		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;According to AAA, gas prices have risen 40 percent in the last year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;If &lt;/strong&gt;that rate continues for 1 year and 9 months ( somewhere around April 2010)then the price of gas will be around $8.00 per gallon. If it continues for 3 years 6 months (somewhere around Jan. 2012) the price will be $16.00 per gallon.</description>

		<description>Shades of Obama!

&lt;em&gt;Matthew Edward Gonzalez was born in McAllen, Texas, to a Mexican mother, Oralia, and Mexican-American father, Mateo. &lt;strong&gt;Gonzalez spent his first four years in San Juan, Puerto Rico.&lt;/strong&gt; The Gonzalez family migrated to New Orleans, Louisiana; Baltimore, Maryland; and Louisville, Kentucky, before the family returned to McAllen when Gonzalez was eleven years old.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>The Weasel pops up (from C&amp;L):

&lt;strong&gt;Where in the World is Karl Rove? &lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Karl Rove is roving the beaches of the Crimea, not the committee rooms of Congress. Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times reached the former White House Senior Svengali by cell phone in the Eastern European resort to ask for his reaction to the death of Tony Snow.

Mr. Rove ignored a subpoena and failed to appear for testimony before a House Judiciary subcommittee. According to Rep. Linda Sánchez (D, CA-39), Mr. Rove’s lawyer, Robert D. Luskin (a partner in Patton Boggs LLP), “forgot” to tell committee staffers that his client had scheduled what Rep. Chris Cannon (R, UT-3) described as a “long-planned trip” abroad.

The Crimea, on the Black Sea, is a famed tourist area, a peninsula that was part of the USSR. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the area, ancestral homeland of the Tatar people, has become an “autonomous republic” within Ukraine. This seems to be controversial, as some Ukrainians see the ”autonomous republic” status as the start of a separatist movement; others see it as a smoke screen for continued Russian interference in the peninsula, long a strategic naval asset.

Ukraine does not have an extradition treaty with the US, according to the Congressional Research Service, and ”Contempt of Congress” may not be a crime in the Crimea. At least we don’t have to worry about Mr. Rove obtaining undue influence over the Crimean president — there isn’t one.  The Head of State of Crimea is the President of Ukraine (Viktor Yushchenko).&lt;/em&gt;
______________________________________________________________

Rove heads for an &lt;em&gt;extraditionless&lt;/em&gt; vacation-spot.  

He must have been a little scared of the prospect, after ducking out on the congressional subpeona, and needed a safe place to strategize from, in the short term I wonder what &quot;deals&quot; Bush has made with the Ukrainian president, to secure this little administration safe-haven</description>

		<description>#51 Exit Stage Left Says: 

&lt;em&gt;Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) frequently exhorts young people to serve “a cause greater than their own self-interest,” 

It takes a major pair of balls to say something like that. What an a$$wipe.&lt;/em&gt;

Good Morning Exit :)

I completely agree, but you have to admit it wouldn&#039;t take much of an effort by &quot;young people&quot; to serve &quot;a greater cause&quot; than McCain did.  All it would take is for them to NOT vote for him in the next election would do it...

Have a good day!</description>

		<description>BnF,
According to a post above, we&#039;re exporting 1.6 million bls/day.

That&#039;s about 580 million barrels a year, or $8.5 Billion in net value at $147 / barrel.

I thought most of it was going to Japan, but that must be the Alaskan oil.

This is beyond crazy. We&#039;re allowing unregulated commodities to hold our Nation hostage.

&lt;em&gt;Big Oil is holding America hostage!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>From the article on oil exports:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Forbidding exports of U.S. petroleum reduces the incentive for domestic suppliers to produce, and could potentially lead to higher prices if U.S. production or refining declined,&quot; said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

We have record prices here in the U.S. because of &quot;tight supplies&quot; and the oil industry is shipping 10% of their product overseas. Now the White House is saying that if they don&#039;t ship overseas and instead sell that fuel here in the U.S., prices could go up?

You heard it right; a 10% increase in fuel supplies would lead to a price increase.

That&#039;s why we have to open up every last possible drilling place, regardless of what it will do to the environment.  But, according to Bush-logic, the more we produce, the higher the price!</description>
