Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington State, in partnership with Robert McCullough of McCullough Research, today released a report that the senator's press release says " shows that the dramatic rise in oil prices in June, and the subsequent
fall in price in July, can't be explained by any of the fundamentals of
supply and demand. Instead, it could be a result of the trading
strategies of major market players. Cantwell and McCullough said new
data collection tools are needed so that federal agencies can identify
the culprits and stop any market manipulation."

Hey, I realize John McCain has a thing for young blondes, but this is ridiculous. To watch his ad campaign over the past week or so has been painful, whether or not you support Barack Obama. And this week takes the (cheese)cake. Or maybe we just call it cheesy and leave it at that.

Okay, well the more research I do into the now infamous Ms. Jean C. Duley - the "therapist" who filed a restraining order against the alleged anthrax attacks suspect Bruce E. Ivins - the more her story sounds like a whole load of crap.

The death of government scientist Bruce Ivins has generated far more
questions about the anthrax attacks than it has answered. I want to
return to the role the establishment media played in obfuscating the
anthrax investigation for so long and, at times, aiding in what was
clearly the deliberate deceit on the part of Government sources.

(The Nation) -- Washington can act with breathtaking urgency when the right people want
something done. In this case, the people are Wall Street's titans, who
are scared witless at the prospect of their historic implosion. Congress
quickly agreed to enact a gargantuan bailout, with more to come, to calm
the anxieties and halt the deflation of Wall Street giants. Put aside
partisan bickering, no time for hearings, no need to think through the
deeper implications. We haven't seen "bipartisan cooperation" like this
since Washington decided to invade Iraq.
