Crude oil declined to six-week low as rising U.S. jobless claims and a contraction in manufacturing added to concern growth in the world’s biggest oil-consuming nation is slowing.

Oil, down 2.4 percent this week, fell after the Labor Department said yesterday weekly claims for unemployment benefits climbed to the highest level since November. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s general economic index dropped to the lowest reading since July 2009. Total U.S. inventories of crude and oil products reached the highest in at least 20 years, Energy Department data showed earlier this week.

“You certainly see an overhang developing in oil product stocks in the U.S.,” said Harry Tchilinguirian, head of commodity markets strategy at BNP Paribas SA in London. “Gasoline demand has witnessed a difficult recovery from its recession induced-lows, and one of the main stumbling blocks for this has been high U.S. unemployment.”

I'm confused as to if you want me to feel bad that oil prices are down or that tons of people are on unemployment.

"Did you know that when people are forced to live on the street the price of my stocks go down?"

Maybe the muslim center will help unemployment?

Oh we can't build that.Its hallowed ground(3 blocks away from ground zero).The Burlington Coat factory that previously occupied that space is a true memorial to the fallen.

President Barack Obama is a Christian who prays daily, a White House official said Thursday, trying to tamp down growing doubts about the president's religion

Wait, Obama isn't muslim? Franklin Graham says he was born a Muslim and Muslims see him as one of their own. So who is right? The Muslims or 54% of republicans? This is sort of important.

I think Obama worships only Obama.

[Anhil8tor]

Of that 46%, at least 40% claim to be Christian. 35% of those probably attend a religious service twice a year. Islam is hate a hate mongering religion? What higher being do these bigots worship? Organized religion is a piece of shit. Oh yeah, fuck Anhil8tor's buddy Glenn Beck too.

[BIRD33]

I guarantee 95% of that group identifies as Christian.

They have something in common with Muslims.They follow the only one true religion as well.Glorified sports teams and their hooligan fans.

Well, we were there. And this crowd of what can only be described as 'complete idiots' did not disappoint in the stereotypical know-nothing asshole department. But why drag politics into this? You're here for the pictures of yokels wearing matching t-shirts, right?




Here's the thing about a Glenn Beck rally: when you go dressed up as a 6-foot tall pregnant demon in heels with a sign that reads "I Want a Sandwich", the Tea-Partiers really have no idea what to do. Should they be angry? Should they be amused? What does the sign mean? Why is that demon pregnant? It scares them. Not because the mask is scary (although it is). It scares them because they don't understand it and it's different than they are.
