More Hot Air

A webstory today about all the hot air in the energy debate. Also, interestingly, a scoop from Politico's Martin Kady II and Patrick O'Connor about how Pelosi behind the scenes is encouraging her members to defect, banking on passing legislation next year. Dana Milbank has loads more color on the House protest. And here's a little tidbit I didn't know until Mike Pence of Indiana pointed it out on the floor yesterday morning: there's only one quote inscribed inside the House chamber and it crowns the press entrance from the gallery, written in gold lettering. It reads:

Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests and see whether we also, in our day and generation, may not perform something worthy to be remembered. – Daniel Webster
