Severing Economic Growth

If you're as disturbed as I am at this lemming rush to raise taxes on energy production, you need to read David Sanders' latest column.

Here's the link.

Also, I caught Sanders' show, Unconventional Wisdom, with his guest John Brummett. One thing stood out like a sore thumb about Brummett's analysis of the Republican race is that he said that he could support McCain, "because I won't have to worry about who he'll put on the Supreme Court."

I have received a note from David Sanders informing me that I misheard the above comment by John Brummett. He apparently said the opposite. Here's what he actually said, "Even I could almost vote for John McCain, if I didn't have to worry about who gets nominated to the Supreme Court, which is what this is all about."

This statement is still remarkably telling about McCain, although I don't agree that Brummett would have much to worry about McCain's choices for the Supreme Court, given his lead role in helping to sink many superb judicial nominees.
