Why Barack Obama is more popular in Canada than Stephen Harper.

There is a pattern to U.S. presidential visits familiar to many Canadians. First, there is eager anticipation after an electionwill Canada be blessed with the new president's first foreign visit? That tradition was upset by George W. Bush in 2001, who went to Mexico first. (He's making up for it by giving an early post-presidential speech in a welcoming petro-emirate: Calgary.) Then, there is the search for a personal connection to Canada. Bush disappointed here againbut President Obama's brother-in-law is from Burlington, Ontario! Finally, there is the attempt by Canadian institutions to steal some of the presidential limelight. Among the most popular, but perhaps the most provincial, was a CBC Radio contest inviting Canadians to stuff Obama's iPod with Canadian songs. (Congratulations, Joni Mitchell and Malajube; better luck next time, Steppenwolf and Cline Dion.)

Pemex Oil Output Declines at Fastest Rate Since World War II

Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), Mexico"s state oil company, will probably report its fastest drop in production since 1942, eroding revenue as plunging crude prices limit the amount of cash available to drill for new reserves.

Pemex last year likely extracted 2.8 million barrels a day, down about 9 percent from the 3.08 million a day pumped in 2007, representing a total of $20 billion in lost sales, according to data compiled by the government and Bloomberg. Costs are rising at Cantarell, Pemex"s largest field, after declining pressure reduced output in the past five years.

Pemex"s Sbiggest problems have yet to come, said Alejandro Schtulmann, head of research at Empra, a political- risk consulting firm in Mexico City, in an interview. SThe fall in oil prices and lower production is going to make expensive exploration projects less attractive now.

Mexico relies on Pemex for 40 percent of its budget. Sliding Pemex output risks cutting supply to the U.S., which gets more oil from Mexico than all countries except Canada and Saudi Arabia.

Reinventing the tech incubator

Like hip hop and Dockers, tech incubators were faddish in the late 1990s. These companies offered promising dot-coms work space, back office services like human resources and accounting, and a bit of funding. Most of them imploded along with the boom. Now a handful of incubators are resurfacing, and among the most promising is Betaworks.Bookmark [...]

GM Files: Horrifying New Disease Contains Identical Material to GM Food

Just in case you thought it was fine to eat Genetically Modified foods (better identified as “FrankenFoods”), along comes a study which makes it clear that you are eating this make believe non-food at your own peril and, worse yet, you are feeding it to your kids at their peril as well. It is important to note that Codex Alimentarius, which sets standards for the international trade of food, permits genetically modified foods and makes no effort to limit, control or eliminate them. In fact, the US has been trying for years to prevent the labeling of GM foods and seed in international trade to emulate its domestic policy which prohibits any label indication that foods contain GM ingredients, as 75-80% of all foods sold in the US do.

Now it appears that the increasingly prevalent nightmare of a disease called “Morgellon’s Disease” may be a result of GM crops and food.

Morgellon’s Disease was first described when a woman’s 3 year old son developed rashes and intensely itchy sores which produced weird multicolor fibers emerging from his skin. She put up a website about the condition in 2001 and named it “Morgellons Disease” after a 17th century report of a similar affliction.

As it always does, the allopathic community of Western, drug-oriented physicians labeled sufferers as delusional. As a physician, I have a great deal of difficulty explaining how a delusion can produce colored fibers which protrude from the skin and continue to grow in a petri dish. Be that as it may, the multicolored fibers produced by the “delusion” have been analyzed and we now know that Morgellon’s Disease is no longer rare, nor is it mysterious any longer. A study of the fibers shows that they contain DNA from both a fungus and a bacterium which are used in the commercial preparation of genetically modified foods and non-food crops (such as cotton). The fibers themselves are primarily cellulose, which the human body cannot breakdown or manufacture. So GM technology apparently has, like Professor Frankenstein, found a way to animate the non living. These fibers twist and twine, grow and divide. In short, living beneath the skin of people, they form parasitic lesions out of what should be non-living material but which, through the horror of genetic modification, has taken on the characteristics of a living thing.

Lizard versus Lizard in tonight's debate

Americans should stand up for themselves, rather than just take another Madison Avenue debate.

::::::::

It has come to be that American government is of the lizards, by the lizards, and for the lizards. Tonight, there will be a fakey, staged "debate" between Barack Obama and John McCain, both of whom are running to be the Lizard-in-Chief. I wonder if I should wish good luck to them. "May the best lizard win!" As usual, on Election Day in November, Americans will try to vote for "the lesser of two lizards." Well, America, I have come to the end of my sympathy. If America once again elects the lesser of two lizards, then there should be no complaining; no outrage; and no dismay in the next presidential term.

Americans cannot look at me and ask, "Hey - who put these lizards in charge?" --if, in fact, it was my fellow Americans - you - who elected the Lizard-in-Chief. Perhaps I should offer my apologies for disparaging a fine species of reptiles. They don't deserve to be tarnished with brush strokes that conflate American politicians into their ranks.

There is a fakey, manufactured economic crisis that has been overplayed by politicians and talking heads, who have been boggling as if the sky is falling - and, they have used the fear of the crisis to ram through Congress a $700 billion bailout for Wall Street's guilty - basically a mugging for America's taxpayers which contravened the principles of free markets and private enterprise. Barack Obama and John McCain both voted for this bailout and thereby became two muggers. We can say they revealed themselves to be lizards.

Obama and McCain should be going to jail, not the White House! And further, the American people still have 20 days left to figure this out; to forward this text; and to catch on in time to change the outcome of the election. They should do so. They should follow this line of reasoning. They should reclaim America's future. Let's remember that actual Americans were against the bailout by a margin of 200-to-1. It means, they agree and if you forward this text as an email, they may thank you. (Try it!)

I don't mind exerting a bit of influence that's like leadership on the side of the American people (not lizards). When I was the 18 year old candidate for U.S. President (1984), bumper stickers said, "People Are Important," and I emphasized that the budget must be balanced and taxes must be fair - two of the planks in my "politics of practical idealism." I am now writing to you from the age of 42, and I've added knowledge and experience since 1984, but I'll stand by the politics of practical idealism.

At the age of 18 I wasn't wrong, and I learned a lot about the politician's game. I know how these lizards think. "Trickle down economics" was objectionable when Reagan first extolled it, and I rose to be the youngest-ever political opponent of Ronald Reagan. Trickle-down is also known as "voodoo economics," and I tried my darnedest to swat it in 1984. So, I have a history of fighting for the American people against the lizards. (I told you not to re-elect him, and I even said that you could write in my name! :)
