It is Precious to Them
More and more Republicans inside the beltway are whispering that they can fix Obamacare. We’ve already seen House Republicans do it. They’ve started fixing Obamacare, claiming they are dismantling it.

The Tony Podesta / Heather Miller breakup – technically, a ‘divorce’ – promises to be fascinating.
Dear Lord, but this is going to be bloody: “Last week the information Tony Podesta was giving was the divorce complaint he had filed in D.C. Court against his wife Heather. The hands receiving that information belonged to a gossip columnist for the Washington Post, who made the “informed decision” to report on it. Later in the day Heather, who is also a lobbyist, informed the Post the text of her counter-suit. It published a follow-up.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
MSNBC’s Alex Wagner: The IRS Is The REAL Victim Here

The Shale Boom and Its Impact on Domestic Energy Supply
During the shale boom, year-over-year reserve increases have run from 2 to 4 billion barrels per year for the four previous years. I see little sign of this trend abating. If it does continue, our reserves could top all-time, pre-Arab Oil Embargo highs. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
