The State of the Campaign

I worry about some of my friends getting too caught up in the campaign. A few months ago Senator McCain proposed (the absurd notion) that we offer a gas tax holiday to make gasoline more affordable. Then yesterday Senator Obama offered (an equally absurd alternative) to tax the "windfall" (why only limit this to oil companies - if you extend Obama's notion logically, all profits are windfalls) profits of oil companies to offer a new tax credit.

So now Paris Hilton, who was named in a parody ad by Senator McCain, produced her own response. Oddly, it is the most sensible thing that any candidate for president has said about energy policy during this increasingly long campaign. Who'd a thunk it?
