Republican congressman Eric Cantor of Virginia – the minority party whip – said that earlier this week his office was hit by a bullet which broke a window. Turns out police determined the bullet was fired up in the air and randomly fell through Cantor’s window. While we still don’t believe the story (and wouldn’t be surprised if Cantor created the whole incident), we do believe it’s time to move past the angry tit-for-tat rhetoric and get back to solving more of America’s problems.

PS: I take a swipe at Democrats, but Republicans aren’t much better: THEY ALSO have a healthcare plan of their own -instead of using the one they foisted upon us. LIKEWISE, I ask fellow-REPUBLICANS: “If YOUR plan’s so hot, why don’t YOU use it?! –LOL”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican lawmakers said on Thursday they would try to block a Environmental Protection Agency proposal that opens the door to federal regulation of planet-warming gases.
Barack Obama | Green Business
Last week, the EPA issued a ruling that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, clearing the way for the agency to regulate carbon without congressional legislation.
Senator Lisa Murkowski, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, is leading an effort in the chamber to overturn the finding through a rarely used joint resolution of disapproval.
Getting the proposal passed will be a heavy lift, since Republicans are a minority in both the House and Senate. The resolution requires the approval of both chambers and President Barack Obama.
Some Democrats have also expressed concerns about the EPA regulating carbon.
Advancing climate policy through regulation “is not the best tool,” Murkowski told reporters on Thursday at a briefing held by Energy Daily. “In fact, most would say it is the worst tool we could be using.”
Murkowski and other critics of the EPA’s finding say it would cause substantial damage to the economy by burdening businesses with additional costs.
Murkowski’s resolution has picked up support from other Republicans in the Senate and a similar effort is being taken up by Republicans in the House.
“We’re not going to allow the executive branch, through the Environmental Protection Agency … to appropriate to themselves the power to make laws that govern the people of the United States without the United States Congress acting in this area as well,” Republican Senator Jon Kyl said at the briefing.
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, head of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee, decried the plan to block the endangerment finding.
