congressional follies

Now our appointed clowns are considering banning incandescent bulbs and requiring flourescents in an effort to save our environment and end energy independence. I predict this effort if done will have multitudenous unexpected consequences as does the growing ethanol fiasco. Speaking of which , have you checked grocery prices lately, up 5.2% in March. Hanburger at five dollars and chicken breasts at almost thee dollars a pound. Senator Shummer is calling for investigation of gas prices, this by a guy complicit with his colleagues, for devising regulations which have prevented a new refinery from being built since 1974 and preventing exploration for domestic oil. When the cosequences of irresponsable catering to the politically correct crowd become evident the best our genius legislators can do is point the finger elsewhere . As the Wizard of Oz shouted "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" ..Just let him mislead you.
