Very disturbing article in the Telegraph.

Fears of dollar collapse as Saudis take fright
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, International Business Editor

Saudi Arabia has refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve for the first time, signalling that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom is preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risks setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East.

Thank you, George.

In a surprise announcement

Sen. Larry Craig (R- Concourse C, Stall 3) says that he will follow through with his intention to leave the Senate. He has accepted a "position" as the color commentator for Men's Extreme Twister on ESPN13.

"Left foot, blow, I mean blue!" he did not add with a wink.

This is from Think Progress. Colonel Codpiece has indicated that he would like to serve in Iraq.

The Washington Post’s Dan Froomkin highlights comments made recently by President Bush to a group of military bloggers. Blogger “N.Z. Bear” reported that Bush told the group he wishes he could be serving in Iraq — except that he’s too old: Responding to one of the bloggers in Iraq he expressed envy that they could be there, and said he’d like to be there but “One, I’m too old to be out there, and two, they would notice me.”

This is such hogwash. It boggles the mind that this draft dodging, duty avoiding piece of excrescence could even form the words. We all know he is a chickenhawk of the yellowest belly. Have the bald heads finally got to him?

A bemused Vladimir Putin looks on as George Bush tries to explain to Condaleeza Rice just what he is doing with the milking machine.

"It vas badenov when the first lady stopped to check out the AI* technology," Putin forgot to say.

When asked about his post senate plans, Larry Craig says that he plans to do more camping. His customized travel trailer is shown above.

Gobble, gobble, gobble

Young republicans discuss their strategy following the resignation of Idaho's senator Larry Craig. (gobble, gobble)

I'm baaack

I should go away more often. I got more comments for leaving than I do for my snark. Morse pegged it, Idaho, and Mr. Debakey confirmed it by looking at the image names. (cheater!)

I'm back, did I miss anything...? But seriously the news in Idaho is interesting, for some reason it was all Craig all the time. You'd think he was a hypocritical (partly) gay republican who got caught trying to hook up in a men's room or something.

And I did layover in the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport on the way out. And the answer is no. Too bad I didn't know what news was about to break or I would have taken some pictures. As airports go, it's more mall-like than most, good selection of foods, and you can even buy fried cheese curds at the A&W. It's sad when the airports are the highlight of the travel. Airplanes are only marginally less crowded than a Tokyo subway.
