On the Hill or the Rock
(Sur la colline ou de la roche)
In the Japan’s Fuji TV late-night news program, last night, they presented an interview video of Ms. Condoleezza Rice by Ms. Yuko Andou, a notable Japanese newscaster.
Ms. Rice looked relaxing in Tokyo and said that she would not run for Vice President this year and wanted to go back home after spending this year in Washington D.C.
It is also said that the US Secretary of State met with the Prime Minister of Israel in Tokyo yesterday.
The TV news program also introduced the next possible Russian President, yet to be elected by voters, who invited the rock band Deep Purple to Russia by leveraging funds of Gasprom.
(When Deep Purple first sprang to life on a North Sea ferry in 1968, not even Nostradamus could have predicted that the band would be headlining a gala show in Moscow Kremlin 40 years later. Yet here we are —...)

The TV news program also presented the debate between “Hillary” and “Obama” being so intensified over the Medicare issue.
Indeed, we can see the world changing.
But, do you know the song "The Fool on the Hill" Mr. Paul McCartney sang decades ago.

Indeed, "but the fool on the hill, sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round."
(Yet, who do you think Paul met with on a hill looking down on London who magically disappeared while the young good-natured singer was looking for his stray dog?)
As I saw news enough last night on TV, I do not have much to say today, but please ponder the implication of one remark on oil prices posted on the Hill Blog by the president of a prominent US think tank:
As oil approaches $100 a barrel some pundits contend the price could reach $200 a barrel and could undermine western economies, involving an historic transfer of capital to oil producing nations. While this could happen, I remain unconvinced, maintaining several logical expectations…

For your reference, I am now checking the Japanese version of the book “Histoire du petrole” by Etienne Dalemont et Jean Carrie.
It apparently tells that the enemies of Arabs have been more the U.K., France, and Germany than the U.S.
AlQaeda really tried to take a wrong target, probably, due to Mr. Osama bin Laden’s personally held grudges, in my theory.
Now, Arabs and Russians should act definitely as an intermediary between the U.S. and Iran without relying on the US Secretary of State busy for the North Korean issue or waiting for the next US President to be elected, since in Japanese crude oil is expressed as “rock (stone) oil” and the rock might destroy anything as the Gospel tells.
(Indeed, this is my conclusion from observation of the world last night like spinning round, round, round, and around a snake on the rock before, say, a rabbit…See the news on Friday, too!)
