Time for 'new world order': Brazilian President

Time for 'new world order': Brazilian President

Jun 17 11:45 AM US/Eastern The global financial crisis has reduced the differences between nations and created the opportunity to form a new world order, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday. Speaking after a meeting with Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev in the Kazakh capital Astana, Lula called on the global community to seize on the crisis to create a fairer world for developing nations. "I want to say that before the crisis, there were many countries which had greater significance than others, and some countries which had no significance at all," he said through a translator. "After the crisis, everyone has become similar. We have the possibility to create a new world order and together we should improve our relations." Lula arrived in Kazakhstan Wednesday following the first-ever summit between fellow developing economic powerhouses Russia, India and China -- together with Brazil dubbed the BRIC nations -- in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. Nazarbayev, head of Central Asia's largest economy, is keen to secure a larger role for his government in world affairs. Following up on Lula's call, the pair said in a statement following their meeting that the United Nations should open up the UN Security Council to developing nations in an effort to bolster global security. They said that opening the organisation, which only has five permanent members, to wider membership was the only way to make the often-criticised body "more legitimate and effective." breitbart.com

Libertarian Classic: The Incredible Bread Machine

Thanks, congress. Obama can say anything he wants to woo the people, don't matta. And while we roll back our environmental commitment, China launches their Green Energy Revolution. Nice. Also the headline is yet another example of Raw Story crap. I like their converage, but the editing sucks.

Just the guy for the job. Read the comments, too. They're usually interesting to read, if not educational.

In case you're wondering, the US trade deficit continues to widen.

AND FOR THE GOOD NEWS!!!!
Rhode Island backs medical marijuana retailers. About damn time. Another example of garbage legislation. It is obvious at this point to any right-thinking individual that actually knows what they're talking about that mj should be legalized. Period.

Oh oh oh, I just noticed. Lots of interesting stuff today on RS. Peter Schiff considering senate run He's on the daily show, and manages to keep Stewart from throwing him off with the constant joking. (not that that is ever Stewart's intention)

Later

Who just types random stuff in search bars? (esp. when they're drunk) I mean, come on.

So I was typing in search topics in Google Trends, which by the way is a really cool tool/game, and came upon an interesting one.

I personally thought this was funny. And I like the spike towards the end of '05. What could have caused that? Any ideas?
(It doesn't come up with anything if you use the punctuation.)

They need to actually show some numbers on those graphs. A lot less interesting this way, but it's still amazing that you can access this type of info.
