The Renewable Fuels Standard must be relaxed to prevent unnecessary consumer harm in light of recent flooding.

Say what you will about the Rev. Al Sharpton, it is hard to ignore - or deter - him. And that is good news for those interested in fixing the nation's troubled public schools. In giving his voice to school reform as a true civil-rights issue, Sharpton may help change the nature of the debate. Equally significant is his willingness and that of other leaders in a recently formed coalition to challenge traditional allies in the cause of black and brown children. (1) comment
So I'm sitting here in my room, watching the humidity roll in and listening to the traffic stampede down North Dodge.
No, really - my room is in the attic, and when summer whacks us, as it tends to do every, well, summer, the temperature in my room is easily 10 degrees hotter than whatever the air temp is outside. You can indeed watch sheets of mugginess stream through the open windows.
