Oil and natural gas addicts were shocked by the news yesterday that domestic production would be shut down due to Hurricane Gustav.
NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Energy producers have shut in approximately 100% of oil production and 95.4% of natural gas output in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, after companies shuttered operations ahead of Hurricane Gustav, the U.S. Minerals Management Service said Monday.
Before the production shut-ins, about 1.3 million barrels of oil and 7.4 billion cubic feet of gas a day was produced in the Gulf.
This 1.3 million barrels of oil represents about 6% of daily U.S. consumption, far too much to miss out on according to some addicts. “Time to break into the stash”, one administration official reportedly said with a sigh.
The U.S. government said it was ready to release crude oil stocks from the nation’s emergency reserve if Gustav causes a significant disruption.

Presumably aiming to keep his presentation symmetrical with his governance, recent changes have been made to Alo Presidente , the weekly, ninety-minute program of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. Fans of the show, however, needn’t worry the change in format will kill the quality: the website assures us it will retain “novel, pedagogic elements and, above all, his [Hugo’s] immense love for the people that embrace us [The Bolivarian Revolution], and let us know that ... more
Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution includes the order to the President of the United States:
…he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed
I think it wouldn’t be a stretch to consider this the most basic job of the President. He is called the Chief Executive for a reason. So what has been learned over the past week?

Blue America and Color Of Change are targeting Steny Hoyer, the architect of the FISA "compromise," calling him out for legalizing wiretapping American citizens.
