The Ranking Member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee warned on a tour of East Africa that security in labs dealing with biological agents there was lax, increasing the risk that the pathogens could fall into the hands of terrorists.
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) was in Africa this week with a team of Pentagon arms control experts to study security efforts in containing deadly diseases such as ebola and anthrax.
...
The team noted virus samples stored in boxes stacked in hallways of the lab. Lugar also noted security lapses such as broken windows and a short wall with a couple of strings of barbed wire attached as all that separated a lab from a slum known as a recruiting ground for al-Qaeda affiliated groups. He posted this and other trip photos on Flickr.
It is noted in the comments that it is- of course- Bush's fault.
But since that statement, interest rates have actually gone up, backfiring on a Fed chief who wants his quantitative easing to spark inflation of 2 percent annually. A moderate amount of inflation would be considered good for the economy. The problem is that inflation is already running well above a healthy level, investors said, Bernanke is just not looking in the right place, like a Walmart.
“I suspect that when the Chairman thinks about reflation he has a difficult time seeing any other asset besides real estate,” said Jim Iuorio of TJM Institutional Services. “Somehow the Fed thinks that if its not ‘wage driven’ inflation that it is somehow unimportant. It’s not unimportant to people who see everything they own (homes) going down in value and everything they need (food and energy) going up in price.”
Gee, ya think MAYBE?
Anybody else remember when Bush 41 went to a grocery store and made comment on the price scanner at the checkout? He caught hell for being 'out of touch', etc; anybody hear these same media clowns talking about the out-of-touch of the current administration?
About that wonderful socialized medicine Obamacare plan,
A few minutes later:
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, HOST: But what is going to happen? I mean, are you clear on where a compromise is going to be? It's got to be discussed before the end of the year, no?
KRUGMAN: No. Some years down the pike, we're going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes. It's going to be that we're actually going to take Medicare under control, and we're going to have to get some additional revenue, probably from a VAT. But it's not going to happen now.
"Comrade, if you do not openly support The Lightworker, it will be seen as disloyalty. You can think about what the penalties will be."
Remember the muslim bastard who murdered one troop and wounded another in AR? Here's some updated information on him. Hopefully his conviction will be quickly followed by appropriate execution.
So Rep. Rangel(Super Corruptocrat-NY) is even sleazier than previously thought; anybody surprised?
From (formerly Great)Britain,
In the nursery rhyme, the Gingerbread Man fled from the clutches of an old woman and her husband.
But now he has been cornered by an even more unforgiving foe – political correctness.
Council bureaucrats have stripped gingerbread men of their gender and renamed them gingerbread ‘persons’ on menus for 400 primary schools.
It was 'unlawful' and etc. when Bush did it, but when The Obama does it, well, that's just FINE!
Aw, hell, that's enough for now. I'm tired and this is making me more so. Catch you tomorrow.
