Now watch the Republicans whine about not making as much money as they
were slated to do.

Obama administration to reject Keystone XL

The State Department Wednesday will reject the Keystone XL pipeline,
multiple sources following the project tell POLITICO.

The formal announcement is expected at 3 p.m. from Deputy Secretary of
State William Burns. Although the permit would be rejected,
TransCanada would still be allowed to continue to work on and pitch an
alternative route through Nebraska.

Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail have endlessly
attacked President Barack Obama for putting environmental interests
and the green lobby ahead of a project that they say would create
thousands of jobs. Republicans scored a rare win this Congress by
including a 60-day deadline for Obama to make a decision on the
pipeline as part of the year-end deal on extending the payroll tax
holiday.

But administration officials have been clear from the beginning that
forcing a decision within 60 days would not yield enough time to make
a final decision and that Republicans were doing so merely to create a
new set of political talking points.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always
has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant
thread winding its way through our political and cultural life,
nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance
is just as good as your knowledge." - Issac Asimov
