WASHINGTON—The House voted Friday to lift the 40-year-old ban on oil exports, fueling a clash with President Barack Obama and acting on one of the oil industry’s top congressional priorities.
Lawmakers voted 261-159 to lift a ban Congress first put in place after the 1970s Arab oil embargo that sent domestic gasoline prices skyrocketing. Debate on the issue now shifts to the Senate, where the measure faces steep hurdles to passage.

Then some ATTROCIOUS news: Hostilities just escalated
Russian jet SHOT DOWN by Turkey
Putin 'sending 150,000 soldiers to Syria

Makes one appreciate this little island a whole lot more.

Yes, I know this stuff will impact on PoO but........does not taste right.

A safe and peaceful weekend
