Interesting report.

on ABC News this morning, as the price of gasoline nears, and in some places goes over, $4/gal and threatens to set back our fragile 'recovery'. Most prices are determined on a supply and demand basis, BUT, while big oil is again making record profits there is a huge glut of oil in the US, with no place to store any more. Since the consolidation of the oil companies under the Bush admin, when they tossed out the 'monopoly/anti-trust' rules that used to apply, the few MASSIVE oil companies that remain can name their own price for the products we all so desparately need.  Looks like Exxon Mobil is on track to break their all-time profit records, in the hundreds of biilions, in the near future. I sure hope the board members remember to drop Dick and George a 'thank you' note.

I 'deleted' the last comment, but will reply to it. I can't forgive/forget Bush when his policies impact my everyday life in SO many ways, all negatively. He wrecked our way of life, more so than any single person in the history of the country. Just look at the wars, gas prices and wrecked home values/economy. It didn't 'just happen'.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
