You've seen them. The shallow fools who wasted a bunch of money on their BIG GAS GUZZLERs, and are now holding up traffic by driving below the speed limits because they think it saves them money. In a 30 mile trip you 'might' save 30 cents of gas.
The problem with this is that you waste time and hold up everybody behind you. You end up costing local commerce LOTS MORE in lost time.
Bottom line:
The same lousy quality decision making that you used to BUY your big bulky SUV is the same type of lousy decision making that has you driving slow, looking stupid, and costing everybody money AND TIME!
STOP IT!

Greedy, Do NOT reply in this BLOG as I WILL DELETE ALL YOUR COMMENTS!!!!
1st His OIL COMPANY BLOG...
"It looks
like the oil tycoons are winning the war on high gas PRICES by billions
of dollars a day the people have given up any hope. It is my opinion
that all government officials federal , state and local and all the state attorney generals are in bed with the oil companies
other wise how can any gas station jack up the price of gas ALREADY in
the ground and all the gas in the tanks at all filling station ready to
be delivered. It also appears the wuss bush will
not do a thing and " OBOMBA " IS A JOKE does not want a tax break on
gas to help the people out in his words it is a GIMMICK. The federal
gas tax is now going to cost us all 10 cents more and that jerk in Va.
known as Hitler wants to get yet another 6 cents tax PER GALLON in VA.
I guess America is the land of opportunity to screw people over in more
ways then one."
As you can see, the OP does not understand the nature of Commodities. his arguements are moot because of the mis-understandings, and mis conceptions.
Where does he come up with such stupid things as
"how can any gas station jack up the price of gas ALREADY in
the ground and all the gas in the tanks at all filling station ready to
be delivered."
I guess he somehow 'knows' how much gas IS IN THE GROUND at the stations? LOL!

Look at the Human Resources folks. They are inept, and unqualified to do the jobs. They approve for hire, more inept and unqualified folks for the city. When you KEEP DOING BUSINESS THIS WAY FOR DECADES, how can you POSSIBLY have ANY qualified people in ANY organization. These lazy, inept, STUPID, immoral types get their friends hired too. Cronies working as little groups are constantly caught stealing from the DC Government, and even the big wigs get caught like the sleazebag School teachers Union boss.
Unless they FIX the HR and REQUIRE a ZERO TOLERANCE against crooks, liars, and compromised types who are perfect targets for the thugs in Government.
The DC Cops are even worse. Why don't they give tickets to COPS WHO ARE PARKING ILLEGALLY ALL AROUND THE LOCAL POLICE STATIONS??? They are NOT on an emergency, so are to be treated as regular citizens.
In DC it's ALL ABOUT THE TITLE, not the performance, or lack of performance in the job.
This should explain why nothing gets better in DC, and why they can't fix the schools or the crime.

When McCain decided to go to Iraq, nobody seemed to care. Now that the junior senator decided to go (follow the leader?) All 3 nitwork anchors are going along as his backup group.
The obvious bias towards 0bama also shows you that the news will be biased FOR 0bama, and against McCain.
The obvious conclusions are that the media will LIE to make 0bama look better than fact, and they will smear McCain. The liberals who don't seem to care about 0bamas lack of qualifications will be fooled by the press to think 0bama is doing better than fact. This is the same thing that caught Kerry in '04. He though he was going to win because of the cheerleaders in the press who had been lying for him.

An important angle in the IndyMac failure that may get lost in ominous
headlines tonight and tomorrow: federal regulators pointedly cited U.S.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., in explaining the bank's failure. In
simple language, federal regulators blamed Schumer for a run on the
bank.
Here's from the press release issued by IndyMac's regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision:
"The OTS has determined that the current institution, IndyMac Bank, is
unlikely to be able to meet continued depositors’ demands in the normal
course of business and is therefore in an unsafe and unsound condition.
The immediate cause of the closing was a deposit run that began
and continued after the public release of a June 26 letter to the OTS
and the FDIC from Senator Charles Schumer of New York. The
letter expressed concerns about IndyMac’s viability. In the following
11 business days, depositors withdrew more than $1.3 billion from their
accounts.
"This institution failed today due to a liquidity crisis," OTS
Director John Reich said. "Although this institution was already in
distress, I am troubled by any interference in the regulatory process."
Is THIS the kind of political types (Liberal Ignorant Democrats) you want leading YOUR country out of financial problems?
Again and again, Democrats prove that they aren't good at anything!

HA-HA! That blathering extremist leader of Iran bragged of the new missiles they fired. THEN the Iranian newspaper published an OBVIOUS altered photo.
Now the Iranian President and the press ALL LOOK LIKE LIARS!
I guess the next thing we get to wait for is the sound of a few NUKE facilities in Iran getting bombed by Israelis!
After the Israelis bomb the nuke plants and comm centers perhaps they can take out the worthless gasbag President-AT HIS PALACE!!!
So much for a quiet summer

Democrat, and big time 0bama mouthpiece Dim Kaine wants to RAISE THE GAS TAX IN VA!!!
For you in Fairfax county, I hope THE EXTRA YOU'LL PAY IN GAS TAXES, drive you into bankruptcy! You just HAD to vote Democrat, even though you've been skroooed by them before. I guess expecting voters to THINK is unwarranted? Tax n Spend! Yep Dimmy Kaine wants to RAISE YOUR GAS TAX BY 33 percent! You think your Governor is "IN TOUCH" ????
Second Laff of the day.....Again Democrats!
Jim Webb says NO to being 0bamas' (moving target) Vice Presidential candidate. I guess Jim isn't up to the task of being Pres after something tragic, OR doesn't want to be closely attached to 0bamas campaign?
What does HE know????

