#2 It doesn't make a significant difference whether one applies a gas tax at the pump, an 'excess profits' tax, or 'crap and trade' taxes; in all three cases the consumer ends up paying and the effect on global warming is vanishingly small (at most.) The differences between plans are in the ability of the politicians to blame the evil oil companies for the increased price and to engage in corrupt deals.

#4 I wish I could assert that Lindsey Graham is the only national Republican capable of getting to the left of President Zero, but we have the counter-example of Sen. Bennett of Utah to put paid to that wishful theory.
