After Bill/Hillary’s speeches and Spielberg’s film, get ready for a dem bounce coming to a poll near you within the next few days or so. I am pleased the mccain camp decided to inaccurately portray the party as broken/split pre-convention as seen originally on BccList.com here.

Update: The aforementioned bounce officialy seen here…

Of course, US crude stockpiles fell unexpectedly last week.  And, don’t forget about that hurricane that won’t have any impact to our access to oil.  Gotta love speculation.

Due to a resistance (technically speaking) at $125 a barrel, oil shouldn’t climb above $120-$125 a barrel and should steeply fall after the hurricane passes without any true impact to our supply.  Sell high around $120 a barrel and buy back lower around $100-$110 (or less) a barrel.

Kucinich is crazy as a cat – e.g. the UFO sighting he reported and bouncing all over the stage during this clip – but, it was a good speech from last night.

Digg, thank you.

Leo Dicaprio – it’s time for a sequel…

“For years, African militias have used proceeds from precious natural resources to fund conflicts – a practice dramatized in the 2006 Hollywood film “Blood Diamond.” Now, there’s a new twist: blood cows.

Warring rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo are stealing and selling livestock to finance a conflict sparked by spillover from the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which 800,000 were killed.

“It’s just like the mining resources,” says Alpha Sow, head of the local office of the United Nations Mission in Congo (MONUC). “Part of this money goes to buy munitions.”

Gervais Ruhubika and his partners, who have a small farm in army-controlled territory outside Goma, saw their herd dwindle from 200 to 120. To make matters worse, Congolese soldiers also claimed a stake in the cows.

“Every morning,” he says, “they came and demanded almost all the milk.”

RealClearWorld, thank you.

Sane:

“Weeping, Dawn Yingling, a 44-year-old single mother from Indianapolis, said that the speech was “fabulous” but that she still isn’t going to work for the Obama campaign. “She was fabulous, nothing less than I expected. It’s hard to sit here and think about she would have accomplished. We’re not stupid — we’re not going to vote for John McCain,” she said. But she’ll limit her campaigning to a House candidate. “It will take a Congress as well as a president. That’s what I can do and be true to who I am.”

Insane:

“I hate Obama so much that I’m going to devote as much time to McCain as I did to Hillary,” said Adita Blanco, a Democrat from Edward, Okla., who has never voted for a Republican. “Obama has nothing. He has no experience. The Democratic Party doesn’t care about us. You couldn’t treat [Clinton] any worse.”

I’ll assume there are more sane voters than insane voters.  We can only hope…hahahahah!
