It's hot but, Freedom Fries no more

The fries are French again on Capitol Hill... that's a relief. Matters of great consequence, after all. As Christy at FDL says:

Yep. Your Republican Congress hard at work on issues that are important to you. Yes, that’s right folks — something on Iraq or the other foreign policy debacles? Nada. Solving the nation’s current energy crunch, including the rapidly rising cost of fuel and electricity and our outdated energy infrastructure which is stretched beyond capacity in today’s heat wave? Zip. How’s it going on the Gulf Coast and in Florida where they are still rebuilding after two straight years of devastating hurricanes, with another one headed inland as I type — and not enough national guard and reserves to go around in case there is another catastrophe? Zilch. Budget deficit? Nothing on that either.
