Should Have Seen This Coming

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words can never hurt me.

Boy, is that obsolete!
TALLAHASSEE -- A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state's official documents."I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."
Senator Frederica Wilson. Serious money says she is a immigrant of some form or another, speaks fluent Mex, and married some guy with a "white" name.

Just a guess of course, but the odds are in my favor.

More Caution Required

Just finished reading

"THE PRESIDENT'S CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT MILITARY OPERATIONS AGAINST TERRORISTS AND NATIONS SUPPORTING THEM",

an opinion by JOHN C. YOO, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel.

If Yoo is correct in his conclusions, it means that the president can damn well do anything he wants, attack anybody he wants, whenever he wants. All he need do is claim that it is in the defence of the nation from attack--or potential attack--by terrorists.

Well now.

Bush obviously accepts Yoo's intrepretation as accurate and legal, and that just about guarantees that Bush will indeed launch a massive air assault (no invasion, just like he says) on Iran before he leaves office.

Several of our senior Generals and Admirals have just publicly accounced they will resign before obeying a Bush order to attack Iran, a move they consider to be rash, foolish and militarily unsupportable, stretched as we are.

It now appears to only way to prevent Bush from starting yet another war in the Middle East is to remove him and his shadowy master Cheney from office(quickly) before they get the chance to bury us even deeper in this eternal war between conflicting religions.

Of course, that will leave us with Nancy Pelosi as president, but just for a few months. That way we can watch and decide if we really want a woman such as Clinton as president.

The real lesson here is that we really need to get a lot smarter when choosing our next president. So far we've been pretty damned stupid with our selections.

Tell Me Another One

Read this one slowly:
"We're going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I'm still a 55-year-old virgin."
TV host(ess) and financial guru Suze Orman says she "has a relationship with life," and then reveals that her "life partner" is Kathy Travis.

Wow, what a nosedive trip. At first glance, one envisions her "relationship with life" as something akin to Bambi running through the forest, enthralled by the sight and smells of mother nature, crystal clear babbling brooks sparkling down through the valleys, illuminated by star-filled night skies. Purity and cleanliness everywhere.

Then comes the truth, and the mental projection becomes one of hot, sweaty bodies entertwined amongst a collection of plastic toys, vibrating devices and tubes of oozing KY jelly. But that's OK, no men anywhere, so we're all still virgins.

Seven years in a lesbian relationship equals virgin? That's on a par with Bill clinton's "I never had sex with that woman Monica Lewinsky."

Consider any woman who has great elevation in the TV heirarchy. She does not get there by being a 100% virgin, much less a lesbian one. Dirty old men are still in charge, and dirty old men in charge have a habit of demanding sex in one form or another for a potential starlet to prosper. So if a woman has never "been" with a man in her entire life, one might wonder how many times it took her--perhaps using the non-sex sex tactics made famous by Monica Lewinsky--to arrive at the top.

More Fear Mongering

When are you people going to get tired of crap like this?
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann claims to know of a plan, already worked out with a line drawn on the map, for the partition of Iraq in which Iran will control half of the country and set it up as a “a terrorist safe haven zone” and a staging area for attacks around the Middle East and on the United States.
Says Bachmann:“Iran is the trouble maker, trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And do you know why? It’s because they’ve already decided that they’re going to partition Iraq.
And half of Iraq, the western, northern portion of Iraq, is going to be called…. the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I’m sorry, I don’t have the official name, but it’s meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There’s already an agreement made.

Bachmann did not say how she knew about this plan, nor with whom Iran has made this deal, but that sure hasn't stopped her.

Let's see now... "a staging area for attacks around the middle East", that would be Israel, of course, and--naturally--attacks on the United States have been included in her rant for maximum effect.

Another Zionist lackey performing above and beyond the call of duty to spread more fear and hatred throughout America... without a shred of evidence or proof.

There Ought To Be A Law

Joe Liberman is threatening to switch horses if the Democrats continue to insist on ending the Iraq war. He threatens to become a Republician, giving control of the Senate back to the Bush crowd.

