I love Today's Papers:
A WP piece, inexplicably tucked away on A8, quotes officials from the electric oversight group charged with preventing blackouts, complaining that they're underfunded and don't have any enforcement authority. A plan locked in the larger energy bill would address that, though the White House opposes the proposal (as does, a group founded by Ralph Nader). Perhaps this didn't make Page One because it was crowded out by the plethora of other hot stories, such as the A1 breaking news piece about the many New Yorkers who don't drive.

I'm car-phobic too, as a matter of fact. I have felt, ever sice I was a kid, that New York would probably be a good place for me... basically anywhere with a good mass transit system. I can drive fine, but I purely hate it. First time I ever visited NYC I had the train system completely figured out in a few hours.

I was so hoping that was a Waterpoint piece.
