The Senate, in a rare show of intelligence, defeated a move by Senator
Ted Stevens of Alaska to open up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to

The disgraceful thing about it is that he tried to attach it to the
defense appropriations bill.


And the positive thing was that the ambush of that old fool was put together
by Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington, a rising star from the Westcoast,
who along with our other lady Senator, a brave few conservationist
Republicans and the "Girls from Maine" and California, offer the hope that
the asshole factor and stench of corruption in the Senate can be reduced.
