Size Comparison of Celestial Objects
Within each picture, size is listed from largest to smallest.
Adam sent me the following images a couple of weeks back. I think they're great they really do show the sense of scale much more than
just using circles.The Earth compared with our rather warmer, greenhouse of a twin, Venus. The baron, yet once water covered Mars.
Mercury which was smashed to bits by an impact leaving a large iron core, and Pluto, which we don't know much about.Next up we bring in
the gas giants, Jupiter and my favourite Saturn as well as Uranus and Neptune.The Sun makes even the gas giants look like ping pong balls.Think the Sun is big? Think again, it'll get pretty big in the future, swallowing Mercury and Venus, perhaps the Earth, when it becomes
a Red Giant like Arcturus shown here.But it will never get anywhere near as big as the Super Giants, which live very short lives, and end in
the most catastrophic way imaginable, in a massive supernova explosion, throwing its ashes throughout the galaxy, the very atoms we're made of was made in these massive stars and thrown across the galaxy in the explosion, the shockwave probably causing clouds of gas
and dust to collapse and create solar systems. The core of the star will be a super-dense neutron star or a pulsar, if the star was massive enough it may even form a black hole.Categories: Science 23rd June 2006 16:53:39, 231 words, 7865 views

This is an excellent remix/satire. Not only is it very smart, with a pointed critique of right wing media hypocrisy
that totally hits the nail on the head, but it’s excellently edited, so much so that except for the radio clips
themselves, you sometimes almost forget you’re watching a new work. As one YouTube reviewer sums it up:
“What makes this such a triumph isn’t merely the social commentary or the humor that comes from the unlikely
juxtaposition — both of which are great — it’s that you accomplished those things while staying true to the form
and spirit of a Disney short of that era. This is as enjoyable for a hardcore animation fan as it is for a politically
thoughtful person.”

rebelliouspixels — October 02, 2010 —
A re-imagined Donald Duck cartoon remix constructed using 50 classic Walt Disney animated shorts from the 1930s through 1960s. Donald's life is turned upside-down by the current economic crisis and he finds himself unemployed and falling behind on his house payments. As his frustration turns into despair Donald discovers a seemingly sympathetic voice coming from his radio named Glenn Beck. Will Donald's feelings of disenfranchisement lead him to be persuaded by his radio's increasingly paranoid and divisive rhetoric? Or will our favorite Disney duck decide that this voice is not actually on his side after all? Watch and find out! • Listen to Glenn Beck's response on his radio show to this remix video:YouTube via stopbeck.org - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHHByFFSh54• Better yet check out ikat381's remix of Beck's response using Mickey Mouse:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbjjTLVrkKAThis transformative remix work constitutes a fair-use of any copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US copyright law.

" I tried hard to be proud of my service, but all I could feel was shame. Racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people, these were human beings. I've since been plagued by guilt, any time I see an elderly man, like the one who couldn't walk, who we rolled onto a stretcher, and told the Iraqi police to take him away. I feel guilt any time I see a mother with her children, like the one who cried hysterically, and screamed that we're worse than Saddam, as we forced her from her home. I feel guilt any time I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm, and dragged into the street.
We were told we were fighting terrorists.. the real terrorist was me, and the real terrorism was this occupation. Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country, it has long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government; it is a more important weapon than a rifle, a tank, a bomber, or a battleship; it is more destructive than an artillery shell, or a bunker buster, or tomahawk missile.
While all those weapons are created and owned by this government, they are harmless without people willing to use them. Those who send us to war, do not have to pull the trigger, or lob a mortar round; they do not have to fight the war, they merely have to sell the war. They need a public who's willing to send their soldiers into harm's way. They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed, without question...
They can spend millions on a single bomb, but that bomb only becomes a weapon, when the ranks of the military are willing to follow orders to use it. They can send every last soldier anywhere on Earth, but there will only be a war, if soldiers are willing to fight.. And the ruling class, the billionaires who profit from human suffering, care only about expanding their wealth, controlling the world economy.
Understand that their power lies only in their ability to convince us that war, oppression, and exploitation is in our interest. They understand that their wealth is dependent on their ability to convince the working class to die, to control the market of another country, and convincing us to kill and die, is based on their ability to make us think that we are somehow superior.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, have nothing to gain from this occupation. The vast majority of people living in the U.S. have nothing to gain from this occupation. In fact, not only do we have nothing to gain, but we suffer more because of it. We lose limbs, endure trauma, and give our lives. Our families have to watch flag-draped coffins lowered into the earth.
Millions in this country without health care, jobs, or access to education, have watched this government squander over FOUR-HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS A DAY ON THIS OCCUPATION. [IRAQ]
Poor and working people in this country, are send to kill poor and working people in another country, to make the rich richer; and without racism, soldiers would realize that they have more in common with the Iraqi people, than they do with the billionaires who send us to war.
I threw families onto the street in Iraq, only to come home and find families thrown onto the street in this country, and it's a tragic, and unnecessary foreclosure crisis.
We need to wake up and realize that our real enemies are not in some distant land, they're not people whose names we don't know, and cultures we don't understand. The enemy is people we know very well, and people we can identify. The enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable. The enemy is the CEO's who lay us off from our jobs when it's profitable; it's the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable; it's the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable.
Our enemy is not five thousand miles away, they are right here at home. When we organize, and fight with our sisters and brothers, we can stop this war, we can stop this government, and we can create a better world."

