What do you think about ET becoming a Think Tank with new ideas/solutions that the Obama admin. will look to?  Think the fact that it's European will knock it out of consideration?

Well, Jerome actually co-authored a plan called Energize America 2020.  It was being pushed by Daily Kos bloggers for a while, and, as I understand it, a few members of Congress were interested.

As for ET doing it, I think -- and I'm cognizant of the fact that I've contributed in comments -- there's been far too much "Americanization" of ET.  It's a European site, and I, personally, come to read and discuss what's going on across the Pond.

But I do think American bloggers should be involved in pushing policy rather than simply campaigning.

Come November 5th, I think we'll be counting down the days until Chimpy McFlightsuit is gone.

Homework is part of the European work ethic.  Link yourself, or search the archives.

Yeah, right.  Thanks for nothing.  Go back to your bottle.
