Cadbury says Chinese-made chocolate have melamine

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080929/ap_on_re_as/as_cadbury_chocolate_recall

CHINA STRIKES AGAIN!

It appears that one more time China strikes again!  The Heinz Company evidently has their dry baby cereals manufactured in China, and they are finding traces of melamine in the cereal.  Heniz is doing a voluntary recall of the products.  So for those of us who use baby cereals and mix with baby meats when we have dogs with an upset intestinal system, you may want to choose  Gerber products which are made in the US. This also effected the Silang House steamed potato wasabi crackers as well.  I had never used them, but just in case someone else does.

The scheme is actually pretty simple. Please forgive my primitive graphics abilities.
The fund will buy mortgages from the banks at market value, and then re-sell them back to the banks at a discount. The fund will then repurchase those mortgages from the banks, who will sell them back to the fund again. The same product (perhaps an ill-advised mortgage for a half-million dollars taken out on a house in the distant suburbs of Las Vegas) will be bought, then resold, then re-bought and re-resold in an endless spiral of profit-taking. The taxpayer will lose on every transaction, the banks robbing the treasury each time each mortgage, or package of mortgages is swapped.

It is amazing to observe the greatest transfer of wealth in history, from Main Street to Wall Street, from the many to the few. What is even more amazing is that nobody seems to be stopping it.

Sarah Palin has been talking up her “foreign policy experience.” Palin has said that because Alaska is right next door to both Russia and Canada, her time as Governor has given her some experience in international relations as she deals with leaders in the region. I live in Whitehorse, in the Yukon Territory, so I am one of Palin’s neighbours. To be honest, I didn’t know much at all about Palin prior to her emergence on the national stage. I did a little reserach on Palin’s neighbourhood visits, and learned that although she has never had a meeting with Governor Alexey Kuzmitsky of Kamchatka Oblast, or Governor Roman Kopin of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug or whoever the Governor of the Koryak Autonomous Okrug is, (trust me, Palin doesn’t know either) she has met with with my Premier, Dennis Fentie.

In fact, prior to the photo ops with various heads of state at the UN the other day, Yukon Premier Dennis Fentie was the only foreign leader that Palin had ever had a meeting with. (more…)

CEO of failed Washington Mutual entitled to millions after only a few weeks on job

WASHINGTON (AP) — The CEO of failed Washington Mutual Inc., on the job only a few weeks before the nation’s largest thrift was seized by the government and sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co., is entitled to more than $13 million in severance and bonus pay. Alan H. Fishman signed an agreement that provides around $6 million in cash severance and retention of his signing bonus of $7.5 million if he were to leave his job, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Keating Five Ring a Bell?

Rosa Brooks writes for The Los Angeles Times

 “Once upon a  time, a politician took campaign contributions and favors from a  friendly constituent who happened to run a savings and loan association.  The contributions were generous: They came to about $200,000 in today’s  dollars, and on top of that there were several free vacations for the  politician and his family, along with private jet trips and other perks.  The politician voted repeatedly against congressional efforts to tighten  regulation of S&Ls, and in 1987, when he learned that his constituent’s  S&L was the target of a federal investigation, he met with regulators in  an effort to get them to back off. That politician was John McCain, and  his generous friend was Charles Keating, head of Lincoln Savings & Loan.”

U.S. DU Weapons Have Killed 70,000 American Troops in Iraq
Over 70,000 deaths, and over 1 million disabilities among American soldiers attributed to Iraq Wars says U.S. government data
(American Gulf War Veterans Association)
(Highlights)

According to U.S. media reports, there are well below 5,000 U.S. soldiers who have been killed in Iraq. However, this data appears to be very misleading. Why? Because many tens of thousands of American soldiers have apparently been killed to-date, as a result of being exposed to radiation poisoning from the indiscriminate killing machines of U.S. military weaponry. Ironically, the only Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that Americans soldiers have found in Iraq are “Made in America”.

PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s To Use Human Milk Group Says Move Would Help Humans, Cows

WATERBURY, Vt. — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow’s milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.

“PETA’s request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow’s milk in the food he serves,” the statement says.

PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s To Use Human Milk

PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health. function surveyResults17542739

“The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn’t make sense,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Everyone knows that ‘the breast is best,’ so Ben & Jerry’s could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk.”
