Whoopee!!!

Congress Balks at Barack Obama's Cap and Trade Proposal - WSJ.com:

"Please pass Al Gore a Valium -- and better make it a double -- because his cap-and-trade dreams just took a dive in the U.S. Senate. In a vote late Wednesday, no fewer than 26 Democrats joined all 41 Republicans to insist that any new cap and tax on carbon energy would require at least 60 votes."

Something to celebrate! Not all Democrats have a death wish. Particularly gratifying since this vote took place while the President was in Europe genuflecting before the altar of "Climate Change."
