...amendments to the bill, all targeting spending provisions he thinks are pork. Most famous for his attacks last year on the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere" - which would have spent more than $200 million to connect two virtually uninhabited areas in Alaska - Coburn now has his eye on a bunch of projects inserted in this bill by two of the most experienced and powerful men on Capitol Hill, Mississippi Republican Senators Thad Cochran and Trent Lott. And while Lott and Cochran won a vote last week to keep in the bill $700 million for a railroad in Mississippi damaged...
...think seriously about an actual energy policy. Noting the generally derisive response to this plan, the New York Times got to quote Rush Limbaugh on the front page: "What kind of insult is this?" he asked.

Fadel Gheit, senior energy analyst with Oppenheimer & Co., defends Exxon Mobil while blasting politicians and consumers. "We're a bunch of crybabies. They pay the equivalent of $6 a gallon for gas in Germany," he says. But with elections looming and consumers fuming, the Republicans can't ignore what every TV news show is headlining the Pain at the Pump. The cost of gas may be high now, but for the Republicans by November, it could...
...five blades, but make sure that you don’t spend too much time talking about your own interests. For example, girls hate it when guys start talking about professional sports because they don’t understand how anyone could be so devoted to a bunch of men who we essentially can only watch on TV. Try talking about something much more meaningful that girls are interested in, like whether or not the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will last...
