Iraq War Claims 4000 US Lives

The Second Iraq War has now claimed 4000 U.S. lives and an unknown number of Iraqi soldiers and civilians. The war now seems to be reigniting. Who knows how many will have to die before the end of the American occupation. Bush apparently has no plan other than hanging on long enough to let a new president deal with the problem Bush and his neocon team have caused. Ultimately, the U.S. withdrawal may resemble that in Vietnam. No one in the Bush administration wants to acknowledge that it turned a stable country into a nightmare.

Red Sox Win Opener

The Boston Red Sox looked strong as they won their season opener with the Oakland Athletics 6-5. The trip was a bit of a commute for Red Sox fans, given that the game was played in Tokyo at 6:00 AM Boston time. Most fans didn't make the trip, finding it difficult to even climb out of bed and find their war to the Cask 'n Flagon, a bar near Fenway Park.

Consider Bullion

Today’s financial market is especially troubling for investors. Problems with the sup-prime real-estate market threaten the entire financial system. What should a careful investor do? This may be a good time to consider putting some of your savings into gold or silver bullion.

For thousands of years, people have conserved their wealth by converting it to gold. In the present era, the Monex Deposit Company (MDC) makes it possible for the general public to buy gold bullion. Many investors like to purchase American eagle coins. One can also purchase gold ingots.


At present, silver may be especially attractive to investors. Yearly demand for silver now exceeds production. The world’s silver reserves are growing smaller and may soon drop to nothing. As is true with gold, silver is available in either coin or ingot form.

For over thirty years, MDC has made it convenient for investors to purchase precious metals in either coin or ingot form. Monex can provide safe delivery or arrange for secure storage in a bank or depository.

MDC's large professional staff can provide the best service possible to its customers. Regardless of the form the gold or silver takes or the type of storage desired, Monex offers both convenience and competitive prices to all investors.

Cubs Win

In today's game against the Padres, Jason Marquis gave up a three-run homer in the first inning, then sent the next eleven batters back to the dugout without a hit. The Cubs held on to win 7-3.

For the Cub offense, Aramis Ramirez and Ryan Theriot provided the heroics. Ramirez hit a two-run single, and Theriot hit a three-run double. Theriot went two out of three for the day. Marquis helped his own cause with a one-run single in the first inning.

Today's game took place in Peoria, Arizona.

Iraq War

The Second Iraq War has now lasted for five years and shows no sign of ending. What were our leaders thinking? The First Iraq War lasted only a short time because it consisted of only an invasion. The present war has involved a short invasion and a long occupation. The neocons in the Bush administration thought the occupation would last only a short time and would cost only about $50 billion. They were mistaken about both matters. What were they thinking?

Lindsay

Great news from our rich and famous boneheads. Lindsay Lohan did not perform in a sex tape with her former boneheaded boyfriend. The woman who is actually in the tape is a yet unknown somebody from the Middle West. The ex-boyfriend also denies starring in the videotape, a tape unlikely to ever win an Academy Award.

Eliot Spitzer

Eliot Spitzer's recent fall from grace proves again that you should never commit those crimes that you yourself have so loudly condemned. If, for example, you shout that gambling is a great sin, don't spent your Sunday feeding quarters into a slot machine at the local casino.

The new governor of New York is a welcome relief. Both he and his wife admitted to marital infidelities. They didn't say they were proud of them, but they didn't preach to a sinful world when they themselves had committed the sin.
