For a friend

Two non-programming posts in one day?!
Yeah, but it's for a good cause:
A friend is in need of $ to make rent by Friday.

Let's get political in here

HR 2454
This bill taxes energy companies, and that tax will be passed down to the people who pay those energy bills- like me. Friday last week, it was voted on by the House; it passed by 7 votes. No one has read the bill in its entirety - 1201 pages, 300 added on overnight in closed door meetings with who knows what lobbyists. Does that seem right to you?

Up next, a health care bill. Whether you're for or against it, I think you'll agree this is an issue important enough for congress to read the bill before they vote on it. It's too important for them not to.
