Seriously, our gonvernment hasn't even spent 5% of the "stimulus" money and the economy is beginning to bottom if not turn around. Personally, I thank God and our Founding Fathers for the snail's pace of bureaucracy. By the time members of Congress actually read this legislation the climate will be cooling down.

Outrageous AP article. Today's "Burlington Free Press" ran a front-page AP story (by Mary Clare Jalonick) emphasizing the "boon for forestland owners" in the bill and saying things like, "under a massive climate bill that ...Barack Obama and ... Democrats are trying to push through the House owners of large swaths of forestland -- tember companies, large farms, even foreign countries -- could reap billions of dollars." I'm sure the article is technically correct, but it's alarmist a hopelessly biased. I'd love to write an LTE countering it but lack the time and expertise to research it sufficiently. Suggestions?
