...as nearly half of the refineries fully or partially closed by the storm returned to service...

This is not good news for the libs --- :-)

All told, 20 refineries completely or partially shut down at one point, but recent signs of progress are taking some of the steam out of oil prices. U.S. crude oil futures settled down $1.61 at $65.96 a barrel on Tuesday, and gasoline slumped 12.87 cents, or 5.9 percent, to settle at $2.055 a gallon.

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in San Antonio and Ft. Worth tonight. My wife is down at Reunion Arena in Dallas as we speak handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would be most appreciative if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough
