Hours and hours of hearings finally led to a legislative breakthrough in December: the passage out of the committee of the first bill that would put carbon caps on the U.S. economy. Co-sponsored by the Republican Sen. John Warner and the Independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the America's Climate Security Act would cap U.S. carbon emissions at 15% below 2005 levels by 2020, with a 70% cut projected for 2050. If enacted, those carbon caps would all but force U.S. businesses to invest in cleaner technology and greater energy efficiency, and would help the country take a leadership role...
...killer is (1) gloriously nuts and (2) convinced he is wreaking divine vengeance on his victims. He's meant to be pitied as much as reviled. In Unfaceable the killer - revealed fairly early in the proceedings, so I'm not spoiling much - is a young man (played by Joseph Cross) bereft over his father's suicide, and driven to punish those he believes responsible.

...used to serve in the Mississippi House of Representatives. If your friend Senator Hillary Clinton wins the presidential election, will you join her Cabinet? -Joseph Saucedo, SeattleI would not re-enter politics under any circumstances. I asked Hillary at a fund raiser in front of a thousand people if I could be appointed as the U.S. ambassador to France, so I could live in Paris. She said no. That is the only job I want, so I am out of luck...
...message. In December Congress passed an energy bill that requires automakers, for the first time in decades, to boost the gas mileage of the cars they sell and mandates increased use of biofuels. Just as importantly, the legislation calling for carbon-emission caps - co-sponsored by the independent Senator Joseph Lieberman and the Republican Senator John Warner - passed the first hurdle to becoming law. Bush has always opposed mandatory carbon caps and could veto the bill. But with climate change becoming a bigger issue in this year's presidential and congressional elections, even Bush might find it hard...
