A Great, Great Day -- Lots Of Stories -- October 13, 2014

Wow, I'm in a good mood.

I love it when I hit the target. I was off a little bit but not my much. The lead story this morning: the head of the CDC is being hammered for suggesting the nurse in Dallas contracted Ebola because the nurse broke protocol. Huge story on many levels.

Also exciting is news that Saudi Arabia will let prices drift lower, and remain lower for extended period of time. More on that later. Another big story. The story and comments here.

There was an announcement of another huge Canadian oil sands pipeline in Alberta; again big news.  TransCanada, the Keystone XL folks, announced regulatory approval for a 300-mile pipeline in northern Alberta with capacity to move up to 900,000 bopd of crude oil and 330,000 bdpd. More on that later, also.

Earning surprise? Arch Coal expects significant better results in 3Q14. How's that war on coal going?

RBN Energy has a great story on another pipeline in Texas, and even that won't be enough. More on that later.

And on top of all that, three days of wells coming off the confidential list. I will do those a bit later.

And sometime this week the production report for August, 2014, and possibly the Director's Cut. The last Director's Cut was released on September 12, so it's possible we could see the update as early as today. 

Targa in the news again.

ObamaCare never lets me down: October surprise -- premiums will jump significantly going into next year (not unexpected; more on that, also) and Dems avoiding the issue.  But the most interesting story: illegal immigrants (Nancy Pelosi's dreamers) love ObamaCare and want it expanded to include them. They will need it when the first case of Ebola hits Ciudad Juarez. No country for old men.

The headline in the Los Angeles Times: new Ebola case in Texas raises worries about US health care. To the best of my knowledge, US HEALTH CARE = OBAMACARE. The president bought it, he owns it.

Hopefully I have time for the Orange County (California) toll road story

But the reason I am in the best mood is going to be a media story.

From the outset I have suggested that one or two cases of Ebola in Ciudad Juarez will result in mass migration of undocumented into the US. Now it's being reported more widely. No less than US Southern Commander US Marine General John Kelly is saying the same thing.

But the biggest story: the Dallas Cowboys defeated the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks in a thriller over the weekend. And they beat them in Seattle.

Wow, it's going to be a long, long day. Where does one start? I think with the media news, and then perhaps the pipeline news.