Well, if we wants to switch, fine by me. but it should be a law that if an elected official changes his party while in office, that official should be forced to resign and a new election in his home district conducted to find a replacement.

Whether it be from independent to republician, or repubulician to democrat, or whatever, should not make any difference.

Actually, Liberman should be tossed out on his butt if he tries such a sleezeball stunt to shift the balance of power, a balance that has been lawfully determined by the voters.

Liberman's disgusting threat smells of international politics at its very worst, but sadly, it's expected from a man like Liberman, a man who has served Israel so well and faithfully during his long tenure as a United States Senator.

Say what?

Well, pulling the American army out and away of this Middle East religious quagmire would ramp up the real and present danger to Israel by many notches. Liberman and his pals want to prevent such a move. They want the Americans over there from now on, since a superpower between them and the muslims is a great thing for them. Bad for us, but good for them. It is Israel that is under constant threat here, not the United States. Always has been.

Israel has always been the primary target, and it is American intervention that has continually saved them, whether it be political, such as our endless UN vetoes, or critical military aid in the form of tanks, fighter aircraft, helicopters, bombs and rockets, or satellite recon and up-to-date intel on Arab military positions during conflict, plus an unending flow of cash from America. Israel has never been able to defend itself, to stand alone, to survive, without massive support from England and the United States. That is as true today as it has ever been, even with their small handfull of unacknowleged nukes. If Israel uses nukes on the arabs--anywhere--the results would be a real and undeniable worldwide holocaust.

One day we Americans will need to decide if the Jewish dream of re-constructing ancient Israel is worth the cost the rest of us are paying.

It would be nice if we did that before the spiraling cost in lives and treasure is passed on to our children and grandchildren.

But, I don't expect it will happen, since Christians--from day one--have never had a clue as to how the Jews successfully highjacked their religion... and have been using them as tools ever since.

Psychics Bomb

This from the Daily Mail:
Psychics were recruited by the Ministry of Defence to locate Osama Bin Laden's secret lair, it was claimed yesterday.
Newly declassified documents revealed that the MoD conducted an experiment to see if volunteers could 'see' objects hidden inside an envelope.
It is claimed the ministry hoped positive results would allow it to use psychics to 'remotely view' Bin Laden's base and also to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
However, after running up a bill of £18,000 of taxpayers' money, defence chiefs concluded there was 'little value' in using psychic powers in the defence of the nation and the research was taken no further.
18,000 Pounds? Cheapskates.

Bush created a brand new multi-billion dollar Department, filled it up with the nation's finest collection of high-paid third-string losers... the kind that get their jollies off stomping around in black outfits and ski masks, the kind that practice legalized murder on Idaho loners and Texas cults, the kind that can actually spend billions more looking for Osama everywhere but where he actually is. (Bush and company know where he is--the third-stringers aren't that stupid, but catching him would be really bad for Bush's "Warn Tear".)

Obviously, the Brits need to learn a bit more, need to spend a lot more, and learn how to keep those embarrassing little failures secret.

They need to enroll in the Bush supported and funded Homeland Department School of Useless Excess.

More than anything, they need to learn the Bush philosophy that pulling out of a hopeless quagmire is a sign of weakness.

Lucky Us

I watched El Presidente Bush on TV last night, enjoying about as much of him as I can stand (about 30 seconds usually), and listened as he spewed out yet another Bushkin jaw-dropper.

Looking past the camera--jaw jutted out--into the supposed audience, he said:
"The war started on my watch. It's going to end on yours."
Wow. That should be carved onto his tombstone.

What he should have said--if he had the remotest urge to speak the total truth-- is that he started this war, but he's leaving it up to us to stop it.


This little TexMex cowboy, complete with tinplate badge from a Cheerios box, started this war with Iraq for his very own hidden reasons, reasons not remotely connected to his touted "warn tear".

Sort of like an arsonist who starts a huge inferno, he's going to leave it all up to the firemen to handle, while standing nearby, enjoying the spectacle, eventually riding off into the sunset, satisfied that God had personally stepped into his life--giving him guidance and wisdom--so he could make a difference.

