Aaron Regent, president of the Canadian gold giant, said that global output has been falling by roughly 1m ounces a year since the start of the decade. Total mine supply has dropped by 10pc as ore quality erodes, implying that the roaring bull market of the last eight years may have further to run.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.
Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.

Well gang at Cheers, this is it for this season and I have to say it (the season and the episode) wasn’t all that and the bag of chips I was expecting.

ACORN Stings: The Untold Story

Like most people, I heard during the 2008 campaign that Obama was a community organizer and, again like most people, had no idea what that job was even after Obama was elected. I mean, most of us lived in communities, but we don’t recall paying anyone to organize them.

'Un-American' attacks can't derail health care debate
By Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer
Americans have been waiting for nearly a century for quality, affordable health care.
Health coverage for all was on the national agenda as early as 1912, thanks to Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose presidential run. Months after World War II came to an end in 1945, President Harry Truman called on Congress to guarantee all Americans the "right to adequate medical care and protection from the economic fears of sickness."

In order to live where I do, you have to have an open mind, and I guess not a lot of things surprise me anymore because I have interesting people of all kinds that live around me. I live in the woods out in the country so it is very nice, quiet most of the time except for wildlife, get shelter from the trees from wind and storms, watch naked neighbor frolic around in the woods...wait. Did I just say something about a naked neighbor frolicking in the woods?

PUBLIC POST *
===============================================
I blogged about Michelle Obama’s role in creating a patient-dumping scheme for the University of Chicago Medical Center back in March. With her husband and the Democrats unleashing health care horror story anecdotes to gin up public fear and build support for the beleaguered Obamacare plan, my syndicated column today revisits the kind of “reform” the Obamas and their Chicago cronies champion — and who benefits.
Here’s a challenge to the ABC News Obamacare infomercial producers.
