An Apache Junction, Arizona, trucking firm is fighting to stay in
business in the face of $4-a-gallon diesel by driving across the border
to Mexico to buy fuel where it sells for $2 a gallon.
CNN tells the story
of how Romano and Son built a 500-gallon tank to haul diesel fuel back
from south of the border. They made one successful trip, but were told
on their second try by border officials that they can only bring 119
gallons across at a time.
Ironically, notes Insider, much of the diesel exported from the western United States goes to Mexico. Here are export figures from
the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration.
As diesel was threatening to break through the $4 level in January --
the most recent month for which data is available -- U.S. refineries
shipped 982,000 barrels or 41.2 million gallons of diesel to Mexico.
The 2008 shipments far exceed January shipments in any other year
except 2000 and 2001.
Sharon Romano tells CNN she is angry with her government and with President Bush.
Does anybody wonder why?

This week the Pope blew into town. Our fine leader welcomed him at the airport with open arms. Now, if you apply FOX news logic behind this it equates to Bush supporting child molestation. Moreover, everyone within the Catholic church is o.k. with the raping of children. If Obama is an evil American hating racist as FOX news would have us believe because of his preacher, well then the same goes for all religions. We'll call it the goose and gander theorem. So many times it was said that he should not have been a part of that church if that was his preacher. Well, those of the Catholic faith, what do you have to say for yourselves?

You are the reason people hate rent-a-pigs. You are the scum of the earth. You have severe emotional problems, and I am surprised you are given a firearm. You do not have the right to ask for an I.D. you can ask someone to identify themselves; however, you can not demand to see an i.d. I'm unsure as to the veracity of your claim to issue speeding tickets. How does one such as yourself acquire an accurate rate of speed from your suspect vehicle. Or is this some H.O.A. type of fee. I have posted this blog as a result of your weak minded inability to deal with someone who has a negative response to you idiocy. Once again I ask which company do you work for? Please enlighten us. Although I have a complete lack of respect for almost any authority figure, I am a little to intelligent to ever strike a security guard; however, I think if our paths ever crossed I would leave lying in a maroon pool. Be wary of who you try to accost (this is not a personal threat) you may wind up bitting off more than you can chew.

From The Daily Mail: Motorists will be targeted by a new
generation of road cameras which work out
how many people are in a car by measuring
the amount of bodily fluid it contains.
The latest snooping device on the nation's
roads aims to penalise lone drivers who
abuse car-sharing lanes, and is part of a
Government effort to combat congestion at
busy times.
The cameras work by sending an infrared
beam through the windscreen of vehicles
which detects the unique make-up of blood
and water content in human skin.
The system's inventors believe it will catch
out motorists who try to fool existing CCTV
road cameras by placing mannequins in
passenger seats or fixing photographs to
windscreens.
It will at first be used to police
car-sharing lanes in Leeds, but councils
across the country have already expressed
an interest in using them.
Professor John Tyrer, who headed the
Loughborough University team which
created the device, said it would reduce
congestion.
"It allows you to automatically
count people," he said.
"That pools through to
the congestion charging, so they can charge
differently or reduce the rates dramatically
if you've got more people in the cars."
But motoring organisations claim the
cameras are a further intrusion on private
lives and say car-sharing lanes – which are
already in operation in Birmingham and
Leeds and are being built on the M1 in
Hertfordshire – do not work.
AA president Edmund King said: "Most of
us work flexible hours. We don't go to work
or come home from work at the same time.
"Car-sharing lanes are incredibly difficult to
enforce and, if not many people use them,
they're actually a waste of road capacity."
Roads Minister Rosie Winterton said last
night she encouraged "innovative solutions"
to the problems created by congestion
For some reason I find this particularly creepy. It's all getting to Orwellian for me.

