Could Obama cut deal on Keystone pipeline? Don't rule it out | Reuters

"(Reuters) - President Barack Obama might be open to using the Keystone pipeline as leverage with Republicans if they cooperate on other aspects of his long-stalled domestic agenda, such as investing in infrastructure, closing tax loopholes or reducing carbon emissions."

We give up. We have no position on this particular pipeline but how authorizing its construction is compatible with reducing carbon emissions escapes us.

Also, we find it somewhat amusing a theater in England devoted to reproducing an authentic Shakespearean experience is now selling (or renting) videos of its productions that can be purchased (and streamed) online. That said, if they will except money instead of pounds (pounds of what?) we might try one or two ourselves. Those Brits do know how to do the Bard.
