Very Nice Post, Mark
Nice to see you join the fray here.
Your points were well taken.

Riiiight.....
Just ask Enron and Bush and Cheney what their "energy policy" entailed and see if they're giving any of it to Congress.
There ARE no checks and balances with this new administration.

All of their appointees lately look like an Iran Contra re-hab.
