Greenpeace took their protest to the seas and one of their boats was literally run over by the German police. Take a look.

Those Wayback Comments
"That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago," Cheney told an audience in Cincinnati on Thursday. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay."
Dick Cheney, 2004 when asked about the stagnant economy.
How's the economy where you are?
Putin Calls Bush's Hand
Vladimir Putin- 1
George W. Bush- 0
In a surprise move today, Vladimir Putin responded to Bush's call for a missile defense system in Europe stating that it not be located in the Czech Republic or Poland, as Bush proposed, but in Azerbaijan using existing Russian radar bases. Oh the irony of it all! As Bush has claimed over and over again that Russia is not the enemy and the missile defense shield was really directed towards Iranian missiles, this move by Putin forces Bush to prove that Russia is not the target.
Putin is demonstrating keen political and diplomatic skills with this proposal and shows that he is a force to be reckoned with. He did not back down to Bush and it remains to be seen how Bush with his ‘master diplomacy skills’ will respond. God help us!

The Old is New
The old is once again new. Go figure. Bush, in typical fashion, refuses to budge on his plans to install a missile defense shield in Europe. Russia, on the other hand, is not very pleased with this idea and the fact that the sites for this project include the Czech Republic and Poland. In response, Putin has warned that if the United States continues with its missile defense plan, Russia will once again point its nuclear warheads at Europe. This controversy has overshadowed the G8 Summit in Germany.
This type of talk is eerily similar to what I remember growing up. The Cold War, that sad relic of the 20th Century seems to be poking its ugly head around the corner again and the consequences this time could be grave. The world is not the same as it was back then with many more countries now in the ’Nuclear Club’.
It would be wise for both sides to stop this escalation as the spector of a nuclear arms race and possible nuclear conflict yields no winner. It’s time to close this sad chapter of the last century.
*Update* Check out this article for a good analysis of this situation.
He's Laughing at You!
It's the poor conditions of the refineries...no, it's the unrest in Nigeria....no, it's storms in the Gulf of Mexico...no, it's the political instability in the Middle East....no, it's the cyclone in the Arabian Gulf.....the excuses never stop from this crowd for the ever increasing price of oil. Meanwhile, the big oil companies are raking in record profits year after year. It’s time to get off the oil crack pipe and develop reasonable and sustainable sources of energy NOW!
