...there's a mayor of that second Hollywood, it's the actor Ed Begley Jr., who's been evangelizing the environment since the 1970s, back when we were more worried about an ice age than global warming.

Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has unveiled several big policy proposals, while sliding in some polls.
