Highway Bribery

The Republicans in Congress propose to handle the gas price crisis by sending every taxpayer a check for $100, ostensibly to cover the increased cost of gas. The proposed legislation includes a rider to allow drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In other words, they are trying to bribe the American people into accepting the destruction of the environment with a Ben Franklin. Yet they still have no plan at all to deal with global warming (except to look for more oil to burn, which, oddly enough, contributes to global warming).

Every spring we wander around the yard and turn over the soil and mulch and stuff; it makes the soil healthier. Congress could use with a good turnover too. Might make things grow better.
