Elephant In Exile

Nothing to See Here!

All Quiet This Week in DC
Alls quiet for Elephant this week on Capitol Hill and the Republican majority continues to flail about in its fifth attempt to pass an energy bill. Nothing I'm tracking is up for debate so I can kick back and work on other projects. But don't worry, Frist, Bush, Delay will probably soon be cooking up some really delicious proposals to satisfy the social conservatives. After all, absent an agenda and mired in an ill concieved war (Iraq), it's always best to wave the 'family' flag and blame everything on the gays.

So, let's look to the rest of America (where people have real jobs) to see what's going on.
