From the strange bedfellows department. . . .

It's not often that the politician I agree with most on a major political issue is John Dingell, but check this out. Now, I realize that it is entirely possible that Dingell is taking an extreme position in order to scotch any reform at all, but a carbon tax is a sound idea and perhaps Dingell's position will get it a wider hearing.

This brings up a larger point. The political blogosphere tends to divide into red and blue, and ne'er the twain shall meet. It's not enough to disagree with people, they must be proven to be inadequate human beings and destroyed. I submit that this has gotten worse on the internet, and hinders good government. Please, people, less calling names, more engaging ideas.
