Meanwhile, on your side of the world... The Global Downturn Lands With a Zud on Mongolia's Nomads Falling Cashmere Demand Triggers Defaults, Forced Goat Sales and a Livestock Glut By GORDON FAIRCLOUGH TSOGT, Mongolia -- Waves from the global economic downturn hit Sodnomdarjaa Khaltarkhuu when bank officials showed up at his tent on the edge of the Gobi desert and threatened to foreclose on his goats, sheep and camels. Falling demand for cashmere among recession-hit shoppers in the West is cutting into earnings among nomadic herders in Mongolia, whose goats produce the soft fiber used in high-end sweaters, scarves and coats. The result: herder loan defaults. more: online.wsj.com

<<This time there are pictures of Summers, hand in chin - and what's worse - as the president is speaking.>> Obviously the guy has a medical, drug, drinking, viagra, extra woman or two,problem and what is worse is people thumbing their blackbery bone when someone is speaking, especially any "leader."

One or two instances of falling asleep are forgivable. They really don't prove much of anything. I'd get sleepy, too, if I had to listen to a steady drone of empty stentorian bombast as part of my job. What Summers has not explained - for which the adoring Obamamanic press has given him a pass - are the millions in 'consulting' and 'speaking' fees [make work] he made from hedge funds and Wall St. immediately before joining Da Man's main economic team. You have to be very sharp-eyed to pick up those details for the press adores Obummer and his inept tax-scamming team [the number of tax cheats in high office under O! is almost comical.] It will not call these made-in-America Putinesque oligarchs on their pecadillos which everywhere else would be called anticipatory bribes. washingtonpost.com

SEAL-gate is potentially a bigger scandal than Benghazi, Libya. The administration — along with the top military brass — are desperately trying to cover up what took place on that fateful raid. Taliban guerrillas were waiting for the Chinook as it approached its landing site. Apparently, someone tipped them off that the SEALs were coming; the helicopter was attacked from three sides in a coordinated ambush. The U.S. militaryclaimed that the Chinook was blown to pieces by a shoulder-fired missile, in which everyone on board was burned beyond recognition. Hence, senior military officials ordered the American bodies cremated without the prior approval of their family members. Read more: washingtontimes.com
