All the markets want to hear is a concrete, detailed plan on how the banks are going to get fixed.

Cap and trade is pure cut-me-a-deal. People who know the right people will be able to buy indulgences to emit carbon. These indulgences will have no relation to real carbon abatement. Trees planted in rocky and unwatered ground will count as if they had already grown to maturity and been cut down and sequestered. Yes, Virginia, that's how it works.

For the rest, it'll be a tax that doesn't count as a tax on the government's books. Sigh. Pay up.

As an AGW partial convert, I'm just sick. This will make it all the more impossible to actually do anything real about the problem. Opposition to this dirty trick will fuse with opposition to the whole notion that there's a problem. If there's a problem, we'll be sorry we didn't do anything real about it. If there isn't, we'll be sorry we messed our economy over, for nothing.

Did one of Nancy Pelosi's grandchildren have an accident on the ugly sack she was wearing? Nancy had that "I should have had that fistula repaired" look on her face the whole time. Hillary just had the "God this man is a friggin' idiot, how did he beat me?" look on her mug.

Brit Hume sez: "this was not Jindal's most oratorical moment." Krauthammer sez Jindal had a hard act to follow. Juan Williams sez Jindal didn't pull it off, "was not the best from this young man form Louisiana." All are on target.
