* SAME > "BENDERA" RADICAL GROUP IN INDONESIA PROCLAIMS DECLARATION OF WAR AGZ MALAYSIA + JAPAN [designs for 10/8/09 Terror event in Nippon]; THE RISE OF CHINA'S NAVAL HISTORY, END OF THE US MILITARY RAMPAGE IN THE PACIFIC. US dominance likely won't end right away, but its coming.

#4 'Shovel-ready' spending. Shovel the money at the politicians and they'll spend it.
But I guess they need a 5.8% budget increase since they have so much more mega-legislation to oversee.
Seriously, how many of y'all are getting an extra 5.8% in free money this year? Of course our esteemed New Orleans City Council is trying to vote itself (effective next term, to its limited credit) almost a 100% raise.

#7 But if ACORN isn't to get any more funding, the money has to be spent somehow.

#8 Seems Congress is dead set on determining how close to zero they can get their approval numbers.