No doubt he goes to sleep at night imagining the history books of tomorrow describing him as modern civilizations all-new Alexander the Great, or Western civilizations latest version of Winston Churchhill, maybe even having a new chapter added to the Christian Bible dedicated to his thoughts and sayings.

The man is a loon. It will take America years to dig out of the mess he has lead us into. By his own hand, he has created millions of new and dedicated enemies who will fight and die to bring about the destruction of America, enemies that our children and their children will have to face and fight.

At the very least, he should be promptly removed from office before he causes even more harm.

Tom Joyner, Philanthropist... Sort Of

I was just watching a piece by CNN praising some guy named Tom Joyner, whom the CNN talking heads refered to as "The hardest working man in radio". CNN apparently thinks he deserves this title because (pay attention now) he actually held down two jobs at once--not digging ditches, or cleaning sewers, or any real work--but two jobs as a radio DJ.

As a result, he has become the black darling of two radio audiences, made himself a ton of money, and even got himself a foundation named after himself, the "Tom Joyner Foundation".

Congratulations, Tom... good job, good job.

CNN(often cleverly disguised as a news show) continued with information that the Tom Joyner Foundation has donated 55 million dollars to "deserving" black schools, colleges and universities, and everybody at CNN was just ga-ga over this amazing man and his donations to help blacks get some education, or at least stay in school. The "stay in school" comment was Tom's own words.

Imagine that. Tom actually held down two jobs at once, flying between the two as necessary(not driving, walking or hitchhiking, but flying), and as a reward is now rich, famous(in select circles), and has his very own foundation.

Congratulations Tom, good job, good job.

As I understand it, all black schools, colleges and universities are given the same amount of support from federal and state sources as the learning institutions for the rest of us--the integrated ones--the white, black, brown, red and yellow schools, colleges and institutions. It's the law, you know.

So how much has the Tom Joyner Foundation donated to these "deserving" non-black institutions trying to educate everybody else?

Zero, you say? Zilch? Nada?

In a nation where blacks are given preference--by law--it seems a bit lop-sided to me.

Brits To Pull Out Of Iraq

Totally predictable. Below is how the decision was made:

PM's phone: Ring, ring.

PM: Tony blair here....

Queen: Harry's unit is heading out for Iraq in a few months. I want all our troops out of there, no bases, no posts, no soldiers--nothing there-- at least a week before his unit is scheduled to ship out. That way, he won't need to go anywhere, and he'll still look the brave and tough Royal.

PM: Yes, Ma'am.

PM's phone: >click< bzzzzzzzz......

Of Shaved Heads, Lollipops And Bad Decisions

LOS ANGELES, February 17, 2007 - Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley with her head shaved completely bald.
Eyewitness News shot video of the newly shorn Spears, with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck, sitting for a new tattoo, a pair of red and pink lips, on Friday night.

A short history:

Telly Savalas, the man who played "Kojak", looked quite normal bald as a baseball, and acted macho enough to pull off the lollipop thing, a Kojak gimmick.

Yul Brynner, who played an Egyptian Pharoah in "The Ten Commandments", looked a lot sillier with his bald head, struting around the place, hands on hips, looking angry, angry, angry.

Persis Khambatta, who played the role of Lt. Ilia, the bald Deltan alien in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", pulled off the bald bit gloriously becuse she was a beautiful woman to begin with.

Even Sinead O'Conner, one of the Vatican's favorite female singers, managed to look acceptable as a baldy.

Now come Britney Spears with her rendition of bald-headedness, and from what I've seen so far in the news, it is the result of yet another really bad choice by a young woman hell-bent on charging over the nearest cliff, dragging her career behind her.

Angels Caught On Tape

A retired Air Force officer who now spends his days authoring books on Christianity has posted an online collection of recordings he believes captures voices and music of God's angels in heaven.
"I have four specific recordings of angels singing in church settings," Jim Bramlett of Lake Mary, Fla., told WND. "It happened supernaturally. There's no other explanation. It's either from God or from the devil..."
It reminds me of the story about Lucille Ball(from "I love Lucy" fame), when she claimed to be hearing music and voices in her teeth.

