Pelosi's Ploy (polls, vote, amendment, articles)

[Delta Planter]

Energy Policy: After calling plans to drill for more oil a "hoax," Speaker Nancy Pelosi now says she'll allow a vote on drilling for more crude to reach the floor of the House. We'll believe it when we see it.

Hah, I can hardly wait for this one. And I wonder, When?

September. As a lot of people have known for months. But it won't be the hollow vote on useless offshore leasing only that the Republicans have had swimming around in their heads. There will be other provisions that actually have a chance to accomplish something beyond another increase in the price of oil company stocks over the next decade...

Yes, drilling for oil will be one among several amendments that include considerable revenue for alternative fuel research & tapping into the national reserve.
