Double-A - 19 Oct 2005 11:49 GMT
Saddam's trial started this morning, and the first thing Saddam did was
to refuse to give his name when asked by the judge.  Instead he
launched into a diatribe.

I can see this trial is going to be a barrel of laughs!

I hope they have that release mechanism on the scaffold trap door lubed
up real well!  My understanding is that there will be no lethal
injection for Saddam; he's going to swing!

I don't know, I didn't get it

Betthoeven -- It's a really cute handle.  I wonder who it really is.

BTW
I have little respect for people who work for legalization of
marijuana.  Mostly
they are just selfish.  They should work for anarchy and the
legalization
of all
drugs.   Govt should not be any more paternalistic w respect to these
drugs
than they are for tobacco or alcohol.  They should regulate it.  And
damn there
should be a HUGE corporation behind each of these products which rapes
the users for their sin and euphoria and then pumps back the proceeds
in the way of medical
insurance, welfare costs and personal injury suits.  That social
insurance is
better footed by the corporations that make money off this than the
taxpayer and
the govt.  I can only dream..., I often get
tired of
this legalize marijuana thing.  Every pd you know wishes they would
legalize it
all, even tho paradoxically it would put them out of biz.  It's the
DA's and
cops and court soc workers, court psychologists and probation workers
who cannot
afford the PDs view.    Truth is there is plenty of crime to go around
for
us all
to be employed

SURE!
Some women love shoe stores and dress shops, so do I, and I would
prefer an account to a store that sells those instead of plants.

It's going to be an expensive winter to stay warm

please plan accordingly

US raises winter oil forecast to near $70

By Javier Blas in London
(The Financial Times)
Published: September 7 2005 19:11

     The US government on Wednesday raised its crude oil price forecasts
for this winter to near $70 a barrel, and above $60 a barrel for 2006, and
said US energy expenditures for 2005 would reach their highest level in 18
years.

     The US Energy Department said that the jump in oil, natural gas,
petrol and heating oil prices would increase this year’s national energy
expenditures to 8.3 per cent of gross domestic product, up from 6.2 per cent
in 2002.

     “Dramatic increases in domestic energy costs, assisted by everything
from tight world oil markets, to blistering summer heat, to the ravages of
Hurricane Katrina, have made for an exasperating summer for many consumers
and have set the stage for a potentially expensive winter heating season,”
the department said in its monthly markets report.

     Before the hurricane, the Energy Information Administration – the
department’s statistics office – had forecast oil prices averaging $56.70 a
barrel in 2006.

     EIA forecasts now show oil prices averaging $63.50 a barrel next year.

     The report said that oil supply from the Gulf of Mexico was not
expected to recover until November or December, but that lower energy
demands would surface, as high oil and natural gas prices begin to slow
economic growth.

     “Hurricane Katrina caused significant direct damage to offshore rigs,
refineries, pipelines, and ports in the Gulf of Mexico, with widescale
electricity outages and flooding exacerbating the already devastated
infrastructure, compounded by the evacuation of thousands of employees,” the
EIA warned.

     Oil and petrol prices rose yesterday as the International Energy
Agency, the industrial countries’ oil monitor, revealed that petrol would
make up less than 20 per cent of the emergency stockpile 2m barrels a day
release approved last week.

     The bulk of the stock draw will be crude oil, with middle distillates
such as heating oil, diesel and fuel oil also accounting for a large share.

     US oil futures lost ground on Wednesday owing to prospects of lower
oil demand as high energy prices slow the US economy.

     On Nymex, West Texas Intermediate crude contracts for October delivery
lost $1.59 in late trading, ending the day at $64.37 a barrel.

I have studied this long and hard: The world is ending... maybe as soon as
