Ford to open new plant in Mexico

This may be surprising, considering the source, but I do NOT entirely blame Bush for what is now occurring with a vengeance. All he and Cheney did was move up the timetable from around 2015 or so to the 2007-08 era.

I am absolutely SURE, neither one being of or having any real military background (especially not 5-deferment Dick), they believed their own rhetoric about Iraq being a cakewalk and that by no later than 2005 there would be 6 million barrels a day exported rather than less than 2 million as is actually the case (it was 3.5 million under UN sanctions).

So instead of reaching Peak Oil in 2015 or later, it began hitting in around 2005 (number of barrels per day worldwide has plateaued since that year while demand continues to increase). If "they" ever stabilize Iraq and begin pumping at the rate Dick always thought they would right off the bat, things would get a little better temporarily.

Pessimistic predictions of future oil production operate on the thesis that the peak has already occurred[4][5][6][7] or will occur shortly[8]proactive mitigation may no longer be an option, predict a global depression, perhaps even initiating a chain reaction of the various feedback mechanisms in the global market which might stimulate a collapse of global industrial civilization. In early 2008 there are signs that a possible recession will be made worse by rising oil prices.[9] and, as


The U.S. is screwed worse than practically any other country on earth because of its size and the way everyone has moved to suburbia. But this "screwed" process will play out for the rest of our lives. There is no way to reverse the clock and build infrastructure wisely and in an energy-efficient manner. We now go to hell with the infrastructure we have, to paraphrase Rumsfeld ("we go to war with the army we have").

I remember when everyone started buying SUVs. Trucks were always around, but SUVs are a craze that began around 1990 or so. A lot of women wanted one because it made them feel better about themselves to tower over others in traffic. No joke. Then when there was a "critical mass" of them on the road, others had to buy them in order to feel safe in a crash. You didn't want to be driving a Ford Focus when you inevitably crashed into the Suburban (much less on foot).

So it became an "arms race" of energy inefficiency, leaving soccer moms screwn forever. Now no one wants their SUV, which is mostly parked in the driveway these days.

If I'm a hillbilly redneck (which I'm not, but I live among thousands of them), I am thinking "why is peace necessarily a good thing?"

"Them peaceful people is likely to be faggots or something."

Cliff Richard & Olivia Newton-John - SUDDENLY

Olivia Newton-John in her prime was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I've always liked Cliff, too.

What Does RFK's Assassination Have to Do with It?

She has just made herself THE prime suspect should what she is hinting at occur.

Evil incarnate. That's what this is. A white she-devil.

And I am not an Obamaphile. I have no hope in politics whatsoever, but this was BEYOND THE PALE.

Red State Update: Hillary Clinton Racist?

Unelectable (a tribute to Barack Obama)

Probably true.

The part at the end where the GOPers thank the Dems for another four years is not true, though.

I don't think the GOPers even WANTED it this time. They will preside over the denouement into nothingness of this once-great republic, now an authoritarian Third World police state spending its last lines of credit with disgusted overseas financiers in an aimless effort to steal oil.

I didn't write it, but this is "spot on"

Consider the beauty of the myth most Americans Believe with regard to 911.

America, the modern worlds technological leader is effectively attacked by some of the most technologically backward people on earth. America then fights back by attacking 2 countries that, even according to the American constructed 911 myth, had NOTHING to do with the Sept 11 attack!!

Amazingly this illegal invasion is cheered on by most Americans and a good part of the so called civilized world.

America invades both of those countries and finds NO real organized military capable of resisting for more than 2 weeks. Yet most Americans ignore the fact that we attacked 2 countries that clearly had nothing to do with 911!

It become clear that neither of these countries were any kind of threat to anyone. Yet inspite of this knowledge. America refuses to pull its armies out and go home!
It would seem that inspite of our insanity or maybe because of our mass insanity we actually believe that Iraqis what our form of democracy!!!!

Just to prove that the USA NEVER NEVER learns America has gone so far as to decide that Iraqs neighbor Iran is the REAL threat. Maybe they are building Atomic weapons, maybe they are supplying arms to some Iraqis who oppose the US occupation. Maybe, maybe, maybe...SO, AMerica gathers its forces...looking for an opportunity to attack Iran. My question....IS there a doctor in the house?

Matt Simmons (Bloomberg): Peak Oil Now, Oil Perhaps to $300

From the last day of January last year. Note how they are talking about crude oil then at $65 a barrel. Note where it is today.

America: Ruled By Isolated, Sadistic, Ignorant, Sociopaths

http://thedailyburkeman1.blogspot.com/2008/04/america-ruled-by-isolated-sadistic.html


The "good news" is that the sociopaths are so incompetent and so hopelessly indebted to foreigners that they will soon run out of suckers to finance their world domination schemes.

The "bad news" is that the U.S. will then be akin to Argentina with nukes. And one of the sociopaths (likely Juan McInsane after his landslide victory in November, although one should not discount the megatonnage Hillary Clinton has also recently promised to unleash) will no doubt fire them off, ending civilization.

Americans think only our nukes will explode properly. Russia's are all duds, in spite of all those successful tests we've witnessed since 1949. I don't know how many times I've heard one of our "good ol' boys" here in East Texas say, "'We' need to 'finish the job' over there in Eye-Rack."

By that they mean "we" need to start detonating the nukes (not just lob depleted uranium shells; give them the fortified variety) on these hapless people (who are not considered human in the Talmud, sacred book of our overlords in Israel who ordered the invasion) who never asked to be invaded in the first place.

This is what a "Christian nation" has come to. We did not "beware the Judaizers." They took us over.
