Charles Krauthammer - Charlie Gibson's Gaffe - washingtonpost.com

There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.

Crappy Products by Google

Google faces far less risk in product development than the usual business does. It routinely introduces half-finished products and services as online “betas” because it knows that, even if the offerings fail to win a big share of the market, they will still tend to produce attractive returns by generating advertising revenue and producing valuable data on customer behavior. For most companies, a failed launch of a new product is very costly. For Google, in general, it’s not. Failure is cheap.

Beware Global Freezing!

 In the past 1000 years, three previous such events -- the Dalton, Maunder, and Spörer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called a "mini ice age". For a society dependent on agriculture, cold is more damaging than heat. The growing season shortens, yields drop, and the occurrence of crop-destroying frosts increases.

Russia on the verge of decline

Oil production is set to decline this year for the first time in a decade, a decline that is widely expected to accelerate rapidly in 2010. Of Russia's 14 largest oil fields, seven are more than 50% depleted. Production at its four largest gas fields is also in decline. Russia drilled about four million feet of new wells last year. In 1990, it drilled 17 million.

...For much of its history, Russia has been a weak state masquerading as a strong one -- a psychological profile in insecurity.

Oops! Still no recession....

The preliminary estimate of the second-quarter increase in real GDP is 1.4 percentage points, or $39.7 billion, more than the advance estimate issued last month. The upward revision to the percentage change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to exports and to private inventory investment and a downward revision to imports.

BEA: News Release: Gross Domestic Product and Corporate Profits

If you are a democrat, mass media con artists, or simply a gullible consumer of the so-called "news", don't believe your eyes, but quarter after quarter the economy GROWS. Current brainwashing of the American public is disturbingly Orwellian: war is peace, growth is recession, lie is truth, etc.
