Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) uses a just-released video (below) to point out what happened at 3:09 a.m. (Eastern) on June 26 as most Americans were sleeping: Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives were creating a nightmare. “In the early morning hours,” he explains, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her deputies were pushing the largest [...]

U.S. Drilling Activity Jumps 19% in 4th Quarter
January 13th, 2009 · No Comments
