Biden’s out of the bag (no more "C-2" for him!), but we’ve still got a few days until McCain gives up his goods. Meanwhile, we’ve got Hill and Bill speaking at the Democratic Convention this week pretending that they like Obama.
Unified fronts are rare in the world of politics. Dems and Repubs are risking a government shutdown on Oct. 1, which they’re calling "Energy Freedom Day." If the Dems try to attach the current ban on offshore drilling to spending bills (so that the ban is extended), the Repubs will oppose it–and shut down the entire government. At least the government would be conserving energy.
No unified fronts on the international scene either. President Bush is working on a deal with India that would establish a cooperative relationship in the research and development of nuclear power. Without nuclear power, India is stuck in the stone age of coal power. Too bad Congress and India can’t agree on anything.
We’d like to stone coal power, but looks like we can’t get rid of it either. Coal companies are going all out at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to lobby for subsidies that would promote the reduction of coal’s carbon footprint. Clean coal? The idea makes us feel all ashy.

Michelle looked poised and comfortable delivering that masterpiece, but did anyone see Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer last night? I LOVE THIS MAN! He’s a cattle rancher with zero public service experience who became governor. He needs to travel around being Barack’s hype man…seriously. He could be like DJ Clue for the DNC. He’s basically a Beanstockr in a bolero tie who got a HUGE rise out of Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama.
