House Passes Climate Bill

We should weep for the free market and individual freedom at this abomination and the associated religious like faith in global warming:
Landmark legislation to curb U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions was approved by the House of Representatives in a close vote late Friday, securing an initial victory for a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's agenda.
