Today someone I don't know, but who works for a company I've had dealings with, was kind enough to send me his entire email contact list. Actually, it looks more like the entire Outlook contact list for his employer. But either way...

My belief is that, unless your business IS politics, it is always best not to mix the two. Since this fellow has decided to cross that line, I believe he deserves - at the very least - a good hearty fact-checking.

Follow me past the Satanic Squiggle of Schadenfreude if you'd like to contribute to the effort.

Oil extraction and consumption is a very complex issue, and ~~I am not~~ this diary is not intended to be that deep. This is not to say that peak oil is not a worthy topic for discussion, or that our love/hate relationship with the ~~Revolutionary Dictator~~ Legally Elected President of Venezuela Chavez should not be debated, nor that any dependence upon Iran, another nation we love to hate, should not be given long and hard consideration.

Global climate change is real, and clearly we need to take action now - including the reduction of our dependence on petroleum - assuming it is not already too late.

But this diary isn't about that either, it is simply about the greed and hypocrisy of the oil producers, a rant by any name, and there is more over the fold...

A quick hit-and-run, but something that should be picked up by one of our health care specialists for greater analysis.

An article on CBS News discusses something that should come as no surprise: that the US is

behind its closest competitors because of health care that costs too much and delivers too little

... Or your kind thoughts if you don't pray.
Buddhist mantras also welcome.

This is no longer the news it was yesterday afternoon, but in case you hadn't heard, Molly Ivins has been hospitalized in her battle with cancer and could use your prayers.

Updates on the flip...

Caught this link over at Raw Story.

Disclaimer: IANG. However, I have had a number of gay friends over the years and continue to do so. I've been told by several that they would never have willingly choosen the kind of social ostracism they have been subjected to as gays. While I lack the direct knowledge I'm willing to accept the word of people with actual experience.

Since the incidence of homosexuality among the human population is roughly the same as the incidence of left-handedness, I have to assume that there is some underlying biological mechanism for each, and that being gay is no more wrong than being left-handed. Of course, until the latter part of the last century left-handed school children in this country were forced to write with their right hands, because left handedness was "wrong". Still is that way in a lot of countries.

Well. It's been quite a week, hasn't it? I think it's about time to see something a little less serious for a change.

What do you do when you really want to try out some nifty new weaponry that might violate some quaint old treaty, but you don't want to catch the blowback from it?

Easy! You pass it off to an ally and let them use it. There are some indications that Israel may have used experimental weapons in Gaza.

Once again yesterday we were treated to breathless press accounts of an Aer Lingus jet effecting an emergency evacuation because of a bomb threat.

Dick Butler, head of ground operations with Aer Lingus, said a man with a strong Dublin accent told Gardai there was a liquid explosive on board the aircraft.

Today, news reports indicate it was a false alarm; perhaps a practical joke, perhaps something more sinister. Read More

And best of all it's all posted in one place! On the CBS News web page there are two articles linked; one a news lead out of Israel, the other a ~~bullshit~~ opinion piece from the NRO. Taken together, the constitute some of the most humorous reading you're likely to do today, under the heading of 'What Planet did you wake up on this morning'? Read More

A few months ago I upgraded my home computer from Norton AV 2004 (which worked just fine) to 2006. Following installation, something was familiar to me, and I said 'what is it exactly?'. Then I remembered - NAV 2006 reminded me of early Norton System Works - you know, the world's best marketed virus? The software that utilized 60% of your computer's resources "making sure everything was alright"?
