Hey BigR...what's that pic in you new sig from?
Looks like the grease ball that does the very good
"hazard/accident" insurance ad, where one calamity
after another occurs...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Pssss...just to make Joe Blow even more upset over gas prices, the fuel you're putting in your ride...was purchased months ago at old oil prices.....you pay out the @ss for futures traders on Wallstreet and in other economies. The constant lowering of interest rates by the Fed, weakens the dollar, which encourages investors to 'energy commodities'. Look at it this way, those people from the 70's can stop bitching about how 'expensive' it was back then. And at some point, per basic Econ101, the cost will exceed the value and consumers will...good Lord...stop buying and look/demand alternatives. That should be a fun time.

Apparently Starbucks, and the like, are already starting to feel the penny pinch as consumers realize gas this week will cost them 34 lattes. Oh and on the Prez race tip, this royally plays into Republican hands as it is hard to encourage 'socialized' programs when your country is drowning. As well as making your consumer index look 'OK' since energy/food aren't factors...too volatile..oh how nice.

Now if we could only itemize that 12B spent monthly in Iraq. Oh, thanks Senators for just now asking (5 years in) shouldn't Iraqi oil money pay for the majority of this effort?
