News roundup

This weekend have a business simulation, so Friday night and Saturday all day will be very long and stressful. Have been getting ready for it but not much else going on so on to the news:

Food issues: Will the increase in oil and the push for bio-fuels mean a permanent increase in the cost of food?

President GW Bush has made a lot of mistakes, well we all make them, but he can't even get credit when things go right because people seem reluctant to acknowledge the good things.

Russia is trying to expand its borders again, this time northward.

Senator Lugar has suffered another episode of foot in mouth disease and reminds us again why we are fortunate his presidential ambitions flopped back in 92.

Venezuela appears to be killing the goose that lays the golden egg (the private sector to the economy). It will be interesting to see how much damage will be done and how long it will take the people of Venezuela to repair the damage.

US Colleges and Universities don't like being graded. Gee imagine that. They like grading their students but don't like it when others try to grade them so parents can be better informed on where their children should attend.

While the US is having problems in Iraq, the bad guys are also having problems.

Have a good weekend, don 't know if I can post tomorrow, maybe the boss will write or we can convince two others to join and write.
