(H/T – Fred)
It’s a case of good/bad/ugly news:
The good – The Senate voted to open up 8.3 million acres of the central Gulf of Mexico to new oil development by a vote of 71-25.
The bad – It must now be reconciled with a House measure that opens up additional land off both coasts to oil development.
The ugly – Russ el-Slimeroad (Moonbat-Al Qaeda) supported both of his natural constituencies in voting against this.
