GAO: Looming Threat to Global Oil Supply "The odds of us not peaking in the next five years are zero." Matt Simmons
Truthout Gets Religion This article addresses the blissfully ignorant belief of some environmentalists that Peak Oil will offer the silver lining of reducing climate change. J.O.

"It seems to me that Rumsfeld would have to be aware of it," Mary Tillman
"Tillman's mother, Mary, said Saturday the newly disclosed document demonstrates Bush was complicit in deceiving her family."
With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions... FTW's Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

The implications of these experiments for government abuse are scary, particularly from Section V on. J.O.
From the Daily Reckoning: Ben Bernanke explains how inflation got to be so low:
...Mr. Bernanke explained that they lied their heads off by saying that if the price of something in the basket of goods and services they measure goes up in price (to which I scream "Which IS inflation, isn't it?"), then they assume that the average consumer will buy less of it!
I am agog! What in the hell the penny-pinching shopping behaviors of cash-strapped consumers has to do with existing prices is totally, totally beyond me, but it apparently makes some stupid kind of sense to this Bernanke idiot, and apparently also to the Congressional idiots on the banking committee, who sat around stupidly nodding their heads at this outrage - I assume because they are not bright enough to know when their intelligence is blatantly being insulted! Jeez!
Then, he explained to these Congressional halfwits, your average consumer will settle for a basket of goods and services containing less satisfaction (but at the same cost) by not getting what they want, because the price is too high, but happily substituting something else that is cheaper but less desirable, and thus, at the end of the asinine mumbo-jumbo, the consumer did not end up spending more money to buy the aggregate basket of goods and services! So (they figure), no inflation! Hahaha!
