6 o'clock Bad News Is on Everyday......

..... people out hurting, some getting paid.  The weather report is the best news today...hey hey... what's the use in complaining when nothing gets done....hey hey hey.....what's the use in (oops - just had me a Cecilio & Kapono moment - some lyrics might be made up or omitted)

*  The refinery explosion up by Dallas happened first thing this morning.  Tetco's price on gas when I drove in to work today $2.99 (16 cents more than the other stations).  What price gouging losers.

*  Bush Senior officially backed McCain this morning.  Please - like we care about the endorsement of someone in the same gene pool as Bush Jr.

*  Big Meat recall from a plant that happened to get caught sending out bad stuff.  "Raymond said cattle that had lost the ability to walk since passing pre-processing inspections were slaughtered without an inspector having examined them for chronic illness -- a practice he said violated federal regulations and had been going on for at least two years. "   Anyone who is shocked by this or thinks this type of stuff isn't commonplace in most processing plants - please go to Amazon.com and buy Mad Cowboy (you can get a vendor copy for as little at $2.50).
Buy Certified Organic Beef people

*  Why can't we have a Hilak Clobama as a candidate?  I like Hillary's plan, but I won't vote for her because I feel she will be like sandpaper in the bathingsuit bottoms of  government. If we could morph the two of them together it would be perfect.

* and finally..... I saw a segment on Dubya in Africa demanding congress approve funds for his Aids project.  Good charity, but so fake is his gesture - it's so obvious he's trying to get remembered for SOMETHING besides spearheading the mess our country is currently in.

Now that I have all that off my chest ..... :-)

We bought gas yesterday for $2.95, that's considered good up here. Today it was up to $3.15, because, of course, all the gas in the western world goes through that refinery.

Bush sr. is an old line Republican and getting behind the choosen candidiate; something the new Republicans can't stomach - GOOD!

Because they are both break through candidates it would be a setback for either one to take the #2 position.

dubya-pathetic, but for whatever reason, if he can accomplish something good, i'll take it.

I don't have so much a problem with gas prices rising due to circumstances, but an outlet jacking it up 15-20 cents a gallon withing hours of an environmental fluctuation is not right. Most will increase it with the next delivery (at least that's what I've been told by the mgr. at the local station I fill up at) - that's usually within days, but still.
