AMERICAblog: Oil crashes through to new high

  • Bubbles · 1 year ago
    It's now possible to imagine, that before Bush leaves office, that the price of oil will be $100 more than it was in 2000 when he got elected, and the value of the dollar against the Euro is one one quarter of its value as it was in 2000.

    Has this Bush done anything right?

    In San Francisco, $4.20/gallon for premium. No kidding.

    Is this poll an April Fool's joke?

    Poll: 82% of American Christians support Israel

    and this rapture, err, fracture.....

    The leader of the largest branch of American Judaism said Wednesday that synagogues in the movement shouldn't work with the Rev. John Hagee (McCain's favourite pseudo-religious nutjob), a Christian Zionist, calling him an "extremist" on Israeli policy who disparages other faiths, e.g Catholics and Muslims.

    Watch for the war with Iran now. A war with Iran is the only thing left to save Bush & Cheney's rear end.

    Americans are more dissatisfied, err, bitter, with the country’s direction than at any time since the New York Times/CBS News poll began asking about the subject in the early 1990s, according to the latest poll.

    Obama to investigate Bush Admin. crimes if elected:

    The price of oil isn't really a measure of anything much these days. It gurgles around too much to be an indicator and continues to jump up. I think part of the problem is the continuing sag in the dollar, good for exports, the exporters say. Perhaps it is, but what do we export? Computers? Itsy-bitsy micro-chips? Pringles? What? What is it that we're exporting that makes an artificially low dollar worth the dislocation of our consumer patterns?

    In my opinion, this is probably more bad than good.

    The more oil we find, the less serious we are about alternatives.


    SAO PAULO, Brazil — A deep-water exploration area could contain as much as 33 billion barrels of oil, an amount that would nearly triple Brazil's reserves and make the offshore bloc the world's third-largest known oil reserve, a top energy official said Monday.

    National Petroleum Agency President Haroldo Lima cautioned that his information on the field off the coast of Rio de Janeiro is unofficial and needs to be confirmed _ but his comments sent shares of state-run oil company Petrobras soaring in New York and Sao Paulo.

    Petrobras said in a statement that more studies are needed to determine the potential of what could be the planet's largest oil find in decades. Analysts said the magnitude of the find, if confirmed, could have far-reaching global energy ramifications.

    Oil now over $113 and rising because the dollar continues to fall. Why should someone selling a commodity like oil sell it for more worthless dollars that the Fed prints at the risk of having to cut back on their lifestyle and purchasing power?
    Fix the dollar by backing it with something of value like gold and silver and watch the prices drop like a rock.

    Of course, this couldn't be related to or in any way indicative of the possibility that the world has reached the Hubbert Peak of global oil production -- could it? No, of course not...don't be silly.

    Riiiiiiiiight...
