The whole system is shaky because of fractional reserves, of course, but if you have more than $100,000 in Wachovia, WaMu, or Downey, GET IT OUT.

Advice from Peter Schiff
The actual inflation rate right now is about 10-12% per year (in spite of what the CPI says). Next year at this time, the rate of inflation will be about 20%. So, if the cost of living is going up 20% per year, if you've got an extra $1000, and you have a house and extra storage space, why not buy what you need now. Don't leave your money sitting in an account. Go to Costco or a place where you can buy in bulk and stock up on things you will need. Store stuff, not dollars.

Arizona school strip searches female student ....
...because they thought she was hiding something.
A US appeals court ruled that the school violated the constitutional rights of this 13-year old student. They had her remove her clothes because they had received a tip from another student that she had drugs in her possession. However, they didn't find what they were looking for.
What drug were they looking for? Ibuprofen. You can buy Ibuprofen over the counter. It's the same thing as Advil or Motrin.

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:14:45
A Pentagon official says the US president has given the 'amber light' to an Israeli plan to attack Iran with long-range bombing sorties.
The senior Pentagon official told The Sunday Times that despite widespread opposition in the US administration President George W. Bush had informed Israel he may be prepared to approve a military strike on Iran's nuclear sites.
"Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready," said the official.
