    Close your eyes, open the lion's cage, and walk in and pet the lions. He's talking about 'The Happening.' Lame movie.

    "Slowest growth in oil demand in 6 years" to drive tanker rates down 65%

    Right. I agree almost completely. With one caveat: Viewing the past six years, they said the growth rate in oil demand/usage is now at its low point. But yes, the fact that they chose to build and float so many ships certainly is helping (an understatement) to drive tanker rates down as...

    "Slowest growth in oil demand in 6 years" to drive tanker rates down 65%

    I agree. I think Pekelo's questions of me go to the issue of oil demand/usage, when I'm not the one making the statement that apparently generated some interest. Frontline did.

    "Slowest growth in oil demand in 6 years" to drive tanker rates down 65%

    Well, the article quotes (presumed) insiders in high places at one of the largest shipping firms in the world, who claim that they're seeing the "slowest growth in oil demand" in six years. I don't think changing the word "demand" with "usage" would materially affect the meaning, do you? If...

    Tell me about North Carolina

    We're thinking about a move, too. Probably to Charlotte, since most professional opportunities seem to exist there, with a lot of multinationals having NA HQs there, although we haven't ruled out Raleigh, maybe? Anything significant changed in terms of housing prices, taxes, pollution...

    "Slowest growth in oil demand in 6 years" to drive tanker rates down 65%

    I don't think I misread anything. In fact, the first post contains only a link and a quote. "The increase in vessels will combine with the slowest growth in oil demand for six years as the global economy loses steam, driving tanker rates 65 percent lower by 2010, futures contracts show."...

    McCain Married Well, Taxpayers Pay Him $12k, Wife Pays Him $500k/mo

    I'm appalled. A man who refers to others in terms that are much more appropriate to himself? Quick, call Limbaugh and O'Reilly. Wait a minute. They are sort of in the same boat regarding this habit.

    It really is the best time to buy

    As I like to say, correctly or not... ..."it really is the right time to buy when a random, 60 year old man, spits a loogie into your face as he casually overhears you mention the words 'stocks' or stock market' in a public discussion, probably because he has just lost much of his...

    Problems with Guantanamo

    I agree wholeheartedly. And believe me, I am no bleeding-heart liberal. What this administration is doing is attempting to 'back-door' and circumvent core principles, such as 'habeus corpus,' that have distinguished the American System of due process as better than any other. "The guy's...

    Financial Times: Depression is Possible If Central Banks Don't Force a Recession

    That's a good catch, and a thorough follow-through. I think that I now have to reinterpret some aspects of the original article, but I don't know how to come to any under conclusion other than a full flown depression is possible when the author writes: I'll just quote his conclusion (which...

    WTC Bldg 7: Gov. Report; 'Fire' Collapsed It (1st Steel Skyscraper Fire Collapsed)

    No. Building 7 wasn't impacted by a jet, which was 'a' cause, nor exposed to the temperatures generated by jet fuel, which were alleged causes of the reasons the other two buildings fell. Building 7 essentially is claimed to have fallen in upon itself due to conventional fires burning on...

    Wall Street Journal: Credit Crisis To Worsen Dramatically, Taking Down Wall Street

    For anyone worried about viruses, that's a direct link to the Wall Street Journal Online. I guess you could to the WSJ Online, and manually find the article, but it will pull up the same link anyways. About this credit crisis, UBS/Credit Suisse was just ordered to set aside an additional...
