Saudi Arabai Kicks OPEC In The Balls

Well, our great friends the Saudis have just murdered OPEC.

Saudi Arabia walked out on OPEC yesterday, saying it would not honor the cartel's production cut. It was tired of rants from Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and the well-dressed oil minister from Iran.

As the world's largest crude exporter, the kingdom in the desert took its ball and went home.

As the Saudis left the building, the message was shockingly clear. “Saudi Arabia will meet the market’s demand,” a senior OPEC delegate told the New York Times. “We will see what the market requires and we will not leave a customer without oil.
What a nice gift. It almost makes one forget that most of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, but not quite.

Question: I just want to know: Did you get the Palin rape kit story from my comments at Daily Kos
i.e. this one http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/9/6/12251/86155/16#c16

or did you come across it through either opedna's site (who got it from me?)

Or did you get it directly from the Frontiersman archives?

I just want to know so I can pat myself on the back for breaking the story and all.

I pulled the story off Google reader. It was just the story, I hadn't seen opedna's post, but it definitely came before mine.

I assume you broke the story. Pat away.
