There is a lot happening today, but this is important BECAUSE of what is happening. Russia has declared war on Georgia - will this impact oil prices? It certainly could.

'Gohmert told me, “If they stick in a moratorium to prevent us getting oil and gas from our outer continental shelf to help the American people…they put that in to a continuing resolution to keep the government going. I’m sorry -- I’ve got to keep the American people going who can’t afford these gas prices. I’m voting against it, no matter what bill they stick it in. If it’s to honor my mother, my mother would understand, rest her soul, I would vote against it. We have got to take this stand.”

This is from Babbin's article. The dims say they will fight against the ban expiring by adding it to the appropriation bills that still have not been passed.
