In The News: Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio files. » With twelve days to go the debt limit 'dog and pony show' continues with the president having called the top Democrats into a meeting yesterday morning and the the top republicans met with him in the evening. Pelosi and Boehner are planning a press conference in the next few hours as it seems some sort of deal has been reached. Stand by to see if the "Cut Cap and Balance" act is on the front burner of that deal. As noted yesterday in the synopsis the "Gang of Six" package offered is great for the rich and makes the poor poorer. Then they'll take the weekend off doing whatever it is that politicians do on their weekends while emergency negotiations are in progress regarding America's ability to pay it's debts. Harry Reid is not amused. » Not only not a declared war... It's not even on the congressional discussion list - The Yemeni government has just allowed the U.S. to take control of their war on the South of the country where US air strikes are in progress NOW. The airstrikes hit a convoy two days ago and allegedly almost killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the American Muslim cleric with an assassination order hanging over him despite his never having committed any crime nor been accused of one. There are also reports that another al Qaeda leader may have been killed. » The Space Shuttle Atlantis has returned from the program's 135th mission marking the end of the shuttle program. It will be two or three years until anything NASA has in planning gets off the ground. Until then we'll be riding "Rockets From Russia". » The first hearings are happening on Capitol Hill in regard to the Marriage Protection Act which will create a federal rule requiring states to acknowledge each other's legal marriages... Including Gay marriage. » Crime and Punishment in America... "That's how Capitalism works" edition - Have you ever been subject to, or do you know anyone who received a five year prison sentence for possession of Marijuana? Or sentenced to jail for a year for failure to pay child support? Yesterday in a New York court, the largest insider trading/fraud prosecution in US history netted the perpetrator 2.5 years. In OTHER News:

This is the way the world ends for the OECD, the nations that affected to be developed and civilized. This phase of globalism is certainly not the end of history, but it is looking like the end of accounting tricks, and possibly democracy, which has discredited itself with accounting tricks. At a certain point in time, the sickening recognition sets in that appearances are not the same as reality - and then, all of a sudden, you're in a political maelstrom. Citizens of the various lands will discover that the money being argued over, shifted around from column A to column B, assigned to this or that actuarial table or budget line or account or obligation or vault or "structured vehicle"- that money is just ... not ... there. There's no money. It was pretend money. From now on, none of you will get paid. Imagine a world where nobody gets paid.
