If you think about it OIL is the culprit. EVERYTHING you touch is delivered by truck. Trucks burn Diesel. Diesel is priced much higher than Gasoline. Diesel takes less to refine than Gasoline. When you produce Diesel you have a byproduct run off it is called Gasoline. If you think this is not Politically motivative you are crazy.

The WAR has little to do with our oil situation. Most of the fuel used in Iraq is JP8 and is used in Multi fuel vehicles. It is made to Military Specs and most of it is shipped in from Germany.

ACK!!! Don't youze guys see what's happening??? It is soooo slick how they control the market...the answer is MILK! they slowly creep the price of milk up by a few cents per gallon, directly affecting each market separately. Butter, being a by-product of milk goes up, cheese, pizza, subs, and then alcohol goes up 'cause you can't have a pizza without beer! The big oil companies just jumped on the band-wagon when it was thought to be safe, but the milk-marketers obscured the truth with a barrage of false advertising pertaining to oil pricing. The war is not about oil, it is about milk!!! C'mon, man...sacred cows? How much is a gallon of milk from one of those?

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you would have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago,
you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago,
drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you would have $214.00!

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
It is called the 401-Keg.
 

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!
 
Makes you proud to be an American!

Something was said last night at the debate re: foreign oil that I found interesting.  Both candidates stated that in 10 years or less we could be in a position to no longer buy ANY oil from the ME or Chavez.  That would be a real surprise to me, if it did happen - either candidate as prez.  But it sounded good. 

The ME could sell oil to Europe & Chavez can sell oil to China so the markets for their oil will remain no matter what. 

We also need to increase domestic production of beer.  The more beer we make, the cheaper it will get.  The cheaper it gets, the more we can drink.  The more we drink, the more we forget about our money down a rat hole investments that are doing less than well in our 401k that is way worse than buying magic beans with our money stock market.

Cindy McCain is a blond beer heiress worth millions of $.  More ads with rich good looking blondes drinking beer would be better than the current crop of drivel politically. 

McCain should get a big boat (Named "Big Beer Vote Boat), fill it with bikini clad blondes drinking beer, and smile & wave & yell "vote for me" as he captained it all over Lake Havasu.  I would rather see that than the crappola they have on nw.

Yup, he ain't got it.. The smirking of both during the so called "debate" made me watch "Bewitched" reruns while drinking frozen strawberry things.  The Jestor Decor put the idea into my little mad cow infested brain...Shame on you Cheri.

For all the doom and gloom on the news, Orlando is packed!  Having a hard time finding parking at the places we are going to at night.  I am not seeing it (the down turn) here, other then the junk offerings of the geek vendors on the show floor SUCK!

Did score a Digital Picture Frame, but the best they are offering is pens and "green shopping bags"...weak!!  How and I supposed to justify a conference in Orlando without good stuff to bring home?

Down Town Disney Harley Davidson offers 10% Military Discount...got the obligatory shirt and shot glass - and the wife has been doing her part (and then some) to keep the incomes of my fellow Floridians propped up.

Bless you for traveling & spending money in your home state & paying sales taxes having fun to keep me from having to pay state income tax.  Hopefully a few hundred thousand more will show up in Daytona this weekend to pay lots of sales & tourist taxes have even more fun.

Give the pens to the kids & the wife gets the shopping bag - automatic souvenirs.  Leaves the picture frame for you, of course.
