"...Conceding that they can't find enough votes for the legislation, Senate Democrats on Thursday abandoned efforts to put together a comprehensive energy bill that would seek to curb greenhouse gas emissions, delivering a potentially fatal blow to a proposal the party has long touted and President Obama campaigned on..."
"...Republicans took delight in the dispute..."
Bowing to political reality, Senate Democrats drop broad energy bill
"...It would drop the two most aggressive and controversial provisions of the energy bill that passed the House last year: a market-based cap on greenhouse gas emissions and nationwide mandates for renewable electricity generation.
Gee. What a surprise.
Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that said "I'll keep my guns and my money and you can keep the change." I laughed when I saw a woman with a tight spaghetti strap top, waaaaaay too much muffin top and a baby on her hip climbing into the same adorned vehicle.
Twas obvious that she wasn't aware that change happens anyway.
