Another Reason to Be Long On Oil Futures?

Donna_Rice_and_Gary_Hart.jpgOPEC is already grumbling about the decline of oil prices, and may schedule a special meeting in advance of its regular meeting in December. There are some who think that the meeting won’t be until the end of Ramadan on October 24th. But we haven’t seen much evidence that the Islamic holy days preclude having business meetings.

What’s more, former Democratic presidential candidate is predicting that the US will attack Iran before the midterm elections in November. Oddly enough, Ramadan probably will delay this attack until late October or early November. The Bush administration is actually very respectful of the religious sensitivities of the world’s Muslims.

You actually think Gary Hart is in anyone's loop, let alone the DOD's? A) Gary is a clown tossing shit at the wall. B) If you are linking to his ramblings at least include a pic of Rice, Donna or Condi, in a bikini. No happy hour for you!

Hart's still pretty well-connected with military and foreign policy types, we're told. So it's at least a data point worth noticing.

But you are absolutely right about the need for an appropriate graphic. We apologize for the omission.

Read "Blue Thunder" about the mob and others in Miami to find out why Gary didn't get elected. You'll also find out more about the Monkey Business boat that his T shirt in that picture is from.

That picture is like the loss of my childhood innocence! As well as the loss of my grandmother's innocence, who was babysitting for me when the story broke.
