This may come as a shock to some, but the USA recession may not be over yet.(I can almost hear the gasps of disbelief) Obama keeps saying recovery is making progress with unemployment down to a mere 8.2% (snicker) and the MSM sees no dark clouds on the horizon. Now along comes this bit of information on the housing market that was making such a strong comeback. http://business.financialpost.com/2012/07/25/new-home-sales-drop-in-u-s/
Must be Bush’s fault that Obama’s information is always a bit off.

“Beijing’s Olympic Glory Washes Away”
“In 2008, the Beijing Olympics was a symbol of the Chinese government’s ability to organize a world-class event. For the most part, the Chinese people accepted the narrative. Now, in the days leading up to the London Olympics, that legacy is literally being drawn into the city’s sewers.
It all began on July 21, when Beijing was hammered by 7 inches of rain — with outlying areas receiving as much as 16 inches — in what the local government claimed was the heaviest rainstorm since records were first kept in 1951.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-25/beijing-s-olympic-glory-washes-away.html
The inimitable Theodore Dalrymple: Aurora Beyond Us: No science can explain massacres like last week’s. http://www.city-journal.org/2012/eon0725td.html
He’s right. Unfortunately, as Mr. Dalrymple is agnostic, he is not able to tackle this issue from a spiritual perspective. I’d love to know what he would have written if he was a man with spiritual beliefs. (At least he’s sympathetic to Christianity: “To regret religion is to regret Western civilization”: http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_4_oh_to_be.html/).
What he hasn’t tackled is the problem of evil, which IMO is clearly at work in this hideous massacre. For those of us who believe in God and Heaven there’s also Satan and Hell which are very real.
I would wager that Jason Holmes was in league with Satan at some level, whether or not he was consciously aware of it.

I’m curious as to what will happen on Friday at the opening ceremony to the Summer Olympics.
We have seen President Obama go out of his way to bow to other countries. So, the question is whether he has specifically influenced the US team to dip the US flag to the host country (which the US has refused to do for a host of reasons since the nationalist flags became part of the ceremony in 1905).

“Demand for Oil Drops, Index Shows
Research from an energy industry information provider shows that China’s demand for oil has dropped for the first time in three years.
Platt’s oil price index found that June demand for oil fell 1.9 percent year on year, falling to 36.84 million tons. This is the first time oil demand has decreased since the outbreak of the financial crisis. Lower demand for oil may signal an industrial slowdown as the country grapples with declining growth rates.” http://english.caixin.com/2012-07-26/100415547.html

From BigGovernment.com: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/24/Jobs-Program-Spent-76-000-Per-Person-To-Help-Youth-Find-Minimum-Wage-Jobs
A federally funded program spent $76,000 per person to help them secure a minimum wage.
If they were dead set on spending money, at that price, they could have provided each person with a year’s salary (52 weeks, 40 hours per week) of $36.50 per hour.
Or a little over five years employment under Oklahoma’s current minimum wage ($7.25 per hour).
We’re from the government and we’re here to help… waste your money.
Uh, guys – this is simply a “quid pro quo” for having the Olympics during Ramadan.

Could it be that summer interns at the Toronto Star are spinning the global warming propaganda again with regard to the Greenland ice sheet? The hard copy off the news stand, page A19 July 26 says “Satellites showed that the ice sheet, represented by the white area, on July 8 thawed an estimated 40 per cent (left image) and on July 12 thawed an estimated 97 per cent (right)”
The online article says “melting occurred over a widespread area.
NASA says the melting area went from 40 per cent of the ice sheet to 97 per cent. Until now, the most extensive melt seen by satellites in the past 30 years was about 55 per cent.”
Same image in both. The subtlety here is that the reference in the online article is to “melting area”, probably meaning that the satellites are picking up warmer temps. But the hard copy excerpt on the newsstand implies that 97% of the ice sheet has disappeared. Colours chosen for the graphic show white for icecaps on the left and ALL WHITE GONE on the right. Head for the hills. The oceans must be rising as I type. Torstar cultists will be safe in their highrise.
This might amuse people. I got it from the sidebar at a link from Five Feet of Fury. Just… yikes. And we wonder why they’re making Twilight films. (According to Mordecai Richler something similar happened many years ago when some prankster sent the first chapter or so of Anna Karenina in to all the major publishing houses, and was universally rejected.)
I won’t be going to a movie anytime soon.

This morning I commented that I though President Obama might influence the US Olympic Team to dip the US flag at the opening ceremonies.
This comes from Reuters four hours ago… http://news.yahoo.com/u-considers-dipping-flag-opening-ceremony-192627837–spt.html
LONDON (Reuters) – The United States may break with a controversial tradition and dip its flag to Britain’s leaders at the opening ceremony for the London Olympics, U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) CEO Scott Blackmun said on Thursday.
This may come as a shock to some, but the USA recession may not be over yet.(I can almost hear the gasps of disbelief) Obama keeps saying recovery is making progress with unemployment down to a mere 8.2% (snicker) and the MSM sees no dark clouds on the horizon.
