Update: Oil prices tumble more than $10 per barrel

Not really worth the read

This week's Sunday News column was not really worth the read. Gil seems to again incorrectly assert that the war in Iraq was about oil. Iraq imports in 2002 accounted for about 9% of U.S. demand. All-in-all, Iraq produced 2.4% of the world's oil supply in 2004. Hardly something that couldn't be corrected with purchasing or importing elsewhere, don't you think?

Him and his TB cronies are basically trying to cover for the 550 metric tons (600 tons) of uranium yellowcake removed from Iraq just in the past week or so. Sure, it's not about Iraq having a WMD program - it's about oil. Sure...

While Gil does show signs of returning to intelligence, he seems to let the nonsensical, ridiculous stuff leak through every once in while. At least it is certainly a vast improvement over the ridiculousness of putting his column in the Lancaster section.

Congressional Approval Falls to Single Digits for First Time Ever

Tuesday, July 08, 2008

The percentage of voters who give Congress good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history. This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category.

DNC Convention to leave massive carbon footprint

Full Story

So they're taking down ceilings, they're putting up walls. They're ripping this whole building apart. "It's details like this that mesmerize him: The Pepsi Center is outfitted with 576 miles of phone lines, computer lines and high-speed cable. But that's not enough. The DNCC's needs, due in part to security, create a system 'so massive it exceeds the Pepsi Center's.' So the DNCC contractors will overlay all those cables with their own. Qwest has donated several million dollars' worth of telecommunications equipment to outfit the convention hall and the media city that will go up outside it with approximately 3,000 data lines and 2,500 voice-grade circuits. Based on past conventions, Qwest estimates the project will require about 160 miles of copper and coaxial cable in and around the Pepsi Center, and more than a dozen miles of fiber-optic. Xcel Energy is donating the extra transformers needed to electrify the thousands of computers, cameras, microphones. Several other high-tech firms are donating goods and services. Many of the 95 suites will be stripped of their furnishings," and restocked and furnished for the wise men on TV. Now, the Pepsi Center has its own lighting. Are you thinking carbon footprint here? Good. Good. (interruption) Well, Qwest, yeah, they donate to the Republicans, too. It goes back and forth. Snerdley, don't tell me you're shocked that corporate entities would pay protection racket money to either party.

Anyway, "And though the Pepsi Center has its own lighting -- good enough for professional sports and top-name entertainment acts -- the Democrats will bring in their own. They will bring so many lights and speakers -- as many as 300,000 pounds' worth -- the ceiling will have to be reinforced to hold them. 'It's kind of like a house party at your house that you're not hosting,' Jolette said. ... Leasing the Pepsi Center for the seven weeks of construction, the week of the convention and the remaining two weeks of reconstruction, means $6.5 million for Kroenke." Kroenke Arena Company owns the arena. Kroenke, by the way, is a Republican and he's in the Wal-Mart family, so the Democrats are paying Wal-Mart. I'm not kidding you. Kroenke's owner is Stan Kroenke, and he's allowed exclusive access to one of the skyboxes for his own use even though he's a staunch Republican. He's married to Sam Walton's brother's daughter, and they live, I think, in Columbia, Missouri. Mega bucks. So the Democrats are paying this guy $6.5 million for all of this stuff. Now, here's the point. What is the carbon footprint of this?

550 Tons of Yellowcake Uranium Removed from Iraq

Full Story

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium - reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.
