No Runny Eggs: Alito cloture invoked 72-25

This restatement of "Those who don't remember history" (and Part 2) will be at the top of the blog until AB15, the bad-ethanol-gas bill, is defeated. Please look for the regular posts below.

How appropriate it is that the penultimate reaction to the first episode happened 232 years ago December 16th. A politically-connected industry finds itself with a massive amount of product that it can't sell. It goes to the government to get a monopoly in a new market to get rid of it and goes on to claim that it will actually cost less to do it that way. I am not talking about the East India Tea Company back in the 1770s (which led to the Boston Tea Party and ultimately the creation of the United States of America), but ethanol in 2005. That's right, the Assembly forgot its history and crammed AB15, the bill mandating the more-expensive, less-efficient, more-polluting, GM-engine-killing statewide E10 gasoline mandate through the day before the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.

There is at least one more chance to stop this, and likely just that one more chance. This bill still has to go through the Senate (my list of semi-confirmed "no" votes here). If it makes it through, Jim "Craps" Doyle (WEAC/ADM-Potawatomi) has already promised ADM that he would sign it. Those Senate staffers you called regarding the repeal of the automatic gas-tax increase are still there in Madison. Call them today! If you don't have the number (for shame; you should still have it from the efforts to repeal the automatic gas-tax increase), go here to find your Senator and his or her phone number.

Alito cloture invoked 72-25

I'll have the link to the roll once it's available. While Russ Feingold blindly listened to the Kerry/NY Times siren call, Herb Kohl somehow didn't hear it and voted for cloture.

Revisions/extensions (5:10 pm 1/30) - The roll call is now up. Dems voting conscience over party and moonbats - Akaka, Baucus, Bingaman, Byrd, Cantwell, Carper, Conrad, Dorgan, Inouye, Kohl, Landrieu, Lieberman, Lincoln, both Nelsons, Pryor, Rockefeller, and Salazar. The thinking half of the country thanks you.

And for these 25 moonbats - Bayh, Biden, Boxer, Clinton, Dayton, Dodd, Durbin, Feingold, Feinstein, Jeffords, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Leahy, Levin, Menendez, Mikulski, Murray, Obama, Reed, Reid, Sarbanes, Schumer, Stabenow and Wyden - we have something else to say to you - SUCK ON IT!
