House of Cards

Since the news broke of the biggest fracker getting fracked, things have been unraveling at a rapid pace. 

Chesepeake's stock is taking a hit, shareholders are suing Aubrey McClendon, and finally, Feds are investigating.  We hear the trickle down has already started to hit home.  How many elected officials throughout the shale own stock?  How many campaigns will be impacted by the losses?

In addition to all that, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports, Wyoming governor got EPA chief to stall announcement on fracking, groundwater contamination.  WHY?  "....show that Wyoming officials took advantage of the postponement to "take a hard line" and coordinate an "all-out press" against the EPA in the weeks leading up to the announcement Dec. 8."

Seems Al Armendariz isn't quite the news story they thought he'd be.  In today's paper, he was called, "the best".  Thanks, Al!
