Oil fight could trigger a federal shutdown

This angers me. (Not the shutdown part--if the Republicans want to be that stupid/suicidal right before the election, let them.) Democrats are now, after all these years, drawing up a plan to allow drilling in ANWR? Conservation is a fantastic moral issue. It incenses me that they're willing to compromise their morals.
