Ok, so I, like so many of us filling out tanks with $4+ gas, have been thinking about ways to address the "energy problem". I really haven't heard anyone with a broad and cohesive plan to really address it yet... all just "baby steps" in my opinion (or it's "DRILL DRILL DRILL"). Nothing that's going to change anything significantly any time soon. But I've had a couple of ideas that I thought might be worthy sharing. So for what its worth, here's my energy plan.

Short n' sweet: In exchange for being hooked to the energy grid, anyone hooked up must also be able to generate and return to the grid, some portion of the power being provided by a renewable energy source such as solar or wind or both.

The details after the jump.

Ah, finally someone asks the question that's been on my mind.

In today's NYT article, REPUBLICAN Senator John W. Warner said:

"...he was becoming increasingly skeptical that a troop increase was in the best interest of the United States. "I’m particularly concerned about the greater injection of our troops into the middle of sectarian violence. Whom do you shoot at, the Sunni or the Shia?" Mr. Warner said. "Our American G.I.’s should not be subjected to that type of risk."

A little more over the fold.

There's been a lot of conversation on the re-framing of Core Democratic values lately and I don't get the feeling that we've really hit it yet.

Call me lazy (I can take it), but I thought I'd share part of a conversation I've been having with my moderate Republican friend that got down into the perception of core values between the parties. Since we're not quite there yet, I thought I'd add my .02 to the debate.

Now THIS is what we need to focus on when it comes to the Rove/Libby CIA leak. (This scandal really needs a more catchy name)

An excerpt from The Nation's coverage of the Senate Democratic Policy Council and the Democratic side of the House Government Reform Committee's unofficial hearing on Friday 7/22/05, specifically the testimony of former CIA case office and a former prosecutor James Marcinkowski.

David Corn says "I realized his statement was perhaps the most powerful rebuttal of and rebuke to the rightwingers who have been pushing disinformation about the Valerie Wilson case. I wish they all could have been tied to a chair and forced to listen to him."

A key part of his testimony after the flip.
