Share This- "Little difference" between Obama, Bush in substance
12:30pm (1 review) middle-east, iran, israel, chomsky, palestine http://www.chomsky.info/interviews/20090...- From the page: "Obama is implementing an increase in military aid to Israel for an unprecedented 10 years into the future. Also of significance is the rapid expansion of US hi-tech investment in Israel, notably a huge Intel plant intended to carry out a revolution in chip manufacture. There is, typically, a close relation between government and corporate policy, for obvious reasons, and there are other close ties, particularly military and intelligence, that are well-known and stable."

Jul 4, 11:59am (2 reviews) history, shakespeare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxfordian_t...- From the page: "the three dedicatees of Shakespeare's works (the earls of Southampton, Montgomery and Pembroke) were each proposed as husbands for the three daughters of Edward de Vere. Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were dedicated to Southampton, and the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays was dedicated to Montgomery (who married Susan de Vere) and Pembroke (who was once engaged to Bridget de Vere). Oxford was a leaseholder of the first Blackfriars Theatre and produced grand entertainments at court; he was the son-in-law of Lord Burghley, who is often regarded as the model for Polonius; his daughter was engaged to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, (many scholars believe Southampton to have been the Fair Youth of the Sonnets); his mother, Margory Golding, was the sister of the Ovid translator Arthur Golding; and Oxford's uncle, Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was the inventor of the Shakespearean Sonnet (or English Sonnet) form."

Jul 3, 1:07pm (1 review) economics, oil, dean-baker http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/beat_...- From the page: "If the dollar falls in value against other currencies, then other things equal, oil should rise in price measured in dollars. That would be necessary to keep it from falling in price measured in euros, yen, and everything else. If the dollar is falling in value against other currencies, then the dollar price of oil must rise just to keep it constant measured against other currencies. So even with some weakening of demand for oil, we should expect the dollar price to rise, if the dollar continues to fall."
