For two years, the Bush administration and leaders of congressional energy committee have called for new legislation to help expand the transmission system, but a major energy bill has yet to get through Congress.

Before I jump all over the evil RATS, what else was tacked to the energy bill? Knowing the way Congress operates, the bill probably included $10 million to study moose farts, $21 million for the construction of an ice cream museum, and a whopping $100 million for another highway and bridge to nowhere in West Virgina.

And you can be sure that the evil Enron advised VP Cheney in those secret meetings and planned to actually PROFIT (!!!) from any adding of transmission lines to the NE grid(s). How dare they?!

Could be, but this news should counter the attacks on President Bush, which will appear as sure as the sun rises in the east.

Of course, most of the lamestrem media will see fit to omit this from any of their "balanced" reports.

Have those Moose been eating cheese?

And even more important...whose sister was it that got bit by a moose?

but, West Virginia needs all those bridges (named after their benefactor, Sen. "sheets" BYRD)! And don't forget the community centers. i moved here from NC, and remember seeing Congressman Charlie Rose's name everywhere...your tax dollars at work...instant monuments!
We have nowhere to go, but we can get there! We have nothing to do, but we have somewhere to do it (even a million dollar outhouse in the Rockies!
Dammit, our kids can't read the Ten Commandments, but the g'umt will give them condoms, and midnight basketball !