Turns out she was hearing a nearby radio station, a temporary filling in her teeth acting a lot like a crystal radio receiver of old.

The first clue here as to the veracity of this tale is that we have a retired 76-year-old duffer who writes books on Christianity as a hobby and runs around from church to church with recording equipment, equipment that is easily influenced by the magnetic propagation of any nearby radio or TV station.

If he dyes his hair pure white and dresses up like Colonel Sanders, I can see large tents and miracle healings in his future.





Gonzales Under Investigation

Some really good news:
House Democrats, led by Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel, are targeting Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the Justice Department under him in a wide-ranging congressional investigation.
This is way past due. Gonzalez has been slapping us in the face for years and is a prime supporter of illegal "immigration", open borders, and all manner of unearned rights for this horde of invading criminals infecting our nation.

It remains to be seen if the democrats are serious, or are just blowing more "resolution" style smoke.

I mean, what's a good Washington democrat going to do without their dollar-an-hour baby sitter/maid/cook/gardener and sex plaything?

A New Kind Of Troubled Times

CAT scan yesterday, Ultrasound tomorrow. Not-so-gentle reminders of mortality.

Things like that can bring sunset into sharper view.

Explaining Creation

Waddle over to WND and read about how some high school putz has just explained how God created everything.

First off, there will most likely never be a human intellect that will ever be able to understand the mechanism behind the creation of the universe, much less explain it, so the arrogance of this kid is beyond amazing, telling us all that he understands how God did it, and has used science to prove it.

But damned if he isn't going to be held high on the shoulders of devout thumpers everywhere, proclaiming that science has proven that God created it all.

This kid has a big tent and miracle healings in his future.

Mexican Style Corruption

This border shooting case just gets better and better.

As you most likely know, a shooting incident that Border Patrol officers Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean were involved in ended up with the agents sent to prison for over a decade. According to their superiors, failing to report a shooting in which there was no apparant deaths or victim at the time should have resulted in a five-day suspension without pay, not 12 years in prison.

The drug smuggler, Osbalso Aldrete-Davila, after being shot, was brought to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, to have a bullet removed from his right thigh. He was brought there by DHS Special Agent Christopher Sanchez. Now how can that be? How did DHS Special Agent Sanchez know of a shooting in a remote location that had not been reported... by anybody?

There can be no doubt that there was contact and communication between the drug smuggler and the DHS agent. It would seem that this DHS special Agent was--and is--in cahoots with this drug smuggling illegal and his organization. No way could Sanchez have been one of those "deep plant" spies in the smuggling operation, he was transparant from day one, he would have blown his own cover.

DHS special Agent Sanchez then gave the drug smuggler a multipule entry border pass, a pass signed by Sanchez and carried his badge number. This drug smuggler was subsequentally granted immunity to testify against the border guards.

Now we learn that the DHS people have openly lied to Congress about the supposed evidence used to convict the border guards.

Some are trying to say that DHS Agent Sanchez was the drug smugglers "handler". Give me a break.

I've sniffed pig pens and stock yards that smell a whole lot better than this thing.

The prosecutor and others involved in this case must have some sort of supplemental income from these drug smugglers, or have very specific orders from higher up in cases like this, or be a part of the drug smuggling operation itself, which means that Mexican-style corruption has indeed moved north of the border... big time.

What other explanation can there be?

One other thing, this drug smuggling moron, Osbalso Aldrete-Davila, was just recently caught trying to again smuggle almost a thousand pounds of Marijauna across the border, using his handy-dandy mulitpule entry pass, provided by DHS Special Agent Sanchez.

Does it seem odd to you that the main players in this thing are all Mexicans?

Non-Stop

House Speaker Pelosi has requested a much larger plane then the previous House speaker had. The old speaker had a small commuter type jet that actually had to land once for refueling on trips cross country.

Not good enough for Pelosi, no fuel stops for her incredibly important self. She wanted the equivalent of a Boeing 757 to fly back to Califiornia in.

