Let me just spell out something about Pelosi’s cave on drilling.

    If you don’t know which one I mean, check out Erick’s post first. Up to speed? Excellent. Anyway, just for the record: this is merely a long-delayed, mildly good start. We’ll be expecting and getting quite a bit more out of it, so if you’re one of those Democrats who don’t like poor people being able to drive, I suggest that you not get too | Read More »

    Hi, Nancy! Do you *really* want to play chicken over energy policy?

    Remember that the more annoyingly obstructionist and anti-regulatory the GOP is in the House, the more we the GOP base love them for it (something that the Senate GOP’s already noted).
