A newswire story overlooked by most, but it is one of my contenders for important-story-of-the-week-everyone-ignores award:

Alaska trims expectations for North Slope oil output

I read some Alaskan blogs, remnants of the Palin effect. They are bitching that their socialist shaing in the oil bounty is only 700 per man woman and child this year. Used to be 2500. Sister Sarah and her brood are hurting. As well as any Alaskan counting on the socialist spreading of the wealth. Bummer. Exxon still wins.
