TILTPAT-BIDHAT4 (051208, Morning)
“Things I‘d Like To Post About Today; But I Don’t Have Any Time ‘4‘â€:
- Gosh, how DO these radicals, including the guy talking with Hamas who was thrown under the bus once caught, get into the campaign of the presidential candidate I refer to as “Mr. BOOHOO-OUCH” (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi†Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters) in the first place? A better question: How many would get into influential government positions in an Obama Administration?
- NixGuy caught news that Airbus is in deep, deep trouble, thanks partially to the strong Euro and weak dollar. That, and it’s a multigovernment-owned enterprise that is all too often more concerned with pleasing politicians and running a jobs program than competing with Boeing.
- Hmmm …. “Perhaps 60% of oil prices today pure speculation.” Another person who has followed this more closely has a credible theory that while Bush opening up the Strategic Reserve wouldn’t affect the underlying supply-demand equation much, it might burst the speculative runup. That’s worth considering.
- Eco-anxiety on the rise — Like someone else, I blame the Pelosi Premium.
- Just what we need — a Gong Show revival. But a traveling Gong that followed the two Democratic presidential candidates around — one that would get struck every time they fudge the truth, or get into personal attacks while pretending they’re above all that — might not be a bad idea.
- Patrick Poole wants to know how a misogynist, intolerant, probable-scam artist (and so much more) gets invited to speak at Sinclair Community College. Good question.
I waas watching Brit Hume’s show tonight and they were talking about the SPR. Jeff Bingaman said something to the effect of “we should stop filling the reserve, it may bring gas prices down 5 cents a gallon, or it may not, but it is worth trying.”
Funny that is his thinking for this situation, but that is one of the main Democrat lines against opening up the small section of ANWR for drilling.

Drill, drill, and drill some more, then refine away. The price will drop just at the threat of the US re-entering the market.
I like Boehner’s “Pelosi Premium.” Too bad the Republicans don’t have enough guts to make it a campaign issue, just a quip on his website. Just look at how the economy has responded to The Democrat Effect in 14 months; imagine what will happen if they control everything with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. The market may collapse the day after the election.