Freedom of speech: Martin Luther King Jr. hails attendees of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on
August 28 1963, at which he delivered his extraordinary, unforgettable speech
Had he lived, three days ago, January 15 2011 would have been US civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.’s 82nd birthday – and, thus, in America today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Over the years since his death in 1968 at the hands of a gunman, King has become one of the most respected figures of the Twentieth Century – if not of all-time. And rightly so. And rightly, too, he’s specifically as well recalled for his ‘I have a dream speech’ as he is for his tragic assassination.
King was a baptist preacher from Atlanta, Georgia, who rose to become a prominent leader of his country’s civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He led a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, opposing the city’s public transport policy of racial segregation and later, in March 1963, led a march of non-violent protest (in part inspired by the protest methods employed by Mahatma Ghandi) in Birmingham, Alabama.
Arrested and imprisoned for his efforts here, he gained national recognition and on August 28 that year, a similar march on the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., took place. The march started at the Washington Memorial, went down the Washington Mall and concluded at the Lincoln Memorial, where the thousands of attendees congregated to hear songs performed by Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and to listen to civil rights leaders, including King. The latter’s speech came last and was brodcast live on television across the United States.
Eloquent, beautiful, powerful and iconic, the speech he made that day – now known simply as the ‘I have a dream’ speech – is surely the world’s most famous and perhaps its best loved. Excerpts of it are etched on the memories of people throughout the world, whether they were alive when it was delivered or were yet to be born. Unquestionably, its words and delivery had an enormous, immediate effect throughout America and – to an extent that is probably impossible to measure, but is undeniable – helped pave the way to the civil rights bill that was passed by the US Congress just two months later and the rolling snowball this set in motion for improved racial tolerance, freedoms and relations in that country and throughout – at least – the Western world.
Here then, folks, to mark Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday is the speech’s text in full and, below that, a video of him delivering it. Do read and view away…

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating “For Whites Only”. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.”
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

Hm. I have mixed feelings about this ultimate example of renaming fish. PETA has a new campaign out to get people to
relate to fish as animals rather than as commodities, which is a noble goal and one I very much support. There are a few
snags with their Save the Sea Kittens campaign, though.
First of all, fish are not domesticated like kittens (or like chickens! So I also have a hang up about tuna being dubbed
"the chicken of the sea"). And I don't think renaming fish as kittens really enhances the mythology around fish (despite
all the accessories). Rather, this new campaign might just get people to think of cute and cuddly kittens or some weird
hybrid like this:

Moon, North Korea & the Bushes
by Robert Parry (Originally published on October 11, 2000) http://www.bartcop.com/1853.htm
consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
Given the nuclear crisis involving North Korea, we are republishing, with minor revisions, this 2000 article
about millions of dollars allegedly funneled from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon - The Washington Times
founder and a Bush family financial backer - to leaders of North Korea's communist dictatorship in the 1990s:
The Rev. Sun Myung Moon's business empire, which includes the right-wing Washington Times, paid millions
of dollars to North Korea's communist leaders in the early 1990s when the hard-line government needed foreign
currency to finance its weapons programs, according to U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents.
The payments included a $3 million "birthday present" to current communist leader Kim Jong Il and offshore
payments amounting to "several tens of million dollars" to the previous communist dictator, Kim Il Sung.
Moon apparently was seeking a business foothold in North Korea, but the transactions also raised potential
legal questions for Moon, who appears to have defied U.S. embargos on trade and financial relations with
the Pyongyang government. Those legal questions were never pursued, however, apparently because of
Moon's powerful political connections within the Republican power structure of Washington, including
financial and political ties to the Bush family.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone
should take part in the effort, and HOME has been
conceived to take a message of mobilization out to
every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron,
the PPR Group, made this possible.
EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make
any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for
the planet.

March 02, 2010 5 Ugly Truths Americans Will Have to Face
(Read WP posts from John Hawkins)(Read MT posts from John Hawkins)
|

