It's called corporate welfare, Beantown Billy. It works like this: If you donate X amount of money to the Republican Party, then you get something in return. Like all those utilities and energy companies that donated so heavily to the Republican Party last year. Their contributions "bought" them some time with Dick Cheney a couple weeks ago.

By the way, one of the things that coal companies in Appalachia bought for their contributions to the GOP is an easing of clean-air standards. The irony of it is that this will help keep down my energy costs, but all that coal burned to produce electricity in Kentucky-Ohio-Indiana is going to exacerbate the acid rain problem in the Northeast.

So it looks like the joke's on you and Allen Wrench, not on me.
