Let's see what Congress did last week.


This week, the House passed the Captive Primate Safety Act, which "Amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to add nonhuman primates (i.e., monkeys, great apes, lemurs, etc...) to the definition of 'prohibited wildlife species' for purposes of the prohibition against the sale or purchase of such species in interstate or foreign commerce."

O joy. Legislation about the sale of monkeys across state lines. Just what we needed. You're right of course. Congress should be working on solutions to these problems. We need more/newer refineries and more sources of oil. The argument that ANWAR won't provide oil for 10 years, or that off shore drilling isn't a permanent fix is bunk. It make take a while for the oil from ANWAR to start showing up, but we need long term solutions to this problem. Off shore drilling may not be the answer, but it might help with the transition to a new solution for energy.

Congress is like the guy who goes to the fridge, doesn't like what he sees, but is too lazy to go to the store for more food. No, they're too lazy to even eat the left-overs. Until we actually find another long term energy solution we need to work with what we have. They're just going to keep pork-barreling and whining about things until it's too late. So much for a soft landing.
