Opposite Day
Okay, am I the only one surprised by this:
The Post alone fronts the Senate passing $35 billion in domestic cuts over the next five years; the bill also says the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge can be opened for drilling. The House, though, isn't likely to agree to open ANWR.
The House isn't likely to agree? I thought this might have just been Today's Papers still being in the rough draft phase getting House and Senate switched (they often have one or two grammatical or other corrections that come out over the course of the day; the hazards of trying read all the major newspapers and get this out in the wee hours each morning), but the cited articles back it up.
Since when is the House of Representatives the voice of moderation and reason in policy, especially on ANWR? Are these the first buds of a spring long Delayed?
