THE HALF-WIT A man owned a small farm in Tennessee. The Tennessee Dept. of Labor claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him. 'I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,' demanded the agent. 'Well,' replied the farmer...

If additional drilling by Petrobras, as Petroleo Brasileiro is known, confirms the Tupi and Carioca estimates, the fields together would contain enough oil to supply every refinery on the U.S. Gulf Coast for 15 years. Well aren't you in Brazil lucky boys ? But don't go ordering all your...

Could only happen in you know where AND they would probably win. Makes you think the judge was probably bought. Money talks in that place.

Looks like you for one have given up already and the party is only just started !! Bring on solar electricity and hydrogen for vehicles

I guess the smart money sold their properties in Japan at the height of the bubble. Where is the smart money these days ? Maybe already in gold and other metals ? with more upside expected ?

Hate to mention it in such sensitive times but it could mean going back to work in real jobs again ! Oh dear ! You know - making things etc.

Should have been there and bought a couple of skyscrapers !!

Surely if one lives in the USA and has some spare cash NOW is a very good time to buy property, with extra low prices and people being forced to sell. One person's disaster can be another's goldmine ?

Perhaps the economy managed to pull through successfully in the past despite poor politicians. Maybe thats it - the less they meddle the better ! Or just doing enough to stop it falling flat on its face.

Good luck with the new track Let us know how you get on ??

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Have any of the 3 candidates got a Uni education ? If they had to write their own speeches, it might be more interesting.

With the US and the rest of the world is reeling from the credit crunch John Mac is talking up tax cuts for the rich. Is he on the same planet as the rest of us or sadly slipping into his dotage ?

A reformed Nutmeg - hardly likely A cleaned up Nutmeg - are you kidding At this rate he'll be off to church soon - oh my God !!!!!!!!

One of the best I ever heard of is - the man who put the financial listing page of the newspaper on the bottom of his budgie's cage. Where it bombed first he bought. Reckon it never failed !

Thanks guys. I would like to think Europe would if it could, return the favour before Chinese Communism or Taliban extremism takes over for a new Dark Age. If only we could stop you guys from committing hari kiri by meddling all over the world. First Asia, now Middle East - that only leaves...

From far away it is obvious that the USA era of dominance is drawing to a close. What a waste. What a shame. Nearly a great blessing to the rest but flawed here and there so much so that all the cracks will imho cause a fatal collapse. Every mariner knows that in Arctic waters the build up of...

Here in the UK our chief moron has raised the tax on the lowest income group. Maybe he thinks they should be proud to support the rest and the Iraq war etc. We didn't even elect him. He took over from the US's poodle ( now on a huge salary from JP Morgan ) to swan about the world talking to old...

Just scimmed through these interesting posts about energy needs. Nowhere do I see a mention of hydrogen. Burns 100% clean and is easily made with ANY water, including seawater and electricity. No need to devastate whole areas for the growing of crops to provide ethanol. Apparently the rising...
