- Michael Bloomberg has been planning his entrance into the race for the White House the past two years. Will he make a splash? A big one, if he does commit. I’m hoping he does; it’ll make things interesting.
- The era of zero accountability continues… “Vice President Dick Cheney has asserted his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government.” (via Swampland)
- It is not just Iraq that Bush is polling at 26 percent approval… “Bush scores record or near record lows on every major issue.” (via kos)
- The republicans take a short-term view on energy, blocking the democrats’ renewable energy bill. “Republican senators argued that the nearly $29 billion in additional taxes on major oil companies would have led to reduced production and higher gasoline prices.” (via kos)
- And the Senate has agreed on fuel efficiency terms, but “the White House opposes having Congress mandate a specific mileage number for auto fuel economy.” And we’ll see if democrat Dingell will finally turn the corner. (My money is on “no.”)
