By Steve Benen | The Maddow Blog,

By Steve Benen The Maddow Blog, May 8, 2012 In Washington, DC, events, rallies, and protests are exceedingly common, especially around Capitol Hill and the National Mall. What’s far less common are events in Statuary Hall. And yet, as my friend Rob Boston reported, that’s one of the things making a prayer rally on Capitol Hill today interesting. On May 8, a group called Come Pray With Me plans to hold a prayer service in Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol. This is kind of a big deal. Statuary Hall isn’t some sort of public facility that anyone can use.

By Katherine Scott
Drilling Contractor

Analyst: Numbers show that US is drilling its way to zero net oil imports Horizontal drilling, multi-stage fracturing drive surge in onshore volumes, key to reversing decades-long production decline By Katherine Scott, editorial coordinator Drilling Contractor, May/June, 2012 An increasing US crude production coupled with declining oil demand is resulting in a sharp reduction in the nation’s oil imports, according to Raymond James and Associates. They believe that US oil and gas companies have already worked toward reversing a nearly four-decade-long decline in oil supply. Source: EIA, RJ estimates Horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracturing are working hard for the industry, and the results are paying off. According to research by Raymond James and Associates, by opening the door to vast resources of unconventional liquids, the industry has radically reshaped the trajectory of US oil production. This is reversing a nearly four-decade-long decline in oil production. Coupled with declining US oil demand due in part to better vehicle efficiency, the shift is moving the country toward energy independence. Owed to fact that US oil and gas companies have already overcome

By ADAM HOCHSCHILD | New York Times

Re: THE SPANISH HOLOCAUST Inquisition and Extermination in Twentieth-Century Spain By Paul Preston Illustrated. 700 pp. W. W. Norton & Company. $35. By ADAM HOCHSCHILD NewYork Times, May 11, 2012 Miners captured by General Franco’s forces in 1936, before their execution in Seville. In “Homage to Catalonia,” his memoir of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell remarks that Francisco Franco’s military uprising against Spain’s elected government “was an attempt not so much to impose fascism as to restore feudalism.” Paul Preston’s magisterial account of the bloodshed of that era bears this out. Fascism may belong to the 20th century, but
