet the combination of verbal and digestive flatulence emanating from the event did more to heat up the atmosphere than all the dairy cows in New Jersey.
