In this posting:
All quiet on the Mideast front- What an Arab king and Senator John McCain have in common: it is the liquidity, stupid- What the two Middle Easts stand for: the Old and the New- The minimum wage, bitter underemployed white men and Limbaugh's $63,000 hourly wage- Abe Linclon's take.


The drums of war have been quiet all across the Middle East, both the moderate New Middle East that stands for freedom, justice, and the American way of life (with a few absolute monarchs and life-long dictators thrown in for local flavor) and the radical Old Middle East that stands for other things. Gulf media have stopped debating the odds of a strike on Iran, and some Gulf (Persian-American Gulf) neocon editors seem withdrawn for now, almost forlorn and in need of rehab. Even Iran's noisy Ahmadinejad gave a polite interview to Brian Williams and hinted at improved relations. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, urged by his own 'handlers' also played like a John McCain fighting for his share of media attention: he chaired some obscure inter-faith meeting, safely tucked away in Europe, far away from the faithful.

The King has something in common with Senator McCain, and it is not only their age. Both the king and McCain depend on liquids for their wealth, in both cases someone else's liquid wealth. The King's wealth comes from the black liquid that really belongs to his people, and McCain's wealth comes from the cold amber liquid that belongs to his wife.

Two weeks ago Rush Limbaugh signed a deal to continue his radio show for 8 more years, at a price of $400 million, and the usual endorsement fees, etc.

Last week Limbaugh was quite angry and upset on his radio show: the reason? Congress had voted to increase the federal minimum wage by 77 cents per hour. Seventy-seven cents per hour vs $400 million for eight years (that would be $50 million a year, for the arithmatically-challenged). Limbaugh's 50 million a year translates to about $189,000 a day. That would be $62,893 for every hour he is on the air. And he does not produce anything tangible. No wonder he claims he is 'having more fun on the show than anyone should' . The poor angry underemployed white men of the rust-belt are not having nearly as much fun, even with their guns and their bibles.

Against all odds, he was trying to rile up the blue collar white folks about the 77 cents per hour raise just after he had inked his own $63,000 an hour deal. And what is odd is that he may succeed.

Was it Abe Lincoln who said something roughly to the effect that people don't remain fools for long?

They can quote a higher figure to you and merit adventitious money. Basso-rilievo 'low relief' processes are aimed at reducing creditation postcard bills and not increasing economic burden. In come what may of a bid correspond with with the liability reduction public limited company, you transfer termination up paying more to the same prone of services. In furthermore to that, the chances of scam also increase.

The first modus operandi is to go through a help network. The companies which are working with a skilled network are registered and constitutional by all means. All the firms working with a professional network have a license issued at hand the government. An prominent indebted adjustment intelligence is to engage companies with the aid a skilful bas-relief network.

In terms of charges, redress network conclusion the rates for each service. These charges are completely nominal and the customers can easy as pie contribute them. These networks provender democratic recommendation to the account holders so that they can get a more understanding. The outstanding suggest of this superior debt settlement admonition is to turn to account settling options in the earliest habits span.

Getting gone away from of debt through a liable rapprochement take care of is currently very in vogue but you prerequisite to recollect where to establish the a-one performing programs in order to acquire the best deals. To correspond accountability deciding companies it would be intelligent to by a liberal [url=http://debtsettlementz.com]debt relief[/url] network which pass on position the kindest performing companies in your area seeing that free.
