Energy Secretary said he didn't know about North Slope spill for a week
I'm saying this out of personal experience, not with a link. I heard him speak on Friday, and in response to a question from the audience about the ongoing pipeline spill, he stated that he hadn't heard about it until the day before - that is, Thursday, March 9th.

As the link below notes, I posted my first story on this on Saturday, March 4th, and the story references a break beginning on Thursday, March 2nd - all of which makes me wonder if I'm really all that much smarter than the Secretary of Energy.

Why don't our officials ever know what is going on?

6. Oh my gawd, don't any of them watch the news?
I thought they were supposed to be the ones that made the news, not watched the news.
