Today's TRMS
Doesn't McCain just have the most wicked sense of humor?! And yes we mean wicked, not in the Bostonian way, but in the "of the West" kind of way. Especially now that he has publicly tried to persuade his wife to compete in a topless beauty pageant at a biker rally in South Dakota. Now, what would Nancy Reagan do...?
On today's show Rachel will be talking to Greg Sargent from Talking Point Memo about the thousands of dollars Hess Corporation-- an oil company-- funneled into McCain's campaign just around the time of his pro-offshore drilling announcement.
And then Paul Rieckhoff from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America joins us to talk about the $300 million granted to study post-traumatic stress disorder

If they did this back in the 70s when it was proposed maybe things would be a little different today. Offshore drilling won't provide any savings for many years. They still have to explore for it. The moratorium ends in Sept I think. McCain wants to leave it to the states to decide if they want coastal exploration. It's just a start. It's something. It might affect the psyche of the middle east to see that the US is moving forward in great hopes of not needing them so much.
Love,
HR