Thank you troops for helping to destroy our international relations. Thank you for raping the women and young girls of other countries. Thank you for the slaughter of thousands of innocent people. Thank you for for helping make the oil companies record profits. Thank you to the U.S. military for helping to spread the disease of American gangs such as the U.B.N.,MEXICAN MAFIA, CRYPTS,FOLK NATION, and others across the world. You claim to be an American yet forget that the most beautiful right we have. If we have a problem with he way things are in America we can stand up and let our voices be heard. Yet you claim it;s biting the hand that feeds.You are blinded by your assumed patriotic behaviors.This war on terror is a bigger waste of time money and more importantly LIFE than the war on drugs. Terrorism is a reaction, not a place. I know that this will fall upon deaf ears. That does not matter. America was founded by men tired of not having the ability to change the way things were in their country. Bush's "pre-emptive war is the same as Hitler's "pre-emptive" wars. This is an analogy not a glorification of the Nazi Party. I originally planed on this being a comment; but, due to the weak minded inability to accept a view different from his own. I have decided to post this as a blog. Mybobblue I welcome your response. Coward

FROM EVILBIBLE.COM
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

At my favorite site whatreallyhappened.com I came across a story that apparently is a taboo subject with this station. www.youtube.com/watch?v=trWcqxrQgcc&NR=1
On the chatboard I simply asked John Wilson if he could enlighten me on this story and he promptly shut down my connection and banned me from the chat board. Why is this? Well, check out the video and decide for yourself. Yes, it did happen with this branch of Fox. In fact, Mr. Wilson himself appears on the video "reporting" from Fox. It has to do with the safety of our children.

Believe it or not I was a delinquent youth. I never went to a boot camp; I was too smart to break that many laws. However just being a punk kid with a few minor infractions, I was sent to Outward bound. Through out my travels in the juvenile correction circuit, I have never seen ANYONE taken down by the guards that did not provoke the situation to this point. Consequently, not all teens are as tough as they think they are. Rarely and I do mean rarely, will you find me siding with the police. This however, is one of those times. Martin Anderson is dead, (no big loss to society). And several people and their families are without a job and money. If you can't play the game stay out of court. Everyone who starts to get in trouble learns this right away. Apparently, Mr. Anderson. ( I find this demeaning to Neo) Couldn't play the game. His fault his loss.

I see that there is a story on the page today about gay marriage. So I wonder, what business is it of any body's whom gets married to whom. THIS is a problem that a religion based government causes.Now really you can claim that what you believe is the Alpha and Omega of faith, but well I'm sorry but no one knows for sure. That is why it is your faith; you are just kinda assuming that you are right. Which is ok for the most part. A lot of decent moral values are drawn from religion. But, what gives you the right to claim that one lifestyle is better than another. HOw can you BAN a portion of human beings from marriage. Who the hell are you to make that choice for some one. Moreover, it's a debatable reason to begin with. Hell I'm not even Christian nor am I gay and I can see how wrong this BAN is, how does that grab your gizzard. I can understand the Christian right wing male in all his glory touting the ban on gay marriage. BUt take a look back in America's past. Does any one remember certain let's say lifestyles had no right to vote. We all see how wrong this is now but back then well damn it I think it was religion that kept things this way.But woman's right to vote was nothing compared to the enslavement of the black people. Now these hypocrites really make me angry. Black guys, you are still fighting for your civil rights in many places. It's not so prevalent now but there is a reason why the NAACP still exist right? HOW can you, still fighting for you rights try to deny anyone else theirs?IF everyone was a Nihilist would this world be a better place?

This statement is what John Wilson had me blocked from the chat board for. Nothing out of line or vulgar. Just a short simple truth. Beyond this I was in a discussion with another user not you, Mr. Wilson. Apparently there was some kind of stick or some other large protrusion wedged in you arse that night. Fox like to wave the freedom of press flag all the time. Also, with the shows that are on your stations, it seems to me that you also believe in freedom of speech. Unless it is something you disagree with. Now I can understand if I was being overly rude, vulgar or threating someone. But it was just a harmless conversation I was having with some guy in Australia about his favorite t.v. station. Which, by the way isn't Fox. I find this action to be a sign of weakness and immaturity. I seem to remember a certain video, posted and ridiculed by everyone that works at Fox, where a "investigative" reporter kept harassing a couple, refused to leave their property got beat down by the man and his wife. Now, I know that violence is not always the answer and that is not really my point. The point is how can you as journalists and anyone who works in the media deny anyone their freedom of speech. I was not in violation of any of your site standards. I chose my words carefully so as not to offend anyone with vulgarities. Hell, I pretty sure that there is a block to keep vulgarities from getting through on the chat board.It makes perfect sense to have that kind of set up.How many viewers remember the recent TREE HOUSE OF HORROR this year? I believe a one Mr. Ned Flanders said anyone who watches Fox or their affiliates is going to Hell? I for one do. Apparently Fox is unaware of the "goose and gander theory." Being that I am already blocked from the chat board I will go ahead and tell you that your actions are weak and very childish Mr. Wilson. If you don't like what people say about Fox maybe you should take a closer look at your employer. One last thing before I go. Just now, I had to check to see if anyone feels the same about Mr. Murdoch other than me and my cronies. I entered three words into Google and hit enter. Rupert, Murdoch, and Evil. Can you guess what the result was?

