They can go pound sand for all I care.
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.   ~Robert A. Heinlein

...let the cannibal who snarls that the freedom of man's mind was needed to create an industrial civilization, but is not needed to maintain it, be given an arrowhead and bearskin, not a university chair of economics.

Saudis ask for aid if world cuts dependence on oil

AP story at LINK


WTH???  OPEC members are afraid of the tree-huggin' liberals.  Pretty soon, Ooooobama, Dirty Harry, and Bella Pelosi will be granting them stimulus money.

Makes sense to me.

If you're gonna bail out the auto makers (save Ford), you might as well bail out the fuel producers for those same autos.   :whatever: 
Adams E2 Euphonium, built in 2017
Boosey & Co. Imperial Euphonium, built in 1941
Edwards B454 bass trombone, built 2012
Bach Stradivarius 42OG tenor trombone, built 1992
Kanstul 33-T BBb tuba, built 2011
Fender Precision Bass Guitar, built ?

Aid? What the hell did they do with all the trillions the world's already given them for oil?

Built mosques and seed money for terrorist cells world wide.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Looks like the Saudis have become liberals, looking for that Government handout regardless of HOW MUCH MONEY they already have. Perhaps they need to sock some away for a rainy day instead of their extravagant lifestyles??
