    “Bush administration officials knew of the earlier weapons transactions and chose not to shut them down, an official from southern Sudan asserted in an interview, and the cables acknowledge the Kenyan officials’ assertions that they had kept American officials informed about the deal. But once the pirates exposed the arms pipeline through Kenya, the Obama administration protested to the Ukrainian and Kenyan governments, even threatening sanctions, the cables show. ”

  3. beagle, all the blather from Hollywood, and Jack Layton, about doing something about the slaughter in Darfur and now it turns out there was something secretly being done.
    Arming them so they can defend themselves is a really bad thing?
    How else do you stop massive violent genocidal aggression?
    Wikileaks just phuqued Darfur real good.
    I am not going to expend much energy trying to figure out what your thought pattern is, I avoid wandering too far down sick lines of thought.

    “Icy grip heats up oil demand
    Cold weather pushes output to 87.4 million barrels a day”
    “Global demand for oil is stronger than expected as the northern hemisphere ends the year in an icy grip, the IEA said on Friday, raising its estimate for demand in 2010 by 130,000 barrels per day to 87.4 million barrels per day.
    The International Energy Agency raised its estimate of total oil demand next year by twice as much, or by 260,000 barrels per day to 88.8 mbd “on stronger data from OECD North America and non-OECD Asia.””

  5. Ratt,what part of Cancun do you live in?

    I’ve already got frostbite this year and it ain’t winter yet by a couple of weeks.However,you may be mixing up farenheit and centigrade temperatures which would make that -23C. a balmy -10F or so. We have temps like that up here quite often,it gets cold enough to freeze a polar bear.

    I have seen the great alarmists,

    I have watched their “show and tell”.
    I endured the mainstream media
    hit and hit the warning bell
    so the greed could be what feed ya!
    I have seen the Gates of Hell.
    I have read the temperature readings,
    I have seen them been adjusted.
    I have heard the liars’ pleadings,
    and they have still not been busted.
    I have seen the truthful waver
    in the fight where science fell
    and the path for mankind’s saviour
    straight into the Gates of Hell.
    I have seen the truth been covered,
    I have seen the hope lie dead,
    and the truth may be uncovered
    only when a blogg is read.
    I know what they’re going after:

  9. Yo Wally and Wright,
    Mt. Olive, N. Louisi-Yana. Sun is shining a balmy 43 F. Good day to run the hounds and build a fire down at the pond. Don’t even need any ice to keep the beer cold, just set it in the shallow end.
    Take care and bundle up my Canadian Comrades.

  10. For a blacker shade of grey check out Boco Haram.
    “It’s not really funny, since real people, including innocents, are dying. But there is grim satisfaction to be taken in how clumsy and lurid the enemies of civilization prove themselves at every turn. The villains of this event are the Nigerian jihadist group, Boko Haram–whose name, I found with a little Googling, can be variously translated as “Western education is forbidden,” “Modern learning is impure,” “Ignorance is strength,” or “Books, him bad.” Depending on how literal or literary you want to get.”

  11. Comon, I have 490 feet of coaxial, a 9 inch TV that runs on my 4-wheeler battery, and we can watch the football games while standing around a fire. During the commercial breaks we can throw sticks in the pond and watch my crazy arse German Sheperd retrieve them.
    And , don’t worry about the beer, due to the Blue Laws in my Parish they can’t sell beer on Sundays. So, we all down heya stock up on Saturdays.
    You just bring the hotdogs and marshmellows.

  12. Regular SDA readers know I’m seriously philosemitic and a indefatigable Israel-supporter, so it pains me to alert you to the bahaviour of Orthodox Rabbi Morons who are passing ammunition to Israel’s enemies.

    Have fun Ratt. Wear a hat today.

    “Analysis: Carbon markets to struggle after Cancun”
    “Global carbon markets will struggle after the deal reached at annual U.N. climate talks did little to ensure mandatory emissions caps would be extended next year.
    The modest deal forged after two weeks of talks in Cancun commits rich countries, from 2020, to finance $100 billion a year in climate aid for poor countries. It also sets a target to limit the rise in average world temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
    But it delayed the extremely difficult task of extending the 1997 Kyoto Protocol until next year’s talks in South Africa. In Cancun, Japan, Canada and Russia said they would not support a second phase of Kyoto if it did not include caps on the United States and rapidly developing countries like China.
    Kyoto, which expires in 2012, obliges all developed countries — except the United States, which never ratified it — to cut emissions blamed for warming the planet or face penalties.
    It was the pact’s binding emissions cuts, and expectations of tougher ones after a first phase, that gave birth to the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme, the world’s only carbon market that operates at national levels, as a way for businesses to meet mandatory caps.
    “The outcome of Cancun does not change the fact that most of the important work of cutting emissions will be driven outside the U.N. process,” said Michael Levi of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
    But after a bleak year, carbon markets will not do that work either.
    Banks let go many emissions traders even before the U.S. climate bill failed in July. Canada’s Senate failed to pass a climate bill, Australia postponed legislation and Japan is struggling to set up a cap-and-trade market.”
