Re: Alex Jones' Tornado Conspiracy

we here on the Left have some nutjobs who believe the Bush White House actually planned the 9/11...

From the Maddow clip, evidently Alex Jones believes 9/11 was an inside job too.

Re: I must thank my son (KMB)

True. I got the parent company wrong. At the time it was a lucky mistake.

I just thought, "these diapers are a great business" and I knew KMB made diapers. I never checked which brand. It was 2009 and the discount was a no-brainer.

I must thank my son (KMB)

My son was born in 2009. I can't remember the exact details, but my wife received a huge pack of free diapers from somewhere. The brand was the #2 or #3 brand in Europe.

Re: Saudi peaked II

T,

What do you think the refineries are for? They want to export finished product instead of crude. This has been going on for the past decade.

Re: Lufthansa not what it used to be

Cal,

Sorry to hear it. I fly Lufthansa quite a bit from FRA and never had a bad flight. Never a great flight, either. Always sitting in the cheap seats. We'll see how fun that is going to Singapore next month...

What's the track record on Russian O&G JVs?

Not entirely negative. As an example, Sakhalin-2 was overbudget, but it is now producing and Shell still owns their share.

Re: Dept: 'Who knew?'

So he's saying Russia could pump enough oil to almost half-fill the Atlantic??

He's also saying that Russia couldn't find investors willing to build a pipeline and other infrastructure to get that much oil.
