Damned either way

I don't think Bush's talk about alternative fuels is honest, but our media almost force polticians to be disingenuous. They've driven Bush's political support so low that he'd be a fool to be candid. The press don't interview the people who understand the economics, nor apparently do newspapers publish their letters.

I know that Cheney and Bush both understand what's really going on, but to say it is to invite a lynch mob. They're both being pressured by the cowards in the Congress who think that the way to win votes is to tell people what they want to hear.

I don't like it, but I understand it. It's pretty discouraging.