But, as things turn out:
A congressional source who read a letter to Pelosi signed by Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert Wilkie said it essentially limits her to the commuter plane used by former Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, which requires refueling to travel from Washington to Mrs. Pelosi's San Francisco district. A second source, in the Bush administration, confirmed the contents of the letter.
What a hell of a deal. The first woman House Speaker, and she can't score herself a type of aircraft usually used for backup of Air force One. I am going to cry all day.

Addendum:

Her esteemed highness says it's for "security reasons" that she wants a non-stop aircraft with a crew of eleven, costing $10,000 an hour... just for fuel. And forget the fact that those planes will produce several tons of CO2 gasses per flight., something Pelosi promised she would do everything in her power to fight... the creation of those gasses.

Turns out there are at least eight Air force bases that the Speaker's plane could land and refuel at. They have such high security that her landing there could present a security problem for the bases, since her security rating is far from perfect.

How's Your Memory?

Remember this?
"It is a cold fact: the Global Cooling presents humankind with the most important social, political, and adaptive challenge we have had to deal with for ten thousand years. Your stake in the decisions we make concerning it is of ultimate importance; the survival of ourselves, our children, our species..."

Lowell Ponte in 1976.
Now it's global warming.

Says Timothy Ball, who has a Ph.D. in climatology:
Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist... Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. That is why I insist on saying that there is no evidence that we are, or could ever cause global climate change. And, recently, Yuri A. Izrael, Vice President of the United Nations sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed this statement. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification.

Let me stress I am not denying the phenomenon has occurred. The world has warmed since 1680, the nadir of a cool period called the Little Ice Age (LIA) that has generally continued to the present. These climate changes are well within natural variability and explained quite easily by changes in the sun. But there is nothing unusual going on.
The only unusual thing going on is the Al Gores of the world trying to scare us into believing this nonsense.

Note:
Timothy Ball obtained doctorate in climatology from the University of London, Queen Mary College, England.

"Sapping Our Soul"

Can you believe this?
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – President Bush told a closed-door gathering of House Democrats Saturday that the war in Iraq was “sapping our soul in some ways,” according to congressional aides who heard him.
Well, he's the sap who dragged us into Iraq, he's the malleable puppet who has consistantly stared us in the eye and lied to us about why he did so.

And now he's suddenly concerned about our souls?

Maybe this cocky little Junior Texas Ranger is beginning to realize that all is not well in the make-believe world of the Crawfod Ranch Gang, where the good guys all wear Levis, cowboy boots and ten-gallon hats, have Senoritas for practice girlfriends, and the bad guys all wear turbans.

Maybe another portion of his dream world tells him that feeling bad about it all will excuse everything.

No, no, no. He has a huge price to pay for his malfeasence in office, and there's a rapidly growing number of Americans who are intent on making sures he pays up.

Count me in.

It's Really Kind Of Sad

I've been watching the puppet show in Washington over this troop "surge" of Bush's, and it's turning away from a comedy of errors to a real tragedy.

Bush--chin jutted out like a defiant ten-year-old--tells us all he's going to do whatever he wants in Iraq and now Iran... while gloating over the fact that the Democrats have been completely outmaneuvered and rendered fangless in this war of words over cutting off funds.

Several really saddening things are happening all at once.

President George Texas Ranger Walker Bush, the most destructive president to America's interests in history, defiantly continues down his road of folly into the history books as the worst American leader... ever.

The few remaining Republicians who realize the disaster that Iraq has become--but still childishly want to support "their" president--voice pitiful platitudes about the potential success of Bush's latest mistake, puttering around vocally like old people in a rest home, aimless and directionless, empty words spilling out over the clatter of false teeth.

The Democrats, livid over being outmaneuvered by the idea that cutting off funds for the "surge" has been skillfully tranformed into a lack of support for the troops, are sputtering around with "resolutions" that mean nothing and will accomplish nothing. Now they threaten to rescind the President's authority to project military force without the explicit permission and active oversight of Congress, which just might a good thing, considering what this war-mongering, blood-thristy Texas putz has done with that authority.

