Nah, that's more like "look at the alternate universe we SHOULD have had". Yeah, if Gore had won, we would have $6 a gallon gas! Please. The Gore put down is pure speculation at best and more blame the big scary Liberal at most. The reality is we do have a former oil man as president and we do pay in excess of $4.00 for a gallon of gas. The oil companies are whining incessently about wanting to drill in Alaska and not coincidentally the prices keep going up while they make abusively high billion dollar profits. Which seems more real to you?

The so-called "invisible hand of the marketplace" is morally corrupt and ethically bankrupt. Bank on it.

Then how do you account for the $18 Billion dollar free-and-clear profit, then? At what point do we allow ourselves to see a clear and present indication of price gouging in an effort to move people to allow the oil greed-heads to drill in Alaska? Suppy and demand does not equal abusive profiteering. I'm sorry...it just doesn't.

Exactly my point. The oil companies boasted an $18 Billion dollar profit [that's billion with a B and it is free and clear money after everything has been paid for] and their hue and cry is supply and demand? Bullshit. These bastards get government tax breaks and subsidies, too. Can you believe the arrogance? It is all about the greed and artificially forcing the prices up so we will cave in to their demands to drill in the Alaska Wilderness. I say, "Eat shit and die!" Oil company Sons of Bitches.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Martin. Thanks for the laughs.

Well, she certainly has a body that could stop trucks, er....Formula 1's.

Thanks for the link, Chuck. Looks like I'll see the check sometime late-June/early-July. By then it ought to buy a gallon of gas.

Remember that economy boosting tax rebate we were all supposed to get by mid-May? Yeah, I haven't seen it either. Check must be in the mail, huh.

$4.35 a gallon here. This after an $18 Billion dollar quarterly profit recently reported by the oil companies. Supply and demand my butt.

Sorry. I prefer the real deal:

All the Best, Jim!

Me either; I'm back on dial up... Make that three. Was that supposed to be funny....?

Pssh. Child's play, Dan. Giants drop two today. Giants wrote the book on shitty. Grrrrrr

All you should care about is his ERA of late. 3.23 in his last 4 starts...if he can keep that up, he won't be the biggest bust of all time... True. Just the most expensive.

I changed one answer [Frontage Road vs. Access Road; I use both terms] and I get: 42% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. I think I'm calling BS on this one, Guys.

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. Which makes no sense to me because my family hails from the Upper Midwest and California. My wife is from Connecticut. And the farthest South I have ever lived was in Southern California. They need a Western Dialect category.

Zito is 1-8 now. Be still my heart.