"Before I draw nearer to that stone to which you point, answer me one question. Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of the things that May be only?" Still the Ghost pointed downward to
the grave by which it stood. "Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead. But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!" The
Spirit was immovable as ever. -- Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol Even the United States of America is not
immune to the rules of nature and commerce that govern other nations.
Over the last few decades, our country has made some very foolish economic choices. It seems as if we have come to believe that the rest of the world is going to finance our government spending in perpetuity, even as it becomes clear that we have no intention of getting spending under control or paying back our debt. Because
the wheels of history turn very slowly, we've gotten away with this for a long time, but as the baby boomers
are starting to hit retirement age, the time to pay the piper is drawing nigh.
In the next decade or two, we're likely to face a financial crisis more dire than any this nation has ever seen.
What is that going to mean in real terms? It means that barring an unforeseen miracle, our out-of-control
spending is going to lead to some very painful decisions that will make a lot of people, including conservatives, very unhappy. What you're about to read are the ugly truths about what our behavior today means for our country's future.
1) Entitlements must be cut. By 2030, the Congressional Budget Office is estimating that Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid will make up 75% of our budget spending. In other words, unless we get a handle
on entitlement spending, it will be impossible to get our deficits under control. That means the age eligibility
for these programs must be raised and the amount spent per person will need to be dropped to try to close
the gap between what we take in and what we pay out. Given how explosive this issue is politically, it's not
going to be easy to accomplish.
However, it's not realistic to believe that future generations of Americans are going to be willing to live
like indentured servants for decades to support their own personal senior citizen who's lying around in
a hammock somewhere, enjoying a 25 year long retirement. The sooner we start making changes, the
easier it will be on everyone and the less shock there will be to the system when the inevitable changes
start to take place.
2) Our military is going to weaken. By historical standards, the United States is not spending an extraordinary
percentage of our budget on defense. However, we are spending an extraordinary amount of money on defense
for a nation that's flat broke. Is this sustainable? Is China going to keep loaning us the money we need to keep
our military going when it's the only thing standing between them and Taiwan? Are Americans going to keep
spending billions to defend foreign countries that are ungrateful for our help when we don't have enough money
at home? The answer to that question is, "No, we're not." That's a shame -- because the United States military
is doing more to promote world stability than any other 20 nations combined, but we simply can't afford to keep
it up. We'll be forced to cross our fingers, cut back on military spending, and hope that the world doesn't completely
fall to pieces when the sheriff hangs up his guns.
3) Taxes are going up. Ronald Reagan was right when he said that, "The problem is not that people are taxed
too little; the problem is that government spends too much." Unfortunately, we've allowed our government to
spend so far beyond its means for so long that it's going to be almost impossible to close the gap by merely
cutting spending. Taxes must go up on the rich, the middle-class, and, yes, even the poor. The whole idea
that more than 40% of the population can avoid paying any income taxes at all when we're running trillion
dollar deficits is sheer madness. Everybody is going to end up having to pay more -- and sickeningly, it won't
even be for more services; it'll simply be to pay for what we've already spent.
4) Economic growth is going to stagnate. The bigger the government grows and the more it borrows, the less
virile the economy becomes. We've seen this in Western Europe where policies -- of the sort the Obama
Administration is now pursuing -- have led to the kind of perpetual sluggish growth and jobless rates we
associate with economic downturns in this country. As the Congressional Budget Office has said: Large
budget deficits would reduce national saving, leading to more borrowing from abroad and less domestic
investment,
which in turn would depress economic growth in the United States. Over time, accumulating
debt would cause substantial harm to the economy. Less growth means less jobs, less prosperity, and
handing future generations of Americans a country that doesn't hold as much promise as the one that
we grew up in.
5) We will have a world where the United States isn't a super power. As the growth of the US economy slows,
our military declines, and we become ever more dependent on the foreign powers that hold our debt, the United
States will cease to become a super power. We won't have the cashflow to engage in another Marshall Plan,
the manufacturing capacity to gear up as we did in World War II, or the dominant military needed to score
decisive victories over our opponents. Certainly, the United States won't become completely insignificant, but
Reagan's description of our nation as a "shining city" above the rest of humanity will no longer be true.
Instead of being a colossus striding the globe -- we'll be like Russia, China, France, Britain, or Germany --
just one of many.
Are these events that "will be" or "may be?" If we depart from the course our nation is on, will "the ends"
change for our nation or are we too far gone down the road to serfdom? Sadly, we've run so aggressively
towards a socialist oblivion that our country may be on the backside of the mountain and unable to climb
back to the top. Time will tell,but after all the privileges we've had growing up as Americans in this great
nation, we have a solemn duty to bear whatever we must as a country to pass on the promise, the potential,
and the dream of America to future generations

An idea whose time has come
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.
Many citizens had ( HAVE ) no idea that members of Congress could retire with
the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security,
That they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have
passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment)
while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.
The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...
in all of its forms.Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above
the law. YES WE DO, IT'S DEMPUBLICRATS
I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever.
The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.
Have each person contact a minimum of Twenty people on their Address list,
in turn ask each of those to do likewise..In three days, most people in The United States of
America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States
that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress
shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives
that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States".
======================================================
While over 46 million Americans remain uninsured and millions more underinsured,
members of Congress receive health-related services that many in the U.S. will never see.

http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/government/a/proposed_28th_amendment.htm
Analysis:
While this idea may sound good in principle to most Americans and there's some historical truth to the claim that Congress has exempted itself
from certain laws that apply to the rest of us, the case outlined above is largely inaccurate and outdated.
Ever since the passage of the Congressional Accountability Act in 1995 Congress has been answerable to the same civil rights and equal employment regulations that pertain to private businesses. Other alleged disparities, such as those having to do with Congressional retirement provisions and health care coverage, are misrepresented above as well.
Congressional retirement and Social Security
It's false that members of Congress can retire after only one term with full pay, and false that they don't pay into Social Security.
Members elected after 1983 participate in the Federal Employees Retirement System. Members elected before 1983 participate in the
older Civil Service Retirement Program. In both cases, they contribute to the plans at a slightly higher rate than ordinary federal employees. How much members of Congress receive upon retirement depends on their age, length of government service, and the configuration of their plan. All members of Congress pay into Social Security.
Immunity from prosecution for sexual harassment
Once upon a time, members of Congress were exempt from many of the employment and civil rights regulations under which private businesses operate, but no longer, thanks to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. Section 201 includes prohibitions against discrimination baded on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, as well as sexual and other harassment in the workplace.
Congressional health care coverage
It's false that Congress has exempted itself from the provisions of the various health care reform bills introduced in the House and Senate in 2009. According to an analysis by FactCheck.org: "Members of Congress are subject to the legislation’s mandate to have insurance, and the plans available to them must meet the same minimum benefit standards that other insurance plans will have to meet."

 My now eight year-old daughter was given “POP Princesses 2010” – CD and DVD – for her recent birthday. It’s been a massive hit with her and consequently I’ve had a good deal of exposure to it myself. Many of the current diva crop are included – Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Sugababes, Britney Spears, Shakira, The Pussycat Dolls, Cheryl Cole, Girls Aloud and so on. What has struck me most clearly, however, is what a unique performer Lady Gaga is. While most of them could easily be mistaken for each other, their sound world being so similar, Lady Gaga creates something quite different. Thinking about this from an innovation perspective, if you want to be reasonably successful with your offering, you swim with the tide. But if you want to cause a breakthrough you take the greater risk of creating something that either may catch on, as Lady Gaga has, or may equally sink without trace. Of course, Lady Gaga has not only made a different sound, she has given birth to a complete artistic creation, and it may well be other parts of the artwork that have caused the wave to mount up. Will she remain a one-off? Time will tell.

