Who sent 22 military police and an Army officer into the tiny Alabama town of Samson last week after a gunman went on a rampage that left 11 people dead? That's what the U.S. Army would like to know.
I'm cautiously worried about this one. Guy was on a rampage, and communities often have agreements with nearby bases to help--Eglin lends their bomb-sniffing dogs to our sheriff's department and city police. But in this case, seems like a lot of MPs and no one knowing how they got there. Not good.

World Needs Single Currency To Beat Crisis - Kazakh President
Kazakh leader calls for single global currency
Nobel-prize winner backs world currency

Geithner Urges ‘Forceful’ G-20 Action, More IMF Funds
The Obama administration soon will also push Congress for legislation that allows the IMF to “mobilize” its stockpile of gold, Geithner said today. Congress would need to approve the IMF funding expansion, although it wouldn’t count against the budget deficit, he said.
Those of you who think gold will be the accepted currency of an apocalypse, take note. It's also subject to manipulation.

Two, the economy isn't the only reason for our unease. There's more to it. People sense something slipping away, a world receding, not only an economic one but a world of old structures, old ways and assumptions. People don't talk about this much because it's too big, but I suspect more than a few see themselves, deep down, as "the designated mourner," from the title of the Wallace Shawn play.
