| Meanwhile, the world’s leading producers say oil is too expensive and they plan to increase supplies.
A source at Opec said its 13 members were uncomfortable with the current price of crude, which last week hit a record $135 a barrel. Based on present supply and demand, he said it should be fetching $60-$70 a barrel. |

A Working Toilet Is a Top Priority
| “Clearly, having a working toilet is a priority for us, so some of these things that we didn’t need for the next six months or so could wait,” said payload manager Scott Higginbotham. |
You really do have to prioritize. Oh, and the shuttle commander for this mission had to weigh in on the subject with an interesting play on words:
| “As soon as we get a couple more spare parts that I’m sure some of you guys have heard about … we’re going to be all ready to go.” |
Was that pun intentional? 😯
Sincere Whistleblowers Don’t Wait

If it is to come, of course it can’t be stopped. And from the same story, this jewel:
| Women will always be having babies, she notes . . . . |
If she’s wrong, the powers that be will be powerless. Which means they will no longer be the powers that be. In which case, women do indeed rule the planet.
