The Senate Republicans have managed to defeat the renewal of the critical solar energy credits six times now.
President Bush's latest scheme to get Saudi Arabia to pump more oil toward an addicted nation has been put into motion and Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times doesn't mince words when he tells us in his column Sunday that it is hard for him:
"to find the words to express what a massive, fraudulent, pathetic excuse for an energy policy this is. But it gets better. The president actually had the gall to set a deadline for this drug deal."
That deadline is Independence day. A day that many Americans watch parades and set fireworks off in the darken hours celebrating freedom from oppression.

The addict-in-chief isn't the only Republican addicted to oil. Read Charles Langley's December 2007 blog. Pete Domenici at that writing was the top recipient of dollars from oil and gas companies, electric utilities, and natural gas transmission and distribution corporations. Now, according to www.opensecret.org, Domenici has received over $168,000 for campaign finance cycle 2008 from the oil and gas industry alone.
