Green Daze

I don't know why the Greens should take heart at Final Energy Bill. After all, Bush is going to veto the damn thing, after which they'll bitch and moan, even though they should have known he would do just that after they dropped the guaranteed loans that had been included for new nuclear power plants, and especially after they ended the tax breaks for the oil companies contained in the last energy bill.

Bush would come closer to taking seriously a bill that called for mandating Sheryl Crow's suggestion to use one square of toilet paper per bathroom shit than he would this one, and just as close to signing it into law.

Of course, the Greens would never let the opportunity to pass real and meaningful legislation stand in the way of the opportunity to ratchet up the rhetoric and rake in more donated dollars-which is the "green" they really care most about anyway.