So here we all sit, watching our troops get slaughtered in an Iraq coming apart at the seams, our president drooling at the mouth for more blood and guts, while both the Democrats and the Republicians toss spit wads at each other on national TV all day long.

And meanwhile, the man who caused 911, sits safe and sound over somewhere on the Pakistan/Afganistan border, amused by the whole dog and pony show... completely forgotten by Bush, Cheney, Rice and the rest of the kindergarden playground gang.

Never--for even a second--believe that this government does not know where Osama is.

Those American troops in Afganistan.... remember them? They're not being supported by anybody in Washington, and are losing the war over there.

It really is kind of sad.

Who... Us?

China has responded to the UN global warming report by downplaying the whole thing. They point out that some reports show the United States as the number one greenhouse gas-creating country in the world(more on this later), while they are way back in second place.

How about this:
China's per-capita emissions remain only a fraction of those in developed countries. the Chinese government has said.
Holy truth there , Batman, that settles it!

Per-capita emissions. What a dodge. With a half-billion chinese still plodding around in rice paddies and living in hovels with no electricity, no TV, no telephone, and using ox carts for transportation, it makes sense--but in a very deceptive way--and provices great fodder for the tree-huggers of the world to babble on about.

China, a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, is not committed--0r required--to cut greenhouse gases due to its status as a "developing" country. (Remember those half-billion rice paddy farmers? They're busy "developing")

But... jackasses like France's version of Bush wants the United States to join up with the Kyoto gang of miscreants, demanding that we overfed and lazy Americans reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least twenty percent.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, that would destroy our economy and bring our nation to it's knees.

Anyone with sufficent curiosity can easily research the net for factual data on global warming with the end result of not worrying so much about it. It seems that the Earth itself has built-in safetys that prevent a global warming "runaway". A degree or two of true global warming triggers these safety mechanisms and reverses the cycle.

According to the geological records, it has happened countless times in Earth's (not man's) history.

S0... if we allow the "sky is falling" panic-stricken alarmists to control our economy and our nation, America will be the ultimate loser, with China (the not required to control greenhouse gasses nation) as the winner.

What a deal. Like I said before, we really need to tell the United Nations to take their global warming report and stuff it where the sun never shines.

Europeans Want To Tax Americans

Can you believe this?
PARIS, Jan. 31 — President Jacques Chirac has demanded that the United States sign both the Kyoto climate protocol and a future agreement that will take effect when the Kyoto accord runs out in 2012... But he warned that if the United States did not sign the agreements, a carbon tax across Europe on imports from nations that have not signed the Kyoto treaty could be imposed to try to force compliance. “A carbon tax is inevitable,” Mr. Chirac said... Trade lawyers have been divided over the legality of a carbon tax, with some saying it would run counter to international trade rules. But Mr. Chirac said other European countries would back it. “I believe we will have all of the European Union,” he said.
OK.

In that case, we just tell everybody in the European Union to stuff it where the sun never shines, stop sending any money and foreign aid to all the European Union, remove all our troops and support people from all of the European Union and put a huge "kiss my ass" tax on all European Union imports.

If they don't like it, they can literally go to Hell.

One other thing... if the traitorous stooges in the federal government go along with this, we need to toss them all out--by force--if necessary.

It's the damned Chinese causing all the pollution nowadays... so quit trying to punish America, you damn European losers. Without us, you'd still have the Nazis stomping around.

$39,500,000,000.00

Thirty nine billion , five hundred million dollars. That's Exxon's profit last year. And that's just one of the oil companies.

It has to be part of the greatest rip-off and robbery in the history of humanity.

But I get how it operates now.

If you steal 39 dollars, or 39 million dollars, or 39 billion dollars from one source, you go to jail forever.

But if you steal 39 billion dollars from 300 million people, you get a 100 million dollar Christmas bonus.

And if you--Mr. big-shot stock market player--have a hundred shares of Exxon, you just made about six hundred and fifty bucks.

Imagine what the real stock market players--with millions of stocks--are making. You get pocket change--sucker--while they get rich beyond avarice.

And you--not them-- are the one hurt by these outrageous fuel prices.

Have a nice day.

Sucker.
