Rain Rain Go Away
Will the recent flooding, mudslides, and horrific rain storms wake up Washington about the effects of global warming? Probably not. But when was the last time that the federal government closed down because of flooding? No VRE this morning, many roads completely closed. The Supreme Court will probably rule in favor of Big Business as usual. They're showing their conservative muscle with a couple of rulings today in regards to a Kansas death penalty case and a Vermont law restricting political contributions. With the latter of course reflecting the general tone of Washington lately which has seen politicians no longer clamoring to fix lobbying laws. Ugh, I hate our country's "leaders" (quotation marks borrowed liberally from Ozzie Guillen).
