* * * * * REFLECTIONS:
Hey are you ready for this...are you sitting on the edge of your seat...TWO DOWN and McCain to go....
*******
MCCAIN YOUR NEXT.....BAD LEADERS AND POOR DECISIONS..NO MORE The Pakistan rupee weakened on Wednesday as investors turned their focus to Pakistan's sickly economy amid growing uncertainty the coalition government can rule effectively after President Pervez Musharraf resigned. [1]

BUSH MUST PROECT HIS BUDDIES The United States will consider providing former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf with asylum if he asks, State Department spokesman Robert Wood said here Tuesday. [4]

POLITICAL DISRUPTION CREATES VOTER UNCERTAINTY Our future is uncertain and scary. Without him we will fear for our safety because the politicians who have been in power for the past few months do not inspire any confidence when it comes to our security.[3] But Pakistan is facing many problems at the moment because of him and the economy is declining day-by-day because of his wrong policies.[3]

BLAIR HAD A PARLIAMENT, MUSHARRAF HIS DICTATORSHIP BUT WERE GOT OUR QUEEN Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat - yeah[2]

FIRST WE GOT BLAIR THEN MUSHARRAF...WHO ELSE SUPPORTED BUSH?..OH YEA MCCAIN Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, ehHey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust[2] Pakistan's former leader Pervez Musharraf resigned yesterday in an emotional address to the nation ahead of impeachment proceedings brought by the country's newly-resurgent Parliament. Musharraf dominated Pakistani politics for almost a decade and strode the world stage as one of the U.S.'s chief regional allies in the war against terrorism. However the euphoria expressed at the ousting of the one time strongman was tempered with the knowledge that Islamabad is likely to face a protracted power struggle to fill the vacuum.[4]

WHEN THE LEADER FALLS THE COUNTRY SUFFERS The rupee ended trade at 74.80/90, compared to Tuesday's close of around 74.53/60. The currency has lost over a fifth of its value against the dollar this year. [1] One of the reasons for the collapse of Musharraf's reputation was a failing economy, battered by capital flight, rapidly falling foreign-exchange reserves and soaring inflation, now at 21 per cent. People struggle to pay for flour and fuel. The entire country suffers from prolonged power failures, which, according to the International Monetary Fund, can be attributed largely to the failure of the Musharraf government to build power plants.[4] How do you think I'm going to get along Without you when you're gone You took me for everything that I had And kicked me out on my own[2]

WASTED DISTRACTION THAT HURTS THREE WARRIOR'S NATION ECONOMIES Investors said the deadlock between the two main coalition parties over the restoration of deposed judges was dashing hopes the government will focus on reviving Pakistan's economy and not be distracted by politics after Musharraf's resignation. [1] Pakistan's ruling coalition parties on Aug. 7 announced that they would launch an impeachment against the president. The speculation about Musharraf's resignation has mounted since then. [5] "The political situation is not helping the foreign exchange market," said a trader who declined to be named. "The underlying economy is not great either." [1] Are you happy ? Are you satisfied ? How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat

OTHERS TASKED WITH REBUILDING THE MESS THESE 3 MUSKETEERS MADE, NO MERCY FOR THEIR MINIONS "Unless you get a balance of payments solution, I don't see anything else but further weakening for the rupee ahead," he said. [1] After six years of healthy growth under Musharraf's rule, Pakistan's economy is struggling with widening trade and fiscal deficits, soaring inflation, and falling foreign exchange reserves depleted by high oil prices. [1] Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust[2]

PEOPLE ARE RESILIENT AND WILL PROSPER UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP..GO OBAMA Pakistan's central bank is set to announce later this week the size of the country's current account deficit in July. [1] Pakistan's stocks also fell more over 3 percent on Wednesday as investors began to lose hope for an end to political tension. [1] The two coalition parties are squabbling over whether to restore the judges ousted by Musharraf last year. [1] Hey Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust, ow Another one bites the dust, hey hey Another one bites the dust, heeey Ooh show down[2] At the Iraq war corral[trb] In the money market, Pakistan's short-term money rates were flat on Wednesday as liquidity in the market stayed tight, traders said. [1] They said the next inflow of funds into the market was due on August 27 when the central bank settles an auction of 67.5 billion rupees ($902.3 million) worth of Treasury bills. [1]

