Oil from Iran & EUROS 18 y
Oil form Iran will be traded in EUROS incase you haven't been watching, euros are worth more than the dollar- that means it Chian may follow suit- unless ofcourse we give them Taiwan!
Dear A-Letter Reader:
Yesterday, President Bush told the nation’s governors he spends ”a lot of time worrying about disruption of energy because of politics or civil strife in other countries--because tyrants control the spigots.”
And who is the chief tyrant that keeps Bush up at night? President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.
On March 20th, Iran will launch an attack on the American economy that could be far more damaging than last weeks attempt on Abquaiq, the massive Saudi processing facility. For the sake of your future wealth and prosperity, I urge you to read the following imp ... read more Foolish Cruelty 18 y

Cycles of the Psyche
Contain the Small
and the upright
Men of the Light
are,neverless, flesh
Men of the flesh
attuned on the earth
What flesh separates
is brought together
by eternal woman
the void, the creative
While you
create your existence
in prominence, and strength
know that you came
through the void
By the generousity
the joining of balance
and perhaps pleasure
whether for that moment
or eternity
In this moment you can act
With Generousity
Or Greed
With tenderness
Or Lust
Your generousity of Spirit
will outstrip flesh
pleasure
pomposity

Vampire Seeks Job as Minnesota Governor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINNEAPOLIS (Jan. 13) - Minnesota voters, who eight years ago elected a former professional wrestler as their governor, may find a self-proclaimed vampire on the ballot for the office this year.
”Politics is a cut-throat business,” said Jonathon ”The Impaler” Sharkey, who said he plans to announce his bid for governor Friday on the ticket of the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party.
Like Jesse ”The Body” Ventura, who was elected governor as an independent in ... read more Abramoff/Gingrich 18 y
"The siren of lobbyists" does this mean singing destroys ethics..? Or that no one was taught better? Or because the "other kids" do it? Peer Pressure.
Newt as Diogenes in a Dark Capitol
Published: January 7, 2006
It was a measure of the failure of Congressional leadership on both sides of the aisle that Newt Gingrich, the disgraced former speaker, was the one to lecture the House Republican majority this week on the siren lure of lobbyists and the pitfalls of cronyism. But Mr. Gingrich, whose downfall included a $300,000 penalty for violating House ethics rules nine years ago, did speak truth. ”You can’t have a corrupt lobbyist without a corrupt member or a corrupt staffer on the other end,” he warned fellow Republicans, who were stunn ... read more Skilling/Enron 18 y

Former Enron president testified about one sale of 500,000 shares but allegedly concealed an attempted sale of 200,000 more.

January 04, 2006
Federal prosecutors have alleged that former Enron Corp. president Jeffrey Skilling attempted to ”deceive” the Securities and Exchange Commission in a December 2001 deposition, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Skilling’s sale of 500,000 Enron shares, on September 17 of that year, came less than three months before the energy giant filed for bankruptcy, the paper pointed ... read more Spin Patriot 18 y

Extension of Patriot Act
Senate agrees to a six-month extension
By Melanie Waddell
With the U.S.A. Patriot Act set to expire at the end of 2005, the Senate decided on December 21 to extend the Act for six months so the House and Senate could make revisions to the Act next year. The House voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act for four years before it adjourned for the holidays the prior week.
In a statement, President Bush said he appreciated “the Senate for working to keep the existing Patriot Act in law through next July, despite boasts last week by the Democratic leader that h ... read more 12/30/72Bomb Vietnam 19 y

Question the PATRIOT Act Now – Before It’s Too Late
by Rep. Ron Paul
Recent revelations that the National Security Agency has conducted broad surveillance of American citizens’ e-mails and phone calls raise serious questions about the proper role of government in a free society. This is an important and healthy debate, one that too often goes ignored by Congress.
Public concerns about the misnamed PATRIOT Act are having an impact, as the Senate last week refused to reauthorize the bill for several years. Instead, Congress will be back in Washington next month to consider many of the ... read more Militant Vegetarians? 19 y
FISA- Foreign Intelligence Survelliance Act
Dear A-Letter Reader:
As the nation now knows, President Bush admits that he ordered the National Security Agency on more than 30 occasions to carry out secret wiretaps without obtaining warrants as the law requires. He claims all the investigations were terrorist related, and we hope that’s the truth. But his administration’s track record doesn’t give much support for his assertion.
Bush justified the wiretaps because he says a 1978 law that requires the government to obtain a warrant before it wiretaps a suspected terrorist or foreign spy isn’t flexible enough to fight the immediac ... read more Death Sentence in Ca. 19 y
So (I LOVE THIS) one of the suggested name changes for the stadium in Austria be the "Crips" after Tookie Wiliams who was executed under the California death penalty. Apparently, the Austrians feel the death penalty to be barbaric and some factions don't want their stadium named Swartzenegger (father of the city) anymore.
BERLIN, Dec. 26 - For years the quaint Austrian town of Graz trumpeted its special relationship with its outsize native son, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Great managers can inspire, motivate and train employees, but they ultimately can’t get the job done without solid verbal communication and public speaking skills.
”Since most communication today occurs on a verbal level, it is critical that people learn to speak clearly and convincingly,” says Lenny Laskowski, an international professional speaker and president of LJL Seminars. ”Everyone needs to learn how to communicate their ideas clearly and professionally.

Dear A-Letter Reader:
When I first read an alleged quotation from President Bush a week ago I doubted its accuracy. It was a shocker. Surely, I thought, this is a malicious distortion from someone who probably got some gossip third hand. No president would ever say, or even think, such a thing, I mused.
The exact quotation, by the editor of a publication called Capitol Hill Blue , wa ... read more Boxer/Bush Spying 19 y

Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today asked four presidential scholars for their opinion on former White House Counsel John Dean’s statement that President Bush admitted to an ”impeachable offense” when he said he authorized the National Security Agency to spy on Americans without getting a warrant from a judge.
Boxer said, ”I take very seriously Mr. Dean’s comments, as I view him to be an expert on Presidential abuse ... read more Pusillanimity 19 y
