Oil Price Manipulators: Busted

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I wonder how many others have escaped detection this time. I wonder how many others were never detected under the previous administration.

Obo Praises Iraq as a Model

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Whereas I think Obama is being diplomatic in expressing his hopes and inspirations in his remarks about Iraq, he also acknowledged the difficulties in the fledgling state, as noted in the article.
But I'm a bit more alarmed about this:

Tonight's Wanna Be President Debate!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Will we see a redo of the last one with the GOP contenders tenaciously locked in a nerve racking debate about who hates evolution the most? Or, how about their years of economic policies during the Bush legacy that led us to overwhelming prosperity? No, wait, it;s their energy policy: "drill baby drill" but don't do it in my backyard! (Ditto for nuke power in Utah!)
Can't wait to hear about Obomarney care!
Bring it on!...

Your Government At Work? The FDA Leaps Into Action

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Well, I would say that's the FDA at work. What galled me about them, among other things, is that they got after the Quaker Oatmeal company for noting on its box that it may reduce cholesterol and they really went after them with typical zealous bureaucratic stupidity. But not a word on non steroidal anti inflammatories that you can buy over the counter which may cause serious GI tract bleeding and worse. Figures...
