PBS's 'The Roosevelts': Some Myths, Yes, But Some Welcome Surprises
This 14-hour infomercial for Big Government Liberalism that bores Steve Moore to tears, I found fascinating.

Around that same time, the International Energy Agency altered its previous predictions to show that the U.S. would become the world's number-one oil producer by 2015, producing 11 million barrels of crude a day.
