It is hard to tell how long this oil price drop will last and the effect on the Texas economy. Many drillers can still make money at low oil prices. The Eagle Ford formation is profitable at $52 to $57 a barrel

oil and coal manage to hold their own for a while there is going to come a time when this is not just an oops moment of glut. Maybe they should be looking for other more sustainable investments to rely on. Maybe they should be looking at the whole picture of the future needs of the planet.

triumphs of wingnut policies, nobody/no "journalist" has ever asked what specific programs or policies GOODHAIR has put into effect. Hint: None. He and wingnuts at large take credit, skipping past what they have actually DONE to result in anything.

Remember how the wingnuts harped for more than four years that OBAMA needed to stop blaming the recession on Shrub, needed to OWN the economy. Well, guess what, it turns out that when the economy keeps getting better the wingnuts claim that "it's NOT 'Obama's economy'." Uh, somehow they get to claim credit for anything that "happened on (their) watch" but deny any credit for anything for what happens on the Dem watch. Shrub gets baby piloted onto the deck of an aircraft carrier, but never is this called "spiking the ball," and killing BIN LADEN is *nothing* in OBAMA's record.
