No doubt John McCain does NOT want Americans to know the details behind the spiraling higher costs of oil and then refined gasoline due to oil speculation. John McCain has direct ties to the creation of the oil speculation loop hole and has strategically placed his Senate votes to mask his oil speculation ties and mislead the American public on it s history and his knowledge about it.
Yet another GOP scandal involving corruption in which legislation has adversely affected yet again the American taxpayer's wallets – this time with Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. Many have said for years - as goes Alaska, goes the nation in Presidential elections. Republican Senator Stevens, the first sitting U.S. senator to face federal indictment since 1993, has been indicted on seven counts of falsely reporting hundreds of thousands of dollars in services he received from a International Oil Services company Veco Corporation. Alaska senator on charges - “I am innocent”.
No doubt President Bush and his entire NeoCon White House, as well as the stupendous GOP affable mouthpieces Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Haggerty would rather be dead, than be caught talking with sincere civility to suspected enemies of the state (one of the reasons the United States failed unilateral
foreign policy has been so detrimental to worldwide stability), and the same failed U.S. policies that are so diametrically counter/opposed to Barack Obama’s U.S. + the world partnership in which his recent Berlin speech clearly proposed.
Barack Obama delivered a major foreign policy speech in 30-minutes to 200,000 enthusiastic onlookers and supporters at the base of the “Victory Column” - the Siegessäule in the middle of a roundabout called the Grosser Stern in the Tiergarten Park - Berlin’s sprawling park in the center of the city. When a reporter asked the senator if he considered the address a campaign event, he said with a puzzled look: “As opposed to?” “It’s not a political rally,” he added. “Hopefully, it will be viewed as a substantive, articulation of the relationship I’d like to see between the United States and Europe. I’m hoping to communicate across the Atlantic the value of that relationship and how we need to build on it.”The entire text (added bonus pictures also from the Berlin Speech), to the Obama Berlin speech is down loadable at end of this narrative.
Grayjing is the nickname given to Beijing for it’s serious air pollution problems. Most of us have heard about by now the unusually smoggy conditions polluting Beijing’s (population 11 million), air - but seeing the conditions makes you wonder if the Chinese are going to be able to pull off their so called "blue sky days" during the 2008 Summer Olympics scheduled to start August 8th. Government claims have previously stated that the number of "blue sky days", when smog levels are lower than normal -less than 100 on a scale of 500 API (Air Pollution Index), has increased to around 240 days annually.
Yacrosoft or Michoo – too Icahnish?
When America was once prosperous, not too long ago and most U.S. industries had at least a bright near-term economic future, the greedy class of American could enrich themselves privately, away from the media and general public – but, those times have changed. This recent statement in The Washington Post article says it all - “Icahn, who owns a 5 percent stake in Yahoo, emphasized he still believes a sale of all or part of Yahoo may still be the best way for the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company to lift its sagging stock price.”
No mention whatsoever has been discussed publicly of what to fix that people don’t like about Yahoo that may be causing the lack of financial windfall that Carl Icahn believes he should benefit from by investing in Yahoo, the well liked consumer based Internet icon stock.
The 2008 Summer Olympics emblem is known as "Dancing Beijing" The 2008 Games of the XXIX Olympiad, August 8th - 24th, are the 19th version of the summer games. 205 countries of the total 221 around the world are participating in these Olympics. The circle and square symbolize antagonism in China between heaven and the earth.

Microsoft's Airball Strategy - $32B+ Loss Increasing
“airball: The corporate version of a cat hairball. Someone who makes lots of noise, disrupts everything, has the potential to make a big mess - but ultimately does nothing.”
To be sure, we are referring to the Microsoft hostile takeover fiasco over Yahoo, urged on by Carl Icahn.
