Along with agreeing to snap inspections by the IEAA, Iran has now appealed the UN to have the USA stop their threats of war, citing among other things Bush’s declaration that “all options are on the table”. Mohammad Javad Zarif also said in the letter, “U.S. officials are impudently threatening Iran with use of force in blatant contravention of international law and the basic principles of United Nations Charter” and “U.S. threats against Iran have found new dimension to the extent that U.S. dailies are publishing stories about possibility of aggression on Iran and whether the U.S. would use nuclear arms against Iran and the U.S. officials do not reject such stories”.

So of course the biggest news on Fox and CNN is the massive rallies held by the illegal immigrants that represent a large portion of the cheap labour they get for menial jobs. On the other side of the pond though, the Economic Editor for the Times is saying May is the month for the amerikan dollar to start it’s inevitable slide. The Times of India is warning its readership too, the M3 figure non-news made the US media exactly once, for one day, but it’s been on the mind of many that aren’t attached to the North American main stream media.

The US Commonwealth countries aren’t doing so well either, we’ve seen the effects of US multinationals on Haiti, and the job is getting done just as well in Puerto Rico with the country’s government being shut down. At least there are still countries out there like Jordan, willing to let their people be exploited so that Walmart and Target can sell cheap clothing.

The stock market is getting jittery too finally, with many calling for a “correction” to happen in May, but that doesn’t stop govt. from acting like a crack head with a credit card and trying to spend their way out of debt, but the other big countries are getting tired of playing their game. And forget about flipping that extra home unless you are in a market like Vancouver, Canada.

Meanwhile back home, our govt. has given a small fraction of the money we give them back to us, and there’s a new place to hack with the discovery that those electronic billboards that are everywhere, are connected to the internet and the first defacement was,”Stephen Harper eats babies” on Toronto’s city trains. One of the commuters who saw it said, “I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he, in that time, eat a baby.”

And the good news is, it’s a real nice sunny day and the scent of the lawn cuttings from yesterday are wafting through the window and no terrorists have been spotted in this neck of the woods.
