np: timbuk 3 - "the future's so bright, i gotta wear shades"

after reminiscing about my time in hiroshima and its relevance to saturday's sad anniversary, i read this post over on billmon's blog. here's a teaser, but you should read the whole deal:

A provision tucked into the 1,724-page energy bill that Congress is poised to enact today would ease export restrictions on bomb-grade uranium, a lucrative victory for a Canadian medical manufacturer and its well-wired Washington lobbyists.

The Burr Amendment -- named for its sponsor, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) -- would reverse a 13-year-old U.S. policy banning exports of weapons-grade uranium unless the recipients agree to start converting their reactors to use less-dangerous uranium . .


i'm putting my shades on as i type..
