Investors Business Daily explodes the Oil Tax, the moronic ethanol policy (another winner for Bush), and the fact that we will now be subsidizing all the inefficient "alternative" energy sources. The result? $6 per gallon gasoline.

"Gas consumers can expect to pay between $3.16 and $3.79 a gallon for gas in 2008" due to the Senate energy bill, a Heritage Foundation analysis found. "By 2016, all states can expect gas prices in excess of $6 . . . consumers would spend an average of $1,445 more per year on gasoline in 2016 than in 2008."

Those billions won't come out of the pockets of any cigar-chomping oil men. They'll come out of the oil companies' huge investments in drilling for and refining new supplies of oil and natural gas. Yes, it will hurt development of alternative energies, too.

As well as all those new taxes, gas prices would go up because of the bill's higher ethanol content requirements.

Alternatives to fossil fuels are worth developing for the long term, but what's truly "childish" is the wide-eyed belief on the part of Grassley and others in ethanol as a feasible alternative fuel.

Read the whole thing HERE I look at it as another reason to be rid of the faux Republicans in Congress, fucking RINOs all..

IF YOUR NAME AIN'T KENNEDY THEY AIN'T LISTENING

Immigration Bill: it's just another Republican sell out. Without RINO support it would die, with it we have a law that will sink us for sure. Good stuff all over the blogosphere. You can contact our useless Republican Reps by using a search tool HERE for addresses and so on, but those traitors won't listen to anyone anywhere whose name ain't Kennedy. Bill Quick at Daily Pundit has a more or less comprehensive look, good reading for those of you who don't mind puking before breakfast. I am assuming that all readers of this blog know the ins and outs of the Bill and are consumed with near hate for the Republican Party for selling all of us out one final time before we kill it. One final superfluous observation: MSM persists in calling opposition to the current odorous legislation IMMIGRATION in order to brand us as racists and so forth without actually saying so. Never do you see ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION; but you already knew all that.
