Wouldn't it be wonderful if the senators who sat in on the grilling of the oil execs were forced to testify before a group of private, knowledgeable, citizens and answer these and similar questions on prime time TV? Congress IS the problem and Congress has the power to solve it, but lacks the political courage to do so. My suggestion: Throw the bums out of office in November.

I couldn't agree more. I have been thinking this exact scenario for a long time now.

I am more than willing to take a few weeks off, march on DC, and put these tyrants in the witness chair to answer these and many more questions.
