Try front page of Market Watch July 25th. S&P downgrades Fanny and Freddy to AA-, among others.

I think I love you.

Check out Dow Chemical. They have had two upward movements in pricing of their products. Both recent. One was 20% and just yesterday another 25%. That's an appalling 45%. Whatever else you may think about Dow, when you see this kind of thing from a huge company, and you can be sure they're in plenty of company, then you can be very sure even higher inflation for the consumer is just about here. I remember the 70's/early 80's. It's gonna get uglier in a hurry. The government can figure as many lies as they want, it won't change cold hard fact.

Of course Fox/MarketWatch ignores the fact that Ron Paul is still on the ballot. So is Ralph Nader. Besides with the way the votes get counted I figure we'll just have to live with who's elected already. Are YOU SURE your last vote counted? And since when should major media ignore any registered candidate and not give them equal time? When was the last time that happened?

Israel certainly didn't apologize, in fact nobody said anything, about the surgical airstrike within Syria fairly recently. Furthermore when Bush was there last he embarrassed the whole world by saying that the US would love and defend Israel forever, just before he stopped off in Saudi to beg for more and cheaper oil. We're gonna get dropped on our ever thinning wallets, war or no war.
