You can't spell Bush without BS

Now, I remember in the State of the Union Bush saying that he wanted to create cleaner energy. If you don't remember, here is a quote:

So tonight, I announce the Advanced Energy Initiative -- a 22-percent
increase in clean-energy research -- at the Department of Energy, to push for
breakthroughs in two vital areas. To change how we power our homes and offices,
we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants, revolutionary solar and
wind technologies, and clean, safe nuclear energy.

How does he accomplish this? By cutting the budget of the National Renewable Energy Lab, which was forced to lay off 30+ workers. Here's the catch: Bush was scheduled to speak at the lab today to talk about his dedication to clean energy. I'm guessing that his reception would not have been that warm. So what did they do? They magically found some of the money in the budget to give back to the lab before the speech. Not all, but just enough to re-hire the people. According to the CarpetBagger Report, it was $5 million of the $28 million that they cut.

All we need now is for Bush to visit a school in my district so maybe we can get some of that No Child Left Behind money. Oh wait, there really isn't any.
