Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday that oil prices could more than double to $200 per barrel if the United States attacked Iran over a standoff about Tehran's nuclear program.

"If the United States is crazy enough to attack Iran or commit aggression against Venezuela ... Oil would not be $100 but $200," Chavez told an OPEC summit in the Saudi capital Riyadh. His remarks were translated into Arabic.

Chavez also said $100 per barrel was a "fair" price for oil.

Oil has lapped against the $100-mark this month, prompting consumer nations to call on the exporter group to help ease price pressure by providing the market with more crude.

On Friday, Saudi Arabia objected to an attempt by Iran and Venezuela to highlight concern over the dollar's weakness in the summit communique and the group voted the proposal out.

Venezuela is a price hawk and holds some of the largest reserves outside the Middle East and is the no. 4 US supplier.

A convicted sexual offender, fresh out of prison, manipulates and lies his way into the life of an 11 year old boy. He calls the boy's school, pretending to be the boy's father, and finally gets the boy away from his family, after several failed attempts. He was last seen getting into a U-Haul truck with the man.
He is found in a footlocker, dead. He has been raped by the man, and asphyxiated to death.
A Supreme Court in Jacksonville just gave this child molesting killer a stay of execution, citing that the drugs that are mixed for the execution might cause pain that is not detectable.
Is there something wrong with this picture? They should tie this guy to a post, and beat him to death with baseball bats!
My God, what is this country coming to? What are your feelings about this?

(link stolen off tgibby, hope you don't mind)

The first time they concluded that it wasn't suicide, and wasn't murder....this time, they say that it was definately murder and not "accidental"

How did they decide that it was accidental the first time? How do you accidentally drown yourself?

Maybe I'm just not thinking outside the box, could someone enlighten me?

oh, and also tell me if your opinion on this, was this a case of obvious incompitence or an easy mistake to have made the first time round?

So Jane Tanner has another yarn to spin…

First it’s - "Never in a million years did I think it could have been Madeleine.

Then it’s - "I'm talking now because I'm being called a liar and a fantasist. I know what I saw….. 'If only I had seen his face'."

And … "I think it's important that people know what I saw

So what exactly does she want us to believe? Which version then Jane??

What he doesn't realise is that the north sea oil is almost depleted and requires massive investment to continue. He also claims that the whole of England would be without power if Scotland was independent. The mind boggles.

All 3 men in the question have,or had outstanding careers in professional sports,all 3 of them happen to be black. Is there a conspiracy to ruin and/or tarnish careers of black athletes who have made their mark in professional sports?
On the other hand,how many white men can you think of that their careers were ruined by making bias statements against black men.(Jimmy the Greek,Howard Cosell,"The Dog--A&E's bounty hunter),(Kramer character of Seinfeld..even Jerry Seinfeld is affected by it).
What is there to gain by ruining these men's lives ?
Do some people just hang around waiting for an excuse to make other people's lives miserable ?
All opinions welcome.

I would like to ask this Q. Jane Tanner has repeatedly said that she saw a man walking away from the McCanns' apartment carrying what looked like a child .If we are to believe her description as on the picture which was released then the child's legs were dangling over the man's right arm.
If you now think of the position of the Maddy's bed in the photo recently released then the "abducter" would have picked up the child and her feet would have been dangling over the man's left arm. Something just doesn't add up. What do you think ?

Drew's second wife, who was married to him for 10 years, Bicky Connelly, says Drew cheated on her with the woman who eventually became his third wife, Kathleen Savio. The one found dead in the bathtub.

She also says Drew told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. She says he has the means and the mind to do it.

So I wonder if he has another woman in the wings now?