Subject: WTF? Hey Bart, who are these Paris and Nicole creatures? They are rich kids with worldwide fame. What have they EVER
DONE? What do they STAND FOR? Are they SMART? Do they WORK? They have a TV show, but they don't need the salary it pays.
Paris was recently paid $400,000 to attend a party. I work at a job that can KILL ME; nobody's taking pictures of me. How do you look
in a bikini? Who ARE these people? Is this country really that vapid, that stunted, that lame, that NOBODIES are front page news?
Sure... Jesus, God...they aren't even pretty.
They've got the bodies of BOYS...scrawny boys. I think Nicole could use a pizza or two... but I think Paris is attractive and she models clothes better than any supermodel I've ever seen.. If I was the last man on Earth, and they were the last women on Earth, the human race would be FINISHED. *I* would step up and save the human race. Why is anybody paying attention to these drainers-of-life?They sell magazines, newspapers and TV commercials and they generate much-needed page views for tequila treehouses that are barely getting by. About 6 months ago, if you searched for "Paris Hilton" on Google, bartcop.com was the first thing you'd see. The only thing that could make them worse would be if they were Linda Tripp and Katherine Harris.Michael

Despite all her drug problems and husband-in-jail drama, you can’t deny one thing – Amy Winehouse
is a talented woman. Yes, the bouffant hairstyle is a bit shocking to some, but I think that’s actually
where she hides her vocal chords. Although originally denied a U.S. Visa in order to enter the country
and perform at the Grammy Awards, Amy actually got a last-minute Visa but couldn’t make a flight in
time to Los Angeles. It didn’t matter. She wowed the crowds with her live-via-satellite peformance
and won five awards. I wonder if her husband was watching the show in jail. Amy’s now going back
to rehab to continue her treatment and hopefully the high of the Grammys is enough to keep her
going on until the end of her stay.

Jailed Hubby Worried About Amy
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
So now he’s worried. Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband, Blake Fielder Civil, is speaking out
about his worries over his wife’s health. He told News of The World recently that everyday
he fears his prison chaplain is going to tell him that his wife has died. Blake is in the pen
for allegations that he tried to fix a trial. He sounds like a total winner. Blake has confessed
that he and Amy used to have a $1,000 a day drug habit. He’s clean now that he’s in jail,
but honestly, I doubt he’d be clean if he was out of jail. Blake also told NOTW how much he
hates Amy’s dad and thinks he’s shady because he’s on Amy’s payroll. Dude, Amy’s totally
the UK’s Britney. Family members on payroll, shady ex and current husbands, etc. Poor Amy –
she’s also not going to the Grammy Awards, her father told a British newspaper. Amy is
nominated in six categories and it’s a shame she won’t be able to pick up any awards
(I expect her to win at least one), nor perform at the telecast. It’s just as well, though.
She’s still in rehab and it’s a good sign she’s stayed in there longer than a day. I’m a total
Amy fan and I hope she pulls through.

She Went, Yes, Yes, Yes…
Thursday, January 24th, 2008
I honestly didn’t think I would see this happen so soon, but I’m glad it did. Ladies and gents,
Amy Winehouse has officially entered rehab. Here’s what her record label, Universal Records,
announced today: “Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label,
management, family and doctors. She has come to understand that she requires specialist
treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned
appearance at the Grammy Awards. She is nominated in an incredible six categories.” I wish
Amy all the best - she’s an amazing artist and extremely talented. I’d love to hear her voice
for a long time. But let’s get real here, this won’t be Amy’s only time in rehab. There’s such
a slim percentage of folks who enter rehab and get clean after the first try. I wouldn’t put it
past Amy to be one of those folks in that slim percentage, but I’m just being realistic. Alas,
the first time/step is always the hardest step to take, so at least that’s over with. Cheers.

REAL TOUGH TO BELIEVE
Bush has murdered 655,000 Iraqis
Excerpt:
More than 2,660 Iraqi civilians were killed in Baghdad in September,
an increase of 400 over the month before, according to Bush's Iraqi Health Ministry.
The September numbers come as a new study says that 655,000 Iraqis have died
in the three-year-old bloody invasion that has killed 2754 American soldiers.
When asked to comment, Bush dangled his preposition saying,
"Killing people is the only job I've even been good at."

In 73 B.C. Spartacus and other slaves forced to train as gladiators at the Batiatus school got their hands on
some kitchen knives and skewers, overpowered the guards and fled. (To listen to the podcast, click here.)
About 70 made it outside, where they found wagons full of weapons, quickly defeated the Capuan Home
Guard and retreated into the countryside. At first, the authorities were not overly worried, sending militia to exterminate the rebels camped on Mount Vesuvius. Under siege, Spartacus and his troops, now swelled by
other runaways, made ropes from vines, clambered down the other side of the volcano, and attacked the
Romans from the rear, killing most of them. Then they descended on two nearby towns to pillage, burn and
rape. Romans, who lived in close quarters with their slaves, quivered as this rebel army gathered momentum.
It took two years to eliminate the threat, and to make a point, the Romans crucified 6,000 captured slaves
along the Appian Way from Rome to Capua.

