    From the rants and observations series
    People like to show their knowledge in every occasion. It doesn’t take long to notice that opinions abound, but also differ. The strongest minds, seeking approval of the group or several persons by trying to take over the conversation, is a rule as old as humanity. The second old rule is that attention span plummets when common interests among participants are lacking, or when topics go against political correctness, or simply do not belonging to what (…)

    THE OIL-CURRENCY-WAR THEORY
    SYRIA:
    Syria has switched all of its government foreign exchange dealings from dollars to euros as part of a political stand-off with the US. Is it really “a political stand-off”?

    The top two Republicans in Congress caught in an outright lie A Republican staffer has named Frist and Hastert as the two lawmakers that added the vaccine makers liability protection to the defense bill- after the committee had met several times that day, and Dems even asked Alaska Senator Ted Stevens if the language was in the bill, and he told them no.

    Hidden in the folds of the thickly pork-laden Department of Defense Appropriations bill that slid through Congress just before Christmas and was signed into law a day before New Year’s was a big slab of holiday cheer for the pharmaceutical industry. There were no press releases from congressional offices and no mention in the news - maybe no one wanted to take credit for this latest assault on the 14th amendment.
    The so-called “Frist provision” - named after the (…)

    A three-judge panel rejected a U.S. appeal because Congress ignored a WTO order to scrap the tax breaks. The EU challenged the U.S. law because it phases out the 10-year export benefits over 12 (…)

    By Harold Meyerson
    Everybody talks about globalization; nobody ever does anything about it. The world labor market looms over every horizon with its promise of cheaper goods and lower pay. The public is skeptical, rightly, about the benefits of globalization, but the process of harnessing it, of writing enforceable rules that would benefit not just investors but most of our citizens, is hard to even conceive.
