Blog Round-Up: Oil, Rangel and Protests

Here are some recent items in national blogs that are at least peripherally related to the 29th:

The Politico's Crypt blog, which follows Capitol Hill, has the details on offshore and ANWR drilling. Offshore drilling would add 1.6% to our oil supply decades from now. ANWR would knock 5% off the price of oil 12 years from now.

Liz Benjamin of the Daily News has a story about last night's Rangel fundraiser. Eric Massa was one of the recipients. Republicans are trying some guilt-by-association because Rangel has been accused of a couple of minor ethics violations.

Finally, House Republicans have been holding protest sessions on the darkened House floor, demanding that Congress be called back into session to debate a Republican energy bill. John Boehner, the Minority Leader, apparently doesn't share that concern. According to the Crypt, he's been golfing in Ohio this week.

"Offshore drilling would add 1.6% to our oil supply decades from now. ANWR would knock 5% off the price of oil 12 years from now." - and this is bad because ????

Charlie Rangel is a hoot - I wouldn't vote for him but I love to read about all the crazy stuff he does.

Never said it was bad. Just putting it in context.

Charlie's a hoot and a sharp-dressed man.
