McCain's Finance Law Dealt Blow by Court

Campaign finance law takes new hit - No funding break for candidates with rich opponents, justices rule.

Looks like McCain's hopes for rich guys electability is squashed. Too bad people can use money they earn.

Oil Production Up, Oil Production Down

Someone somewhere thinks that gas will return to $1.25, they think that by opening oil drilling off the coast of the US we can stop our reliance on foreign oil, they also think the Toyota Prius is the answer to the environmental crisis (of course to believe that, you have to believe there IS an environmental crisis). I envy this person.

Why, you ask? Because they live in peace, they really think that tomorrow, it will cost only $18.00 to fill up their VW micro-bus, or Burger King will get a special order right on the first try. No, really, they think that; and for that reason, they have fewer gray hairs than I do.

The Saudis are increasing oil production while Chevron has just had some uber-critical pipe blown out of the sky (well, the field, no doubt). It's $4.00 a gallon folks, get used to it.

Oh, by the way, the solution to gas prices (note I did not say "fuel" prices) is not only in oil production, but also in it's refinement. There hasn't been an oil refinery built in 20-something years.

What’s Obscene? Google Could Have an Answer

The New York Times reports that Florida is planning to base what is "obscene" on a community "measurement" -- which, of course, could include searches on Google.

The fact of the matter is that our prude, innocent society searches for pornography more than any other thing -- so all those offended people out there, are only offended when someone's looking.

Keeping violence, profanity, and nudity from children is fine, they are too young to understand exactly what's going on, but to keep it from everyone just because someone would like to look innocent is ridiculous.

Delta Sigma Bottle

Apparently, a group of 17 high school students made a pact to get pregnant and raise the children together. We are teenagers, we know everything.
