Sports and politics may be a lot of fun right now, but the world is going to shit. Oil prices made a record jump today to $138 a barrel, after Israel basically told Iran t war was “unavoidable.” NYT says:

The unprecedented gains on Friday capped a second day of strong gains on energy markets, and fueled suspicions that commodities might be caught in a speculative bubble.
Shaul Mofaz, Israel’s deputy prime minister, anti-Golan Heights peace deal maker, and all around dickhead, said today via Haaretz:

The sanctions are ineffective,” Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper. “Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable,” said the former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff who later served as defense minister.
