A Desperate McCain Attacks Obama With Vicious Smears | PEEK | AlterNet
Note: "The title of McCain's latest TV ad says it all: "Dangerous." The ad brands Obama as "dishonorable," "dangerous," and "too risky for America." That's right, folks, it time to appeal to the voters' Lizard Brains. For the moment, McCain is allowing his high-sticking hockey mom to lead the fear-mongering parade, accusing Obama of "palling around with terrorists" and not seeing America "like you and I see America." "

Note: Oil sinks below $90 as commodities retreat : By Chris Flood - US crude oil prices fell below the $90 a barrel level on Monday, leading a broad retreat across energy, metals and grains as commodities found themselves battered by the ongoing storm sweeping global financial markets. Nymex November West Texas Intermediate sank $3.73 to $90.15 a barrel after touching a low of $89.07, while ICE November Brent fell $3.68 to $90.20 a barrel after reaching a low of $85.56. The net long position held by speculators in crude oil fell modestly, down 3.9 per cent to 40,093 lots in the week ending September 30 when WTI reached $100.64 a barrel. Traders said that hedge funds were adopting an increasingly bearish stance towards the energy complex with the net short position in US natural gas reaching a record high while the net long positions in heating oil and RBOB gasoline had fallen to their lowest levels since August 2007 and February 2007, respectively.
