High oil prices + divertion of foodstuff for "biofuel" + market worries about future oil supplies (Iran, Hormuz straights etc).

This is hardly rocket science. Expect this trend to continue. The age of endless supply of cheap oil is over.

Good grief, not this tired old discussion again. Of course there are some racist gaijin haters in Japan, but you don´t change that meddling with the language. Whatever new politically super-correct term you come up with, anyone using can still make it sound derogatory if he/she wants to.

Words change…

This is scary. What would have happened if the sniffer dog had picked it up and the handlers were just as incompetent as the officer who planted this stuff? Another Nick Baker story?

Surely they don´t need to endanger unsuspecting travellers to test their sniffer dogs!

Sounds like an Otaku living out his phantasies. He should have stayed in Akihabara.

The idea to legislate low oil prices is ridiculous. Food prices are also rising, maybe next the democrats claim a world-wide conspiracy by farmers? There is no end to the stupidity and short-sightedness of these political demagogues.

" The U.S. ambassador to Iraq said Saturday that al-Qaida’s network in the country has never been closer to defeat "

Unadulterated BS. Al-Quaida represents pure, literal Sunni islam, and will re-appear everywhere where where fundamentalist imams preach in mosques.

The US ambassador only once again demonstrates that the US…

Super Delegate:

Actually, it is a field manual for the entire Ummah. Even moderate muslims agree that the Koran must not be criticized, never, ever, ever. Which is why this whole Western idea…