THE MYSTIC TIKI
Wooden Ouija Talking Board
by Vampirahna
The MYSTIC TIKI is the world's first-ever Hawaiian Tiki-god inspired ouija board!
Let the MYSTIC TIKI guide you into unexplored and magical worlds. Tiki images are felt to be imbued
with the super-human powers of protection, happiness, and strength of the gods they represent.
The south-pacific peoples' faith in a "greater mind" or "universal power" is embodied within their
representations of man-gods in the various forms of the Tiki. Captured within the MYSTIC TIKI
Talking Board is that same powerful Tiki essence.
(Click on pictures to see a much larger, more detailed version)
The Mystic Tiki is arguably one of the finest traditional-style Ouija boards ever made. The Museum
of Talking Boards has said "it's the nicest wood board we have ever seen, and we've seen quite a
few". It was created by artist Vampirahna, in cooperation with The Zenrad Manufacting Company,
to resurrect the form and spirit of talking boards from the ouija heyday of the early 20th century.
Unlike the lithographed paper or computer-generated boards commonly available today, this board
should endure and still be highly sought-after into the next century.
Vampirahna gained inspiration from one of the world's largest private talking board collections by
studying every significant board in history and adopting their best features for the creation of the
MYSTIC TIKI.
The MYSTIC TIKI is produced by hand in small quantities by skilled craftsmen. The MYSTIC TIKI is
one of the only talking boards in the world still being made using methods close to those used by
William Fuld.
Great care and attention has been given to every detail of this full-sized (15" x 22" x 1/4") talking
board. The time, effort, skill, and material costs of this board are without doubt greater than any
other current or antique talking board.
The warm, irridescent glow is the result of a labour-intensive, multi-layer, hand-rubbed lacquer finish
that sets off the natural beauty of the fine birch veneers.
Please note that this board is NOT simply a design printed by a computer and stuck onto a piece of
wood. The graphics on this board are printed directly onto the board's surface and protected by a
top coat of lacquer. What you see is the wood's natural grain, the ink, and the finish. There are NO
decals of any kind upon the board.
The planchette has been crafted to the same high standard and is a perfect complement to the board.
With its own graphics and custom-turned wooden feet, it is a work of art in itself with a look and feel
not seen for over 60 years.
Soft felt pads on the feet, combined with the board's wonderfully smooth finish, allow the planchette
to effortlessly float across the board with "ghost-like" fluidness.
Even the back side of the Mystic Tiki has been designed and finished as carefully as the front. Note
again that the image on the back is NOT a decal but is printed directly on the board.
The MYSTIC TIKI layout follows the classic ouija tradition, but presents it in a novel and refreshing way.
For example, the upper left tiki sun is modeled after the tiki god Ku. In island lore, the tiki god Ku was
the most aggressive of all tikis and is associated with war. Ku represents the East, or the sun rising,
which indicates morning. Throughout ancient times, Ku was the most feared Tiki because of his fiery
temper and destructive personality.
On the upper right is an Easter Island Moai Head inspired Tiki Moon. The Moai statues found on Easter
Island were thought to be symbols of authority and power, both religious and political. They were
not only symbols, but to the people who erected and used them, they were actual repositories of
sacred spirit. Carved stone and wooden objects in ancient Polynesian religions, when properly
fashioned and ritually prepared, were believed to be charged by a magical spiritual essence called
mana. The ahu platforms of Easter Island were the sanctuaries of the people of Rapa Nui, and the
moai statues were the ritually charged sacred objects of those sanctuaries.
On the bottom left and right corners are two flaming Lono-derived Tiki gods. Lono is considered the
god of good-luck and protection. He sets examples, builds character, and is a seeker of spiritual
knowledge. He gains strength through the generations and is considered to be the most ancient
and therefore wisest tiki god.
Achieving something of a landmark in traditional ouija board design, Vampirahna has added a unique
twist by creating back-side artwork specifically for the Mystic Tiki rather than a "generic" block of
unadorned instructional text as was common to the designs of Fuld and his contemporaries.
Featuring prominently are are two fierce-looking, dancing Kane Tikis. Kane was perhaps the most
important of the great gods named by the Hawaiians. A god of procreation, he is worshipped as an
ancestor of chiefs and commoners alike. According to one version of the Kumuhonua (the first man)
legend, he formed the three worlds - the upper heaven of the gods, the lower heaven above the
earth, and the earth itself as a garden for mankind - also furnishing the latter with sea creatures,
plants, and animals. Despite his appearance, no human sacrifice or laborious ritual is needed in t
he worship of the benevolent Kane.
Let the spirits of The MYSTIC TIKI be your guide!

16 Creative Tables with Potential Identity Crises

http://top-10-list.org/2010/08/09/ten-facts-about-death-worth-knowing-before-deapth/
Death is always sad but if you look hard enough, it can be quite interesting. This list may be macabre
but it is also quite fascinating!
1. Economic Burial
Promessa is a Swedish company which offers economic burials, if that’s what the family of the deceased
wants. They will first immerse the body in a certain chemical in order to freeze-dry it and then attach a
machine to it which pulverizes it. The end result is that the body turns to dust.
2. Eating Enzymes
There are certain enzymes in our body which kick-start the digestion process and keep it going till the
waste is ready to be removed. These are the same enzymes that devour your body on the third day
of your death. The bacteria attacks the dead cells and a certain gas is released which adds weight
to the body.
3. Dead Cells
When the embryo is developing, a number of cells have to kill themselves. This is programmed and quite
routine and happens so that the child is born with normal and not webbed feet.
4. Dead American People Are Not Environmentally Friendly
Americans that are buried in the U.S.A are not too eco-friendly. This is because about massive volumes
of formaldehyde, ethanol and methanol are used to embalm the body. This fluid seeps into the soil and
destroys it bit by bit. Cremations, on the other hand, release harmful noxious gases into the air which
only enhances the holes in the ozone layer.
5. Devoured by Vultures
There is a certain group of people called Zoroastrians in India which place their family members’ dead
bodies on the terrace. This is done so that they are eaten by vultures and so that the body is given
back to nature.
6. 21 grams
An experiment was carried out by a doctor in Massachusetts in 1907 with the help of a deathbed that
was specially designed for the occasion. It was found that the human body loses 21 grams almost instantly.
People believe that the soul weighs 21 grams and when it leaves the body, it loses that much weight.
7. Long Hair and Nails
Even though it is not known for sure, people believe that a person’s hair and nails keep growing long after
his death. This is because they are both made of keratin and dead cells and therefore, the death of the body
does not affect them all that much.
8. Lack of Oxygen
The most prominent cause of death is lack of oxygen, no matter what the scenario is. However, it’s a
fact that you cannot kill yourself by holding your breath. When the brain does not get enough oxygen,
the muscles start competing with each other and literally spasm out of control which is what kills the
person.
9. Soapy Corpse
When a corpse is buried and if the combination of the temperature and humidity in the air is just right,
certain tissues in the body will transform into a substance whose texture will resemble that of soap.
This happens because of the damp environment and the lack of oxygen in the air.
10. Get Buried in Outer Space
A US based company can send the remains of your loved ones into space as long as you are ready
to pay them a hefty fee. A memorial service will be held and you can watch the launch.

