I really don't get it. Cheney & Ken Lay concoct an energy plan in secret. The Rethugs cobble together a bill in secret. The 1700 page bill is published on Sat., Democratic objections steamrollered on Mon., & the bill railroaded through congress on Tues. Why is it that only a handful of people here seem to notice?
Meteor Blades posted 3 excellent pieces & each one got 30-50 posts IIRC. The latest Democractic primary foodfight usually sees 200-400 comments here. What's the deal? Is this stuff not interesting enough?
This legislation is completely f..ked. The price tag is in the $30-$100 billion range--taylored to payoff Shrub's major contributors. It commits us to a disasterous energy path. The only way to stop it is for people to lean on their senators to filibuster. The NYT seems to care more than we do.

Contact your senators before it too late.
