Is this a gift to Hilary Clinton, given to her just in time to use it to destroy her nemesis Barack (Redacted) Obama?
From WBBM Chicago:
CHICAGO (STNG) - Jurors in Tony Rezko's corruption trial, perhaps giving a
sign they are nearing a verdict, said Tuesday they will work late Wednesday and
Thursday to "help conclude our decision."
The jury ended its deliberations early Tuesday -- at noon -- so one juror
could go to a job interview, according to a note, from May 21, that U.S.
District Judge Amy St. Eve read in court.
To make up for the short day, jurors said they will stay until 5:50 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday. They already had indicated they would not meet
Friday.
Since May 13, jurors have deliberated on seven separate occasions,
including three half-days. Their total deliberation time so far is the
equivalent of 5 ½ days.
The jury is made up of 10 women and two men, six of them white and six
black.

THE OIL BUBBLE IS LEAKING - MAY BE ABOUT TO POP
By Pastorius
Reliapundit has been faithfully documenting his theory that the run-up we are seeing in oil prices has all the classic features of a market bubble.
It appears Reliapundit may, yet again, be correct:
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures fell further on Wednesday, with
traders reacting to growing concern that high gasoline prices at the pump will
cut demand.
Crude for July delivery fell $1.65 to $127.20 a barrel. The drop in oil
prices follows a slide of more than 2% in Tuesday's session on the New York
Mercantile Exchange. |