Iraq pumped 3.5M barrels daily before Bush invaded
and then they got their 2003 Halliburton upgrade
Bush's oil gouge, which is going to $100a barrel
makes $350,000,000 Bush will steal every day.
No wonder they were so eager to start a war,
stealing $350,000,000 every day.
It's the biggest theft in Earth's history.
Bush's "Bring 'em on" death taunt is up to...
2748....2754 American victims
We lost 6 since yesterday.
"Bush's war costs $2 billion a week."
-- so by all means, stay the course?

Among the shifting rationales for the war in Iraq, the most plausible motive may be the least discussed: access to oil.
By Kevin Phillips
 Digg  Stumble Upon  Newsvine  Slashdot  Mixx  Diigo  Google  Delicious  Reddit  Facebook
Few lies have wound up injuring Americans more—in everything from automobile gas tanks and winter heating bills to diminished U.S. global standing—than a rarely revisited three-year-old fib-fest involving George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Tony Blair. Since World War I, history is clear: the British and Americans have been pre-occupied with only one thing in Iraq—oil. Yet in 2003, as their troops again disembarked, the pretense was all about good and evil, democracy and freedom. The disastrous outcome of the unacknowledged Middle Eastern mission, the struggle for petroleum, has rarely been discussed.
In part, that’s because a credulous press has swallowed an extraordinary fraud. Speaking on behalf of George W. Bush, then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer insisted in February 2003, “If this had anything to do with oil, the position of the United States would be to lift the sanctions so the oil could flow. This is not about that. This is about saving lives by protecting the American people.” In November 2002, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had likewise declared, “it has nothing to do with oil, literally nothing to do with oil.” On the other side of the Atlantic, British Prime Minister Tony Blair told Parliament in early 2003, “Let me deal with the conspiracy theory that this has something to do with oil. There is no way whatever that if oil were the issue, it wouldn’t be simpler to cut a deal with Saddam Hussein.”
Horse manure. In the run-up to war, from Alberta to Texas, oilmen gossiped about the centrality of oil. Meetings of petroleum geologists buzzed about the so-called “peak oil” forecast that a dangerous top in global production was only a decade or two away. Specialized publications guesstimated how much taking over Iraqi oil could mean for profits and Exxon and Chevron. Polls of ordinary citizens from Europe to Latin America and the Mideast produced similar findings: people thought the invasion was about oil.
The Gulf War in 1991 certainly had been. When the first President Bush went into the Persian Gulf in force that year, it was indeed about petroleum. He openly stated, “our jobs, our way of life, our own freedom and the freedom of friendly countries around the world would all suffer if control of the world’s great oil reserves fell into the hands of Saddam Hussein.” The idea that Saddam Hussein was a second Hitler was a rhetorical embellishment. Back during the Cold War, even when Washington worried about the Soviet Union rolling into Iran and reaching the Persian Gulf, American concern arose out of the geopolitics of oil, not some abstract commitment to representative government and democracy.
The British had indulged their own motivational buncombe in the aftermath of the First World War when the Marquess of Curzon, Britain’s foreign secretary, said that the influence of oil in the new boundaries drawn for Iraq was “nil.” “Oil,” he said, “had not the remotest connection with my attitude, or with that of His Majesty’s Government, over Mosul.” By 1924, as the British agreed to cut American oil companies in for a share of Iraq’s oil production, the centrality of oil was obvious. Curzon’s claim that London sought to bring freedom and self-government to the Arabs was mocked in Parliament and on Fleet Street.
But that was 80 years ago, and today’s opinion-molding elites—in the United States, at least—are far more gullible. Too many are still psychologically embedded in the hard-charging pretense that surrounded the 2003 U.S. military incursion. The revelation that Saddam’s much trumpeted weapons of mass destruction seem not to have existed has yet to lead to the next logical re-evaluation: just how much more credibility should be given to the three sweeping “it wasn’t about oil” assurances quoted earlier? After all, if oil was involved, then the U.S. disaster in Iraq, doubly bungled, represents the greatest wartime failure since James Madison let the British burn Washington in 1814.
Vice President Dick Cheney, the one top official who avoided denying that oil had anything to do with the Iraq invasion, is precisely the man whose attentions must be examined to illustrate the depth of oil motivations. In 1999, when Cheney was still the head of Halliburton, the oil-services giant, he made a shrewd speech to the London Institute of Petroleum in which he gloomed over coming oil-supply problems: “By some estimates, there will be an average of two per cent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead along with conservatively a 3 percent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional 50 million barrels a day.”
Those barrels would have to come largely from the Middle East, and a few years earlier the Wall Street Journal had reported an Anglo-American oil company consensus: that Iraq, specifically, was “the biggie” in terms of potential future reserves. During 2001, the energy task force that became Cheney’s first major assignment as vice president spent much time poring over maps of the oilfields in Iraq and the rival nations—China, Russia, and France among them—to whom Saddam Hussein intended to give the concessions for development. Part of Cheney’s mandate involved “actions regarding the capture of new and existing oil and gas fields.”
This was getting down to the primal underpinnings of the 2003 invasion. According to Paul Roberts in his 2004 book The End of Oil, Cheney and his task-force colleagues
