Saudi King Dies

Death of Saudi king unsettles oil market, prices waver
Oil prices rose initially on news of the death of Saudi Arabia's powerful King Abdullah, but the increase was moderate and short-lived.
The king's death is unlikely to lead to a change in the kingdom's immense crude production or change the course of oil prices in the coming months, analysts say.

To be fair to Saudi Arabia, 4 of the 19 9/11 hijackers weren't from there.- LOLGOP

Loaded Guns In Airports
The next time you are standing in the security line at the airport, be aware that some of your fellow passengers may be packing more than just clothes.

"We saved an economy that was on the brink of depression. We've created 11 million new jobs. We've doubled clean energy. We've reduced pollution. We've made sure that more young people can go to college. We have given now so far 10 million people health insurance that didn't have it before, and that's going to grow over time. We have ended two wars in a responsible way." —President Obama
