I have a post up about the terrible energy bill currently before Congress on The Hill’s Congress Blog. The teaser:
The Energy Bill currently under consideration in Congress is being widely touted as a compromise, because it includes some provision for drilling. The implication is that House Democrats, bombarded with complaints from their constituents over high energy prices this summer, have bowed to the inevitable and reached out to their Republican opponents to agree on a new dawn for drilling in the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth. The bill is simply a rehash of old measures aimed at making affordable energy more expensive, fronted by a bait-and-switch on drilling.
Much more detail over there.

What would happen if the American people kept the oil that is drilled in America for Americans? What if we as a nation started paying attention to what the mega rich oil companies are doing with all our oil? What if we said stop sending it to other countries so you can profit? It 's ours and we need it. If there is to much to keep in reserve, then sell it. Any sensable housewife knows this equation. Keep what you have to care for your own people first.