pored over maps of Iraqi oilfields to estimate how much Iraqi oil might be dumped quickly on the [post-invasion] market. Before the war, Iraq had been producing 3.5 million barrels a day, and many in the industry and the administration believed that the volume could easily be increased to 7 million by 2010. If so—and if Iraq [under U.S. control] could be convinced to ignore its OPEC quota and start producing at maximum capacity—the flood of new oil would effectively end OPEC’s ability to control prices.
The Anglo-American firms, in turn, would be in the catbird’s seat.
As for the supposed weapons of mass destruction, these had already played a crucial role. The United Nations sanctions imposed in the early 1990s included provisions that Saddam could not sign over development of the big Iraqi oilfields to foreign companies. On one hand, this gave the French, Russians, and Chinese an incentive to get Iraq out from under the sanctions. But on another, the key allegations that enabled the U.S. and Britain to keep sanctions in place were—what else?—Saddam’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. Without WMD, the sanctions would have fallen away, and the rivals of the U.S. and Britain would have gotten the “biggie” oilfields.
In short, the weapons of mass destruction drumbeat was substantially tied to oil and had already done its essential job by the time the invasion took place. Accept this logic and it makes mincemeat out of the Bush-Rumsfeld-Blair pretense.
The cynic will say, yes, but why could Bush and Rumsfeld not talk a little bit about oil just as the first Bush had prior to the Gulf War? Strategically, there were major differences. In 2003, there was no Kuwait to liberate as a justification for tangling with Saddam. This time it was a flat-out invasion to topple Saddam and take control. Admitting that oil was a principal motivation would have lost the public-relations battle not just in the Middle East but around most of the world. The administration had to have some larger, more noble rationale, and the war on terror offered a broad umbrella. At every opportunity, officials of the Bush administration, not least the president himself, tried to tie Saddam Hussein to terrorism and, indirectly, even to 9/11.
Furthermore, the White House had to consider the huge religious and biblical element of the coalition that elected Bush in 2000. Newsweek polling back in 1999 found that 45 percent of American Christians believed in Armageddon and the end times, and almost as many thought that the Antichrist was already alive and on the earth. Because such beliefs concentrate among very pro-Bush evangelicals, fundamentalists, and Pentecostals, my estimate is that some 55 percent of the people who voted for Bush in 2000 would have told pollsters about believing in the end times and Armageddon.
This will strike many as an exaggeration, but the phenomenon is an important one. Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals noted in 2003 that since the break-up of the USSR, “evangelicals have substituted Islam for the Soviet Union. The Muslims have become the modern-day equivalent of the Evil Empire.” According to University of Wisconsin historian Paul Boyer, by the 1990s many prophecy believers saw Saddam as the Antichrist or his forerunner, partly because Saddam was rebuilding the ancient evil city of Babylon. The Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye fictionalized the Rapture-Tribulation-Armageddon sequence so successfully that it sold a whopping 60 million copies in book and tape form. Most of the readers were Bush backers.
Politically, this confronted the White House with both a strategic dilemma and a parallel opportunity. On the plus side, the huge chunk of Bush voters would want to view the U.S. attempt to topple Saddam Hussein in terms of the war of good versus evil. Weapons of mass destruction were a prop but collateral to the larger biblical context. Invading Iraq would evoke that context because Saddam was one of the evil ones—maybe the Evil One, given his Babylon tie-in. Toppling him could aspire to biblical interpretation. Aiding Israel was also biblically vital. Bush had already carved out a related, overarching “good versus evil” posture with his heavily religious post-9/11 rhetoric.
The minuses were fewer but cautionary. It was fine for the White House to criticize the United Nations because the international body was a favorite whipping post among the high-octane preachers given to quoting the Book of Revelation. Oil, however, wasn’t part of the biblical prophecy framework. In LaHaye’s series, petroleum was a minor strategic gambit of the Antichrist, not the business of the good guys. Oil’s increasing centrality was a bad sign on the websites of omen-counters like raptureready.com.
Maybe this had something to do with the Bush-Rumsfeld-Blair posture of oil not being at all involved and maybe it didn’t. However, the rhetorical fact remains: oil-related motives and objectives were insistently forsworn, even if they were prominent—especially in Dick Cheney’s petroleum-savvy mind. Many Americans think his task force has been kept wrapped in secrecy because large oil companies were closely involved, but keeping oil-related war motivations hidden may have been even more vital.
If the Americans and British did act substantially for oil—and that seems highly likely—then it is fair to judge the Iraqi failure by oil-policy yardsticks and outcomes. The quick summation, obviously, is that whereas oil was selling at roughly $30 a barrel in 2002 as the White House was plotting its invasion and occupation, by late 2004 it cost a more painful $40 per barrel. By the time the operation was marking its third anniversary this spring, petroleum was flirting with $75 a barrel.
There is no room in this article to document that prior to the U.S. invasion in 2003, everything about Iraq (and neighboring Kuwait) generally boiled down to oil. Suffice it to say that Iraq’s new boundaries were drawn around oil after World War I; Axis forces invaded from Syria in 1941 in pursuit of petroleum; important Persian Gulf surveys generally concentrated on oilfields; the maps Cheney looked at in 2001 were about oil; and on entering Baghdad in 2003, the first government building U.S. troops occupied was the Oil Ministry, with its seismic maps of the rich Iraqi oilfields.
Anglo-American politics had also become increasingly shaped by oil. The Bush administration marked the first time that both the president and the vice president hailed from the oil industry. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in turn, was so close to British Petroleum that wags called BP “Blair Petroleum.”
