And oldie, but goodie!

No… no… not litterly of course, but he sure let the world know his grandma is a racist.

I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe…”

Now, it’s true that older folk tend to be more divided when it comes to race then folk our age, but seriously people, does he want to be president so bad that he tells the world that his own grandma is a racist? Nice.

Wooo!! Check it out! Justices Appear Skeptical Of D.C.’s Handgun Ban.

A majority of the Supreme Court indicated a readiness yesterday to settle decades of constitutional debate over the meaning of the Second Amendment by declaring that it provides an individual right to own a gun for self-defense.

Such a finding could doom the District of Columbia’s ban on private handgun possession, the country’s toughest gun-control law, and significantly change the tone and direction of the nation’s political battles over gun control.

It’s not like the gun bad was working anyway. The only people who don’t have handguns in D.C. are law abiding citizens. It hasn’t stopped any gun crime in that hell hole.

Kennedy expressed, at least three times during the argument, his disbelief that the Framers had not been also concerned about the ability of “the remote settler to defend himself and his family against hostile Indian tribes and outlaws, wolves and bears and grizzlies and things like that.”

Take that bears!!

Conn. Student Suspended For Buying Candy In School

An eighth-grade honors student at a New Haven school has been suspended for buying a bag of candy at school.

Michael Sheridan, a student at Sheridan Middle School, was suspended from school for one day, barred from attending an honors student dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president.

Officials say he was punished because he bought a bag of Skittles from another student.

A school spokeswoman says the New Haven school system banned candy sales and fundraisers in 2003 as part of the district-wide school wellness policy.

Schools should concentrate on… you know.. actually teaching students instead of being candy nazi’s.

Heh, Governor Eliot Spitzer is “Client #9“. He got caught up in a prostitution ring. (Personally I think it should be legal, but it ain’t, so he’s boned.)

The headline on the Drudge Report simply said Client #9, which for some reason made me think of the song Mambo #5. Not sure why, but the chorus of that song actually fits with the current situation.

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita’s all I need
A little bit of Tina’s what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

First off, what does this say about the skills of the Governor. When Billy Clinton was Gov of Arkansas he got all kinds of free tail. Sure, it was trailer park trash tail, but what do you expect? It’s Arkansas. If the Gov. of New Friggen York can’t get all the free tail he wants, well, he must be the words biggest dork.

Heh, the place was called the Emperor’s Club, so at least it sounds like it was high priced tail. If you go by this quote from the affidavit, we should be getting some more “details.”

Additionally, the affidavit notes that after her appointment with Client-9 ended, “Kristen” spoke with a Emperors Club booker, who said that she had been told that Client-9 “would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe…” “Kristen” responded by saying, essentially, that she could handle guys like that.

Dorf to Spitzer… you’re boned.

Cause I’m freeeeeeeeeee…. Freeeeeeeee fallin’

Or at least says Bob Krumm

For Barack Obama’s sake it’s a good thing that Pennsylvania is still six weeks off because his campaign is in a free fall.

Then there is this:

For all the chatter about Obama adviser Samantha Power’s calling Clinton a “monster,” another set of remarks made on her book tour in the United Kingdom may be equally threatening to the Obama campaign: Comments in a BBC interview that express a lack of confidence that Obama will be able to carry through his plan to withdraw troops from Iraq within 16 months.

“He will, of course, not rely on some plan that he’s crafted as a presidential candidate or a U.S. Senator,” she said at one point in the interview.

So, says one thing to get the nomination, but will do the opposite if he gets elected. That seems like politics as usual to me. Wait, let me say the word change 5 or 6 more times and you will magiclly forget… change change change change change change……

Oil Bubble About to Pop?

The flood of speculative investment into oil markets is inflating a price bubble that could pop and send crude prices sharply lower if U.S. petroleum demand continues to slump, analysts warned yesterday.

Crude prices continued their remarkable rally yesterday, rising 95 cents (U.S.) to close at another record high of $105.47 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

But the boom could be setting the stage for its own undoing, many analysts argue, since it is being fuelled by speculators looking to hedge against a declining U.S. dollar and devalued financial assets. Some analysts are forecasting a sharp correction in the price of crude this spring.

“It’s hard to argue that prices should be higher [now] than they were not too long ago,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy and Economic Research Inc., of Cambridge, Mass., who has forecast that crude markets are set for a massive correction that could eventually bring prices as low as $50 a barrel.
