Many countries, like Russia, have borrowed to fuel their growth. They now need to sell oil to service that debt. Not being able to refinance is forcing those countries to sell oil at any price.

Poll Result: Taxes and Fairness

Is it better to:

Lower taxes to achieve more money 71%, (5-2)
Raise taxes to achieve "fairness" 28%

Well I guess there is still a lot (28%) of envy out there.

Palin on SNL

Lorne Michaels on Palin:
"I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman. This was her first time out and she's had a huge impact. People connect to her."

Alex Baldwin on Palin:
"When you come on a show like that, you are prepared in advance to get worked over. Palin knew that. Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was. She was polite, gracious. (More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me.)"

The question begins 1:25 into clip below.
