  more AK news
(there is no meaningfully new Cuba news to report this morning; not even any decently juicy Cuba gossip. Although there has also still been absolutely no sight of Raúl. I have no idea what to make of it, except a) he's totally, totally dead or b) see my previously-mentioned extreme binge-drinking hypothesis.)

In other news, though, BP found "unexpectedly severe corrosion" in the AK pipeline and shut down Prudhoe Bay. This, at least according to the NYT, will cut domestic oil production by 8%--or about 1/3 the amount we import daily from Venezuela. Full story here.

Also, is it just me, or does this shot of the pipeline look right out of "Joe vs. the Volcano" or what?
