Hi Suzy,

Here's how I would suggest doing this:

<div class="hentry">
   <h2 class="entry-title">EnergyBill</h2>
    <div><strong><abbr class="published updated"
title="2007-12-04T00:00:00-08:00">December 04,
2007</abbr></strong></div>
     <div id="hcard-Associated-Press" class="vcard">
        <div class="fn org">Associated Press</div>
       <div class="adr"><span class="locality">WASHINGTON</span>,  
<abbr class="region" title="District of Columbia">D.C.</span></div>
    </div>
     <div class="entry-content">Congress is set to consider an
<strong>Energy Bill</strong> called the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007. The act's stated purpose is ...</div>
</div>

What I changed:

- Moved the title from a title attribute (I don't believe that means  
what you're trying to say) to an element with class="entry-title"
- Changed class="fn n" to class="fn org", because it's an organization
- Wrapped class="adr" around the address information for the hCard,  
and moved that within the hCard

If any of this doesn't make sense, please let us know.

Peace,
Scott
