The Article: U.S. official: little sign of crime-oil price link (via Reuters)

 

There is little sign organized crime is helping drive up energy prices, a senior Justice Department official said on Friday, despite assertions that such groups were strongly present in world oil markets.

"I don’t think that you can directly link the two," Alice Fisher, head of the department’s criminal division, said in an interview.

Yeah, RIGHT!

Go look.

I just wonder, how are the Neo-Conservative, Bush-Apologists, going to respond to this?

It should be quite interesting.

I wonder where WorldNetDaily’s outrage will be on this?

Better yet, What will Michelle "I married a rich Jew, to be somebody" Malkin’s response will be?

Should be interesting…. Spin and deny, what the Republicans are good at.

When the Porn is outlawed the Outlaws will have the Porn

As if Congress didn’t have anything else to do……

There’s this:

Concerned that the military is selling pornography in exchange stores in spite of a ban, one lawmaker has introduced a bill to clean up the matter.

“Our troops should not see their honor sullied so that the moguls behind magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can profit,” said Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., unveiling his House bill April 16.

His Military Honor and Decency Act would amend a provision of the 1997 Defense Authorization Act that banned sales of “sexually explicit material” on military bases.

The new language would “close existing loopholes” in regulations to bring the military “into compliance with the intent of the 1997 law,” Broun said.

“Allowing sale of pornography on military bases has harmed military men and women by escalating the number of violent, sexual crimes, feeding a base addiction, eroding the family as the primary building block of society, and denigrating the moral standing of our troops both here and abroad,” Broun said.

Broun said he wants to bring the Defense Department into compliance with the intent of the 1997 law “so that taxpayers will not be footing the costs of distributing pornography.

New York Sun reports: Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World

Could this be a sign of things to come?

The Article: Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World Via The New York Sun

Quote:

Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing.

Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.

At a Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers grew frustrated and occasionally uttered expletives as they searched in vain for the large sacks of rice they usually buy.

(Snip!)

The bustling store in the heart of Silicon Valley usually sells four or five varieties of rice to a clientele largely of Asian immigrants, but only about half a pallet of Indian-grown Basmati rice was left in stock. A 20-pound bag was selling for $15.99.

Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of a new contract for foreign rice sales.

“I’m surprised the Bush administration hasn’t slapped export controls on wheat,” Mr. Rawles said. “The Asian countries are here buying every kind of wheat.”

(Snip!)

Mr. Rawles said it is hard to know how much of the shortages are due to lagging supply and how much is caused by consumers hedging against future price hikes or a total lack of product.

“There have been so many stories about worldwide shortages that it encourages people to stock up. What most people don’t realize is that supply chains have changed, so inventories are very short,” Mr. Rawles, a former Army intelligence officer, said. “Even if people increased their purchasing by 20%, all the store shelves would be wiped out.”

The Bush Administration, long putting other country over ours is now faced with this sort of a dilemma. What will be our Presidents response, if hurricane Katrina is any indication, we could be in for one of the worst food shortages ever.

I would advise everyone to stock on needed items, as it could get ugly before too long.

Crazy Video of a kid threatening the President of the United States.

No, this isn’t a joke. I saw this earlier today, but because I figured it would get yanked, I did not blog on it.

But it seems it is still there. Believe it or not, some idiot kid, has recorded a threat to President of the United States. Of course, he’s a black kid, and a Obama supporter.

Now I’m not a big fan of the President, at all, nor his Political Party, But threats?!?!? Yikes! Time out Surprise That’s totally crazy!

Doesn’t anyone remember the young lady who posted a threatening picture of the President on her website, and got a visit for the Secret Service? I have to wonder aloud, will they pay this kid a visit? Or will they let him skate because he’s….do I dare say it? because he’s black?

It should be an interesting story to follow, I am surprised that Fox News and the other Media outlets haven’t reported on this one yet.
