Gas demand down 9.5% last week

Prices up 24.5% from a year ago.

Write your House Republican on this blip in supply and demand. Ask why Bill Kristol’s prediction of naming Sarah Palin didn’t cause gas prices to fall dramatically. Ask them why the cessation of the offshore drilling ban, didn’t do likewise?

Bush appointed a Cheney assistant to the Department of Energy. Chase Hutto, III served as big oil’s point man inside the V.P.’s office.

He has four months to anchor offshore drilling. Bush can corporafornicate on multiple fronts simultaneously. One might expect that after seven years in the CorporaWhorehouse on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Yesterday, Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld had a rough day under intense questioning from House members. However, his day was even tougher on Sunday when he was punched in the face at the gym by a man angry at the Lehman failure.

How much would you bet that this will be the harshest punishment that he ever faces.

Great post’s all, in answer to your question Tarzan, media coverage…All whalin palin’s little stunt’s have been covered at the dinner new’s hour for the worker bee’s to view..Add lie’s and the huge fear card along with radical black preacher’s and there you have the making of worried white men and women going back 40 year’s in time in their warped thinking..

Never mind the worse case cinario of the radical reich winger’s. their horrible witch hunting trick’s and palin’s attachment to them….There is a large faction of evil reich winger’s in our country which include’s skin head’s KKK’s, radical bible thumper’s and just plane nut job’s…We even see a tiny few posting here as troll’s..

The best we can hope for is Obama to win and be protected…..It is worrisome to people like me that have lived through JFK, Bobby, King and many other’s….

I must add in closing, this campaign has lasted far to long and I am personelly very weary…Along with all the other enormious problem’s we face we must change this campaign for billion’s of dollar’s, lasting from one election to the next and media coverage for the one with the most money..Equal free air time would be much better along with a 6 month run up to the election…I will get into the voter caging and machine fraud on another day….Blessing’s all and happy posting.

I was amazed by a poll done by NBC and WSJ saying that 41% of the Americans polled said that Sarah is qualified to be a president.
What’s surprising is that Sarah Palin was practically unknown to most Americans less than 2 months ago.
She only did few television interviews where she showed how uninformed, demonstrating lack of knowledge on many issues.
She only had one debate,where she was coached for few days before the debate.
She was reading notes during most of debate’s time without being questioned; she repeated the word Maverick several times during the debate as the answer to America’s current problems.
Now she is on the road attacking Obama and linking him to terrorism. An old story that didn’t have legs from start.

How can 41% of people think she is qualified to be a president?
Amazing,if not scary.!

The Fed announced their latest corporafornication effort, buying massive amounts of commercial paper, of which $1.3 trillion qualifies. Add the rest:

$900 billion in direct capital injections
$700 billion in toxic asset repurchase
$300 billion in Bear, Fannie, Freddie, AIG

and you get a $3 trillion intervention.

And finally: Yesterday, Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld had a rough day under intense questioning from House members. However, his day was even tougher on Sunday when he was punched in the face at the gym by a man angry at the Lehman failure.

I think Jim Cramer called this one the worst banker in America. Watching just a snippet of his congressional testimony I could tell he was a snide, arrogant man and wasted the congress’ time with corporate boilerplate-speak.

The ugly crowds, spurred on by Palin’s remarks; crowds expressing hatred and violence are tacitly approved by McCain; the candidates are not of presidential material, they are more like rabble-rousers stirring their audiences to actions.
If all of this were not so serious, it wuld be ridiculous.

Good morning And the beat goes on. I’ve never come across a candidate so deeply in remedial mode. Rather than sit down and address her shortcomings, she preaches to a carefully organized choir and finds smarter people to blame. All she has to do is pick up a book and read. Anybody can be elite with knowledge if they try. Nobody has to know everything.

Her supporters, of course, are bat shit crazy. Haven’t evolved a day and refuse to. Ignorance just feels better to them. I’m so glad they’ve found their magnet.

Hello Iran:

I guess we can be sure McCain wasn’t flying this plane because it landed safely.
