Good blog posts on the oil wars ... ignore the stocks
Nobody could have known that the dinner they were about to eat would one day change history. Some say it was goat. Others say it was lamb.

With the actual U.S. unemployment
rate teetering at around 20 percent, our lopsided “free trade” treaties
with China must be seriously reexamined. Particularly interesting is a
recent photo that surfaced, which American outsourcers don’t want us to
see.
On April 18, Liz Hull and Lee Surrell of the
UK Daily

The following post was sent to President Barack Obama at 0722 Hours on Sunday, June 6, 2010.
It is not likely that he will be aware of this plan given the various levels of ‘official filters’ which exist between the general public and the White House.
The only option is that of ‘tree-ing’ the message. Send to your friends & associates in the hopes that someone out there has entrée to the President, his Praetorian…

Franklin's Focus 6/7/10
Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and George Carlin
Where are you now that we desperately need you?
Each one of these verbal giants was during his heyday a brilliant
critic of our insane puritanism and militarism. Of course, mainstream
Amerika was appalled by these critics of American society, politics,
and foreign policies. Bruce and Carlin are dead now, and Sahl only
occasionally emerges for interviews. With those three…

warned that exposure to the antidepressant paroxetine (sold as Paxil,
Paxil CR, and Pexeva) in the first trimester of pregnancy might increase

the widespread prescribing of paroxetine and other antidepressants for
pregnant women? Unfortunately, the answer is no.
In fact,

So Israel can hijack a US-flagged ship in international waters, kidnap 12 Americans and gun one of them down with four bullets in the head and Chuckie Schumer could care less. But if it turns out that the Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief's stock clerk's girlfriend's hair stylist's accountant's uncle knows anyone at all in Turkey, Chuckie Schumer will have their head on a lance!
