We'd like to give a shout out to Carmen Bumgarner from St. Louis for this excellent letter-to-the-editor in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. An excerpt:

These oil companies haven't supported Blunt just because they think he's a nice guy -- they believe his votes and actions will line up with their interests, including any measures meant to reign in greenhouse gases.
