Anybody but me noticing the repeated links each day to Pajamas Media by co-owner/founder Glenn Reynolds? Ever wonder why? Couldn't be his share of the ad money, could it? I mean while we are all on an integrity binge why not divulge commissions from Amazon referrals too? Ain't honesty a bitch? More and more "bloggers" are collecting fees for links, which is OK if the fees are disclosed; like Drudge bribed me for this link? Or I share ad revenue from this link? If these people worked in the too maligned MSM they would have to.

Energy note: the price of crude as reported for Saudi oil is correct. It is much lower than the West Texas Intermediate delivered to Oklahoma. That's because Saudi oil ain't the greatest oil anymore and must sell at a discount and it costs moola to deliver to Oklahoma.

The price of Opec’s crude oil on Wednesday fell to $55.27 while Brent oil futures traded in London slipped 33 cents to $58 a barrel, 26 per cent below their July peak. WTI in New York settled at $59.76 at the 3PM EDT close.

And if the OPEC price includes all the shit high sulphur oil produced from all members it has to be lower.
