Lebron James Gives Charles Barkley A Piece Of His Mind!

Let me reiterate that I find Charles Barkley to be a very unlikeable man. He is rude & abrasive which is just the type of guy that I loathe. So, when Lebron James called him "stupid" I was pleased. You see, it seeems like Mr. Barkley always has some negative comment to make. He shouldn't give a hot flying you-know-what about Lebron James or anyone else. You go, Lebron!

Will Ugandan LRA Leader, Joseph Kony, Sign A Peace Deal That Will End A 20 Year Rebellion?

Will the leader of the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army,Joseph Kony, actually sign the peace deal to end Uganda's 20-yr. rebellion or will he be a no-show? Because he feared for his safety, he neglected to appear at previous signing ceremonies. Joseph Kony is accused of being a war criminal & he must first sign this deal before he faces the International Criminal Court to deal with those accusations. Here's more from BBC:

"Earlier, Uganda's government said it would ask for arrest warrants for Mr Kony to be lifted if he signed.

But Ugandan Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa made it clear that Mr Kony must sign the deal first before the issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was addressed.

"We were only prepared to talk to the ICC about an alternative method of resolving that dispute, and also of justice in the country, only if peace is going to come to the people of northern Uganda," he told the BBC's World Today programme."

This first video shows a press conference that Joseph Kony held about a year ago.Some of the very young members of the army are questioned & you can see Joseph Kony up close & personal. He blames not himself, but the Ugandan government, for all of Uganda's woes.The second video talks about the 20-year conflict & how it has affected Northern Uganda. It is very edifying.

Opec Isn't Happy With The Steady Decline In The Price Of Oil! Cartel Members Hold Meeting In Cairo To Discuss!

Opec has already tried to cut the output of barrels just last month,but that did nothing to stop the steady decline in the price of oil. Venezuela,an Opec member, wants to cut the amount of oil that is produced by a million barrels per day to increase the price of oil. Right now, the price of oil is below $55 a barrel. Here's more from BBC:

"Opec ministers are meeting in Cairo to discuss the recent steep fall in the price of oil.

Falls in demand in the US, the world's top energy consumer, and other industrialised countries, have helped drive prices down from a record peak of more than $147 a barrel.

Opec, which accounts for 40% of global oil production, cut output by 1.5 million barrels a day last month, but the move failed to stop prices from declining.

While cartel members have not ruled out making another output cut, some say the impact of the existing cuts still have to be felt.

"Combined with weakening non-Opec supplies, the projected...output curtailment suggests that the oil market could actually tighten moving into 2009," Barclays Capital said in a research note."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7756168.stm

It pains me that the United States consumes more oil than any other industrialised country. Hopefully under Barack Obama,that will change also.
