Decidedly center-right. A blog of generally thoughtful political commentary with a little barbed humor thrown in for good measure. BEWARE! If you are rhetorically sensitive or thin-skinned - just don't read any further. Truth can be offensive! WEASEL WORDS / LEGALESE: All views expressed are the author's alone (even if others may heartily agree) and this blog does not necessarily reflect the views of the local, state or national Republican Party (although they frequently might). Nuff said!
That gave the conservatives 239 seats and the Free Democrats 93 in the lower house - for a comfortable centre-right majority of 332 seats to 290. The Social Democrats won 146, the Left Party 76 and the Greens 68."
So while we are close to embracing socialism, the Germans most leftward party - the Greens did the worst of all parties.

The report was pegged to legislative consideration of AB15, a bill adopting recommendations from Gov. Jim Doyle’s Task Force on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency calling for the state to get 10 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2015. Less than two percent currently comes from renewable sources.
State officials said today the report reinforces the governor’s commitment to growing the economy and making the state more energy efficient.
“It’s right in line with a lot of the things Gov. Doyle has been trying to do,” said Aaron Olver, executive assistant in the Department of Commerce.
Doyle has previously called for state government to get 10 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2006 and 20 percent by 2010.
Nothing wrong with pursuing alternative energy, what is wrong is the Democratic Party picking winners and losers rather than letting the market decide.

Excerpt:
Ostovich opened the doors of her home in the 3200 block of S. 6th St. to U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Gov. Jim Doyle and U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore Friday. The politicians toured the house to see an example of the home-weatherization program that's about to get a boost in funding from the federal economic stimulus package.
Yeah - the stimulus package that was written by either Dave Obey or the Apollo Alliance - or both.
