8. Kosovo's Independence, Violence Escalation in Gaza, Bombings in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq.

Hezbollah's declaration of open war, Iran opening oil market, nothing to see here, get back to THE major distraction: Obama vs. Clinton.

23. Ah, the bonds.
Watch the bonds, I was told. They are the true indicator of a financial collapse. As long as the bonds are good, all is well.

9. Kosovo, Gaza, Pakistan elections, Hezbollah, and more.
Things are teetering on the edge right now, I don't know what 10 days has to do with it. I understand tomorrow, but not why 10 days out is significant.

18. True, they paid no attention to Monks being slaughtered in Burma.
Or to Kenyans killing 1,000 over elections, or Bhutto's assassination, or jezzus.....what would get their attention?

19. There is a new report about a bombing in Afganistan:
Afghan blast kills 80
Suicide bombing at dogfight competition is worst terror attack since Taliban's fall.

Officials said the attack apparently targeted a prominent militia commander who had stood up against the Taliban. He was believed to have died in the attack.

Several hundred people — including Afghan militia leaders — had gathered to watch the event on the western edge of the southern city of Kandahar. Witnesses reported gunfire from bodyguards after the blast; it was not immediately clear how many of the casualties might have been caused by bullets.

29. .....
"Witnesses reported gunfire from bodyguards after the blast; it was not immediately clear how many of the casualties might have been caused by bullets."

a good argument against the idea of allowing students to carry concealed in schools...

30. Sure there are hotspots BUT..
Nothing is going to be happening in the next 10 days that will be particularly earth shattering. There is no looming catastrophe. Pakistan, our economic woes, surely are worries but they're not going to cause unprecedented chaos. Relax.
