More blind stubbornness

Dick Cheney spoke to crowds in Arkansas today and showed the administration's lack of initiative when it comes to energy policy:

Cheney advocated increasing domestic oil production in wildlife areas in Alaska and other regions that are off-limits to development.

"We have put ourselves into a box. The only thing I can think of to do is to keep pushing for a comprehensive energy policy," he said. "We are at the mercy of those international oil prices."
