Reuters reaches an all time low in reporting!.
At least, according to their own reasoning.
Headline:
US Oil Prices Hit an All-Time Record High
In the actual story:
Allowing for inflation, prices are still only half of where they where during the oil price shock that followed the Iranian revolution in 1979.
It's an all-time record...except for the other, higher prices that have occurred in past years.
What is it with the mainstream media? Don't they see how silly they look to the rest of us? [Reality Hammer]

Muchas Gracias
London's Daily Telegraph reports that Spanish soldiers aren't happy about being called home from Iraq as part of the new Socialist government's policy of appeasing terrorists:
Cpl José Francisco García Casteñeda, who previously completed three tours in Bosnia, said: "We left our coalition colleagues behind and abandoned the local people, who are living in wretched conditions."
Sitting at the same cafe table, Sgt Manuel García, 31, went further in his criticism of the withdrawal. "We felt used and let down by the politicians. Zapatero made the move purely for his own popularity," he said.
Garcia also complains about Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's visit to a military base: "It was just a photocall. He did not address us and the king did not come. No thanks were given. There was no encouragement for the job we did. It was a celebration for Mr Zapatero." [WSJ]

Democrats Outraged By Outrage at Outrage
"A vicious cycle of outrage threatens to swallow up Washington following Sen. Inhofe's (R. Okla.) statement earlier this week that he was "more outraged by the outrage than he was by the treatment" of Abu Ghraib prisoners. Democrats immediately became outraged that he was more outraged by the outrage, and now Republicans are livid that Democrats are furious at Sen. Inhofe's acrimony."
