The list of countries on the brink of disaster because of the global food crisis is growing by the week. Terrorism and security experts predict widespread social and political unrest and violent conflict in the second and third world.

It seems that the mystery I had previously reported on a couple weeks ago has taken a twist.

the progress of the credit crunch offset a surprisingly upbeat report on the U.S.

As many of you know, Todd Sharp has gone off the deep end. Or at least that is what he wants us to think.
You see, Brian Rinaldi noticed a theme in posts, and others have noticed it in titles and other hints.
For each of his "Layer" posts, there is a title associated with a letter. Take them all together and thus far we have SLIDE.
But what does that mean? Is he trying to tell us something? Is there a new project? Maybe he is changing his name? Slide Sharp. I like it!
To find the answer we must dig deeper. Just where exactly I am not sure. I spent a couple hours last night starting with his first blog posts 2005/6. But it turns out there is nothing there. At least thus far. Just 2007 and 2008 to go through now.
What is going on with the Clintons this year? You'd think that after Hillary's Tuzla story had blown over in the press, they'd let sleeping dogs lie. Well, you'd be wrong. As it turns out, Bill Clinton just resurrected this mess on the campaign trail in Indiana. What they heck are they thinking? Do they think us voters idiots?

The drama between Dow Chemical (DOW), DuPont (DD) and JP Morgan (JPM) won't go away ands if anything, looks to become a fascinating read.
In May I wrote about an upcoming SEC investigation in the mess, "The investigation might also probe Dow's attempt last autumn to buy DuPont (DD)in a deal worth over $40 billion. At the time, neither company disclosed that Dow had approached DuPont. DuPont turned Dow down, but its stock rose 15% between September and December. The SEC is also examining the...

After thirty years of considering myself a conservative, I find it more than slightly disturbing to be criticizing a Republican administration as much as I do. To me the Republicans have always been the good guys in the white hats. The Democrats have always been on the side of the shadows and darkness. The difference between the two sides was like night and day. Nevertheless, for the last few years there has been a growing pile of evidence that the Bush administration does not have my and possibly not your best interests at heart. No doubt, they think they are doing what is best for us but I do not think I like their particular vision of a future America. I see the world through the eyes of a middle aged ex cold warrior. Once I got out and around other parts of the world, I saw what a magnificent country America really is. There are so many things that we take for granted that are the stuff of daydreams in other countries. But at least to me it seems that President Bush is encouraging

Payment Woes Worsen On Riskiest Mortgages by James R. HagertyWall Street Journal 4/4/07snip:The number of borrowers in the U.S. falling behind on the riskier types of home mortgages continues to grow, according to new data from First American Loan Performance, a research firm in San Francisco.The rapid rise in overdue payments and defaults has forced dozens of lenders out of business or into bankruptcy protection in recent months and darkened the outlook for the U.S. housing market.The First American data show that in January payments were at least 60 days late on 14.3% of "subprime" loans that had been packaged into securities, up from 13.4% in December and 8.4% in January 2006. Subprime loans are those made to borrowers with weak credit records or large debts in relation to their incomes. For Alt-A loans -- a category between prime and subprime that includes many loans that don't require full documentation of the borrower's income or assets -- the late-payment figure rose to 2.6% i
The 'experts' are really just guessing as to how much the PEMEX oil reserves have fallen, or how little time is left before the Gulf inundates the Cantarell oil field. How odd it would be if we do get hit with a recession going into '08, but oil prices fail to come down in a meaningful way because our third largest supplier of oil finds itself suddenly tapped out.