Ok,
what the BLEEP is this BLEEP I just found out? I'm sure everyone has
seen the ads. Very vague unless you recognize the glowing red eyes that
can only come from one source. A T-1000. So like any good dork; I went
to the website to see if my current suspicions were true.
Takebackthefuture.com is the website. There is nothing there but a
counter ticking off days. About 20 secs of nothing there is a brief
mumbling of words and a short
unintelligible flash of something
within the counting screen. Upon further investigation I discovered
that my hopes were dashed upon the rocks worse than I assumed. No dear
friends; no new Terminator movie. Which is very disappointing. I, for one really enjoyed the series. BLEEP off if you didn't like the last
one. Albeit not directed by Mr. Cameron it brought the story from the
destruction of Skynet to THE WAR AGAINST THE MACHINES. I perfer T2 to
the others; but now my friends, now they have taken the cake. THE ARE
MAKING IT INTO A BLEEP TELEVISION SHOW.....ON FOX!! BLEEP you everyone
involved! Do they not realize the troubles James Cameron went to to develop this story? His first idea of a Terminator in 1981 or '82 was
the T-2000; but as any decent director, he was aware that the
technology of the eighties was not sufficient to support his dream. Do
you know what he did? He made The Terminator to bring people in on the
story. Yeah bitches how is that for bait? Then he patiently waited 7
years for technology to catch up with what he envisioned: a liquid
metal robot. How many of you really remember T-2? Every time the T-2000
replicated someone Mr. Cameron somehow found an entire set of actors
with twins so he would not have to pull the film over that is normally
used to reproduce actors; like in such BLEEP films like Double Impact,
staring Jean-Claude Van Dumbass. Now its going to be some BLEEP recap on
BLEEP FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know there is a reason they did this
film with a monstrous budget. Because that is what it BLEEP takes to
put something of this caliber together. Maybe I am being a little judgmental on this but I mean really. Stargate a great movie. Stargate
SG-1 a BLEEP tv show. Did anyone watch the Blade show on...I think it
was USA that did that one. If you want more go to WIKI. I call
shenanigans. How dare they get mine and everyone who is a fan of the
storyline hopes up. For a brief second I thought that a fourth was in
the works.But no, a television show. I can only hope that it tanks.
This kind of treachery can only drive fans away from the story. Instead
of what they intend. So one final BLEEP YOU to everyone involved again.
And a double go BLEEP yourself to FOX whom I am sure are the main demons
driving this Helltrain.Well I guess I'm outta steam now so I am going
to go chill.

I understand that I am probably the only person here who plays video games but I would like to know why is that the game Manhunt 2 is currently banned for lack of a better word.Total ban in the U.K. and it wont be released on 2 of the 3 game platforms. It has been given an A.O. rating (adults only). Well if thats the case why do most retailers refuse to sell games with such ratings. Video games are not just for children anymore.I grew up on games. I am a somewhat mature adult I would like to play games targeted for adults. Who the he11 is anyone to say as an adult I cannot play this game. I can distinguish between reality and fantasy..... most of the time.Games like this help me to moderate my anger.Have a bad day at work come home and chop someones head off and use it to distract their teammate so I can smash his skull in with a bat.This can be currently played out in the original Manhunt game. Now Take- two games must make several cuts to the game in order to achieve sales.Tis BLEEP I tell ya BLEEP. The destruction of our freedom starts in small unnoticed steps and snowballs from there.
btw IF you do happen to enjoy video games Manhunt is HIGHLY recommended.It is to be played alone in the dark much like The Suffering,resident Evil and Silent hill The last two I may add are major motion pictures. Thats funny if people can truly act this out in a movie why cant I do so on an Xbox or ps3 in my own home
