Maybe I'm not such a fan of the Washington Times' reporting any more. Just look at how they intro their story today about the passage of Waxman-Markey Cap n' Tax bill out of committee yesterday:
President Obama's plan to arrest U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions took a historic step Thursday as the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed a plan to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and establish a marketplace that would allow companies to buy and sell the right to pollute.
A "right to pollute"? If that's the case then just wipe all humans and mammals from the planet since we "pollute" every time we exhale (CO2). Talk about adopting the talking points of the environoiacs.
