Toxic Assets
It seems that Leyman Brothers had an asset that is rather toxic to say the least. Toxic Yellowcake Uranium 450,000lb of it! It seems that Leyman Brothers saw an opportunity to make money by speculating on Uranium, but it seems the bottom has dropped out of that market along with all the others. They say they will wait till the market recovers before trying to sell it. Even so, in today’s Uranium market the value tops $20 million dollars.
More fraudulent statements
President Obama has once again claimed that 90% of the drug cartels weapons come from the U.S., a fact disproved last month when Hillary Clinton used the same bad figures, it seems that nobody either gave him the memo, or posted on his teleprompter. The real figure is that 17% of the weapons come from the U.S.
France backs off global warming
Global warming skeptic Dr. Claude Allegre could be the new the next French Environment Minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy’s administration. Allegre has called Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize a “political gimmick”. Allegre, a former French Socialist Party leader and a member of both the French and U.S. Academies of Science, was one of the first scientists to sound global warming fears 20 years ago, but he now says the cause of climate change is "unknown." This comes in the face of the Obama Administration’s move to push the cap and trade scheme in America.
Obama reveals more Bush documents
Obama seems to feel it’s fine to reveal yet more classified Bush memos, this time on interrogations of enemy combatants, once again violating the unspoken trust between past Presidents. He claimed he wasn’t trying to embarrass President Bush, but he needed to uncover the dark past of America. All I can say is……YEA RIGHT! He best hope the next president doesn’t share the same loose lips that he possesses.
