Yippee!
More than one month after Election Day, retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally (R) held on to a narrow lead to claim victory today in Arizona's 2nd District, ousting Democratic Rep. Ron Barber.
A two-week recount in the Tucson-based district increased McSally's margin of victory to 167 votes, according to The Arizona Republic. That number is only a handful of ballots more than the 161-vote margin the Republican had clung to after the November election. (no source; excerpt from private newsletter)

I'd be more excited if it wasn't for Boehner & McConnell.
[Ynet] Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says approving the Keystone XL pipeline will top the Senate agenda in January. The issue could set up an early 2015 veto confrontation with President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... Congressional Republicans have been pushing for approval of the pipeline for years. Obama has resisted because of environmental concerns.
The pipeline would carry oil from Canada into the United States and eventually to the Texas Gulf Coast.
The Republican-led House has repeatedly passed legislation approving the pipeline. But the bills have died in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

With oil prices down as far as they are I don't see a pipeline project attracting investors anytime soon.
Actually, this is the best time to build it. Prices WILL go up and savvy industry players know this. There are deep pocket investors here waiting for the wobbly energy players to succumb to the low prices. Then they snap up the distressed assets. Building the pipeline know makes a lot of sense.

Woozie, agreed.
I may not defeat you but my children's children will.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