Greedy, how are your ravings any different than those of a street bum/wino/junkie??
Bums, losers, and the like can be heard blathering away, talking to themselves and ranting about all the ills of the world.
Greedy posts the same type of nonsense, without anyone being able to provide their OWN input.
Perhaps all the regular bloggers should delete YOUR POSTS from now on.

HOW long has the Mississippi river been overflowing it's banks? Over a Century!!! Who do people still whine when they build a house on THE FLOOD PLAIN and it gets washed away with their farm????
HOW LONG has NEW ORLEANS been UNDER SEA LEVEL??? Who knows what BELOW SEA LEVEL MEANS? How come the idiots in New Orleans are rebuilding the areas BELOW SEA LEVEL again?? and again, and again, and again.
Just because YOU think things are not going very well, YOU WANT A CHANGE. OK We'll make sure Illegals become citizens, and give them YOUR JOBS! We'l RAISE your taxes. That'll be a change from LOWERING YOUR TAXES the way the Repubs would do. Like your changes so far? The cry of "CHANGE" was there during the Jimmy Carter Campaign. He was a poor farmer and governor of Georgia. GA didn't change.
NOW we have another fool shouting "CHANGE" Haven't people learned? An under-achieving state senator who was content in the low level corruption in Illinois state level politics decides to run for the senate. NW, 1/3 of his way through HIS FIRST TERM he has dilluded himself into thinking he HAS QUALIFICATIONS! Well, it proves he can lie to himself as easily as he lies to others.....
You will never learn.

So, despite ALL THE STUDIES, REPORTS, AND FINDINGS from the ATF, NRA, and all the state sponsored studies Showing that Gun BAN's don't help crime statistics. Gun Bans are only followed by law abiding people, the Bad guys don't obey the laws, so they would most likely have banned weapons too.
What is puzzling, is that the slow witted political hacks are not too well educated (ACTUALLY, THEY ARE VASTLY STUPID) in the Mayors office, and even Ellenor Holmes Norton offices. I guess liberal policies do not require scientific or statistical evidence to back up their reasons for wanting a gun ban.
You can't teach old stupid clueless dogs ANY NEW TRICKS.
Who would gain from a new gun ban?

It seems judges are NOT doing the work of judges anymore. They love to legislate from the bench, creating new laws, and preventing the general populace from having its will served. The Militia was formed to make sure you could remove the tyrants from office. These surpreme court "Justices" are JUST the people who need removal.
They want to give everyone rights of a full citizen, especially the terrorists we grabbed and hold in Gitmo. I saw we give them all the real property of the Justices. Why stop at just all the rights?
I can only hope that they suffer for their stupid judgements.

Isn't it funny how AFTER the Democrats promised all those things (even though they were lies) and gained a majority in BOTH HOUSES.
BIG CHANGES AHEAD, RIGHT?????
Yep. NOW the approval rating of teh House & Senate is 18 percent.
THATS 10 POINTS LOWER THAN Bush.
So, even MORE people hate the job congress is doing. Thats because the Democrats always do a worse job.

Congress still chasing speculators.
Barack Obama still chasing a windfall profits tax.
John McCain still chasing windmills...In this case, a $300 million offer for whoever comes up with the best car battery.
And every politician of every stripe still chasing big rescues...Just today, a $300 billion dollar budget buster for housing.
All pushing points that make no point.
On a day oil makes more records.
And the folks who depend on it hit more lows.
In the case of UPS, five-year lows, just today.
Still just more of the same today.
No...to more drilling here, which would help.
No...to cutting oil subsidies, which don't help.
And no...to being more brutally frank with the Saudis, which could only help.
So right now, all I have to say "is" help.
On a day we're told that home prices fell another 15% from last year.
And gasoline prices are, in some places, double what they were last year.
No wonder Republicans are extra fidgety "this" year.
The electoral math looks daunting.
But surprisingly, not that daunting.
Surprisingly competitive.
Surprisingly tight.
Surprisingly, well, surprising.

Nanci NITWIT PELOSI, doesn't want you to read this! WHY?
It's critical of her political stands. It shows everybody what a Censorship type of dictator she wants to be. She stupidly thinks she and her censorship buddies can apply this to JUST the right wingers. Unfortunately for the lefties who agree with Pelosi, this will make it possible to add right wing pundits to CNN, Pacifica, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and NPR Too! Imagine Pelosi's squirming as she heard RUSH LIMBAUGH on NPR, explaining why NPR should NOT get any gov't funding. How about Michael Savage on Pacifica, screaming about the muslim terrorists, their US conections, and The ACLU lawyers and the CAIR lawyers and how they are trying to ruin us from within. how about Mark Lavin on CBS, explaining to those idiots how the Surpreme court works, and why the justices are NOT following their oath of office. Why are they legislating from the bench when they should ONLY BE INTERPRETING the laws.

The nutcase alarmist from teh NASA institute in NY is off his meds again. This time the wack job is sounding like cindy sheehan, demanding that the CEO's of many big companies be sued for Global Warming.
This is the same wack job who claimed his complex, yet vastly incorrect computer models show that we have 5-10 years left. LOL The computer models were loaded with all the relevant historical weather data (at least what Hanson thought was so important) but were unable to predict the known weather just a few days past the historical datas cut-off. So his models DON'T WORK - but he's still telling us of those important findings??? Does anybody else find this quack to be a LIAR???