Besides, if oil had nothing to do with the invasion, why did top officials of the Bush administration mention it in predicting how well the invasion would work out? Cheney opined that by the end of 2003, Iraqi oil output would hit 3 million barrels a day, and Lawrence Lindsey, the White House economic adviser, talked about 3-5 million, saying in September 2002, “the key issue is oil, and a regime change in Iraq would facilitate an increase in world oil” so as to drive down prices. Paul Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld’s deputy in the Pentagon, enthused that increased Iraqi oil revenues could pay for the war. And White House speechwriter David Frum wrote in his 2003 book on Bush that the war on terror was designed to “bring new stability to the most vicious and violent quadrant of the earth—and new prosperity to us all, by securing the world’s largest pool of oil.”
The best way to assess the oil-related outcomes—all bungles, no boons—is to use three different yardsticks: postwar oil supplies and prices; recrimination against the U.S. dollar; and the rising portion of U.S. defense outlays that had to be spent on protecting land and deep-water oilfields, pipelines, and sea lanes vital to oil tankers.
The administration’s hope that a quick and overwhelming victory in Iraq would unleash enough new oil production to flood the markets and undercut OPEC, however absurd in retrospect, tantalized traders during the invasion weeks. On March 21, 2003, the Financial Times noted, “futures prices suggest that when it is over, OPEC will shower the world with crude and the price will fall out of its $22-28 band late next year.”
Instead, occupied Iraq turned into a quicksand of guerrilla and sectarian rivalry. Insurgents attacked and disrupted pipelines and refineries, and truck drivers refused to transport oil from the north. During the winter of 2005-2006, Iraqi production dropped as low as 1.1 million barrels a day, and covering this production gap took almost all of OPEC’s spare capacity and forced prices higher. Dalton Garis, an economist at the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi, told the Associated Press in April 2006, “Iraq could be making a tremendous difference.” Instead, its shortfall is “a significant contributing factor to the high price of oil.”
American economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, in a draft paper entitled “The Economic Costs of the Iraq War: An Appraisal Three Years After the Beginning of the Conflict,” reached a similar but much more detailed and buttressed conclusion. Publicly, Stiglitz and Bilmes attribute $5-10 of the increased per barrel cost of oil to the mess in Iraq, but their private view seems to be that a very large portion of the now $45-per-barrel oil-price increase is attributable to Iraq.
That makes sense if one considers the hostile reactions of many of the world’s oil-producing nations to the behavior the Bush administration was exhibiting in Iraq and elsewhere. For several years prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, that nation had been insisting—contrary to global policies in effect since the 1970s—that it would price its oil sales in euros, not dollars. Other major OPEC producers—Venezuela and Iran—also began talking about kindred moves and so did elements of the European community. Just after the U.S. invasion, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman wrote that the real clash was not over weapons of mass destruction but over the dollar versus the euro—“who gets to sell—and buy—Iraqi oil, and what form of currency will be used to denominate the value of the sales ... yet another skirmish in a growing economic conflict.” Few others had the courage to raise the issue.
Had a U.S. triumph in Iraq enabled Washington to control and open the oil spigots in Iraq, OPEC would have been obliged to desist from talking about dropping the dollar to price oil in euros or a so-called basket of currencies. But as the various dimensions of U.S. failure became clear in 2003 and 2004, other nations—Indonesia, Malaysia, and Russia (not an OPEC member)—began to show their currency claws. Six months after the U.S. invasion, as Iraqi oil output shrank in the face of relentless sabotage of pipelines and other facilities by insurgents, even Saudi Arabia displayed its disdain, not by currency actions but by giving a big gas-development contract to French Total instead of ExxonMobil.
As of 2006, the U.S. dollar has been dropping again, with the ever more conspicuous failure of Bush administration energy policy—this year the U.S. will spend $300-350 billion on imported oil—a significant backdrop. Should these trends intensify and OPEC cease to price oil in dollars, the added burden on Americans will register in everything from home heating oil in northern winters to the prohibitive cost of long-distance driving in the remote exurbs of metropolitan commuter belts. The effects of the great bungle in Iraq may only be beginning.
Still another oil cost-burden that the Iraqi failure imposes on the American people involves the huge and finally starting to be noticed portion of U.S. defense outlays that are undertaken to protect foreign oil supplies from disruption. Michael Klare, a leading U.S. scholar on resource wars and oil geopolitics, has tabulated oil-related tasks being assumed by the military from South America and West Africa to the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, and the Straits of Malacca. His conclusion: the military “is being used more and more for the protection of overseas oil fields and the supply routes that connect them. … Such endeavors, once largely confined to the Gulf area, are now being extended to unstable oil regions in other parts of the world. Slowly but surely, the U.S. military is being converted into a global oil-protection service.” How much do these tax-financed costs effectively add to the price of a gallon of gas or heating oil sold in the U.S.—25 cents, 40, 85?
In sum, the energy-related price of the administration’s dishonesty and massive miscalculation in Iraq ought to be a central discussion point in this election year and again in 2008. The citizenry has to comprehend just how much is at stake and how the nation’s future has been jeopardized.
