As we bake in the heat and wait for the electricity to come back on,
you get some sympathy for what it is like to have third world infrastructure. Where will the money come from to rebuild the grids in both countries? We simply do not have it.

Its nice to know too that as we try to build democracy in that country, ours is being turned by events like the California recall into an international laughingstock.

1. We await the findings of Cheney's secret energy commission

[patdem]

2. You mean how much MORE treasure we must turn over to

Haliburton for the energy needs both here and Iraq? Gee if Cheney does not get a substantial bonus I personally will be really pissed!

3. The internal workings of Cheney's Energy Task Force, if known, would ...

... put Bu$hco out of business and many key players, like Ken Lay (and maybe Bu$h and Cheney), would be disgraced, cashiered, and convicted. Why has the hue and cry not gone up? Inquiring, rational minds want to know what the ultra-secrecy is all about.

It's hard to see in the dark of Cheney's information blackout. But my smell has become well-honed and exquisitly keen. I'm getting strong hits of the stench of abysmal corruption. Like Marcellus said, in Hamlet (Act I, Scene 4), "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
