    Is The USA Bankrupt? Bill Bonner, Editor: The Daily Reckoning Tuesday, July 18, 2006
    Is the United States of America, asks Laurence J. Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University, "at the end of its resources, exhausted, stripped bare, destitute, bereft, wanting in property, or wrecked in consequence of failure to pay its creditors?"
    Or, abandoning the Oxford English Dictionary for Ray Charles, are Americans "busted, broke...no bread...I mean like nuthin’?"

    Bush Gives Female German Chancellor Uninvited Neck Massage At Summit By John in DC - 7/18/2006 12:06:00 AM
    At first I thought this was just weird. Then I looked at the photos and the video. The chancellor looks rather surprised at someone suddenly touching her neck from behind. This is sexual harassment in any other workplace, isn’t it? And it’s rather inappropriate behavior for any man, let alone the president of the United States at a summit with (…)

    Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Soldiers By Cindy Sheehan July 13, 2006 As of today, the War Department lists 2544 as the number of murdered troops in Iraq. Dozens of innocent Iraqis are being killed due to this war crime every day.