BATTERED WAR PROTESTORS ARE RETURNING..WITH VENGENCE You can treat him bad and leave him When he's down, yeah But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating to the sound of the beat Oh yeah[2]

THREE COUNTRIES WILL REBUILD...BENT BUT NOT BROKEN..GET THE TROOPS OUT... Overnight call rates ended at 12.9 percent, unchanged from the previous closing level, two traders said[1]jUST WHAT IS THE PRICE OF GAS TODAY?[TRB] Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, yeah Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust

LEE GONZALES DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION BLOG

LEE GONZALES DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION BLOG **********************************************
The Democratic nomination of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States is just afew days away!

To have the chance to represent local Democrats at the Democratic National Convention is exhilarating and humbling. Highly thought-provoking is another way of describing what I'm feeling in preparation to do my best as a convention delegate.

We are witnessing an unprecedented transformation of American politics, along with a realignment of the electorate in the quest for the Presidency. The results of Nov. 4 will be a defining moment for our nation.

Through this BLOG I plan to provide daily updates on a delegate's role and other convention happenings. I recognize the value of this opportunity to dialogue and work with Democrats from all walks of life. We all view the world though many lenses and individual experiences. In my case, I'm a son, husband, father, grandfather, proud of my family, university graduate, a prideful American & patriot, proud of my ethnic heritage and an elected state representative.

Because of these motivations, I am very passionate about serving our community and moving it forward. Historian David McCullough eloquently observes in the following passage about our nation’s history, "The American experiment was from its start an unfulfilled promise. There was much work to be done. There were glaring flaws to correct, unfinished business to attend to. Improvements and necessary adjustments to devise in order to keep pace with the onrush of growth and change and expanding opportunities."

From my perspective, this is why the 2008 Democratic National Convention is so vitally important because it is an essential component of the course of human events in our great nation. So please stay tuned and share your thoughts.

KUNSTLER, too many people, too little food, too little oil, too little time!

KUNSTLER, too many people, too little food, too little oil!

GOOD MORNING FLINT MI USA!,
Posted by Terry Bankert 8/19/08

BANKERT Q: When will there be too many people on the planet? How does this number affect out lives?

KUNSTLER: “ It has been estimated that the world population stood at about one billion around the early 1980's, which is roughly about when the industrial adventure began to gain traction....World population is now past 6.5. billion...”[1 at pg 6]

BANKERT Q: Will the increase in population result in an inability to feed ourselves?

MALTHUS: (1766-1834), an English country clergy man educated at Cambridge....proposed that the human population if unconstrained, would grow exponentially while food supplies grew only arithmetically, and therefore population growth faced strict and inevitable natural results. [1 at 6]

BANKERT Q: How can this be true, until recently we have had plenty of food?

KUNSTLER: Malthus was certainly correct but cheap oil has skewed the equation over the past hundred years while the human race has enjoyed an unprecedented orgy of nonrenewable condensed solar energy accumulated over eons of prehistory.....The cheap oil created an artificial bubble of plentitude for a period non much longer than a human life time, a hundred years.[1 at 7]

BANKERT Q: If oil is fundamental to food production, availability and cost and the supply of oil is diminishing as demand rises moving resources away from food production what will happen to us?

KUNSTLER: ...that as oil ceases to be cheap and the world reserves arc toward depletion, we will indeed suddenly be left with an enormous surplus population.....that the ecology of the earth will not support.[1 at 7]

BANKERT: These time they are a changing. Of course we will react to diminished oil and the increase in food costs by changing our farming techniques, become more local, and seeking out alternative fuel. Our community should recognized the importance of new ideas and support the leaders who bring them. We have local leaders bringing a Swedish King and a BIOFUEL project to Flint MI.....Thank them!
