You sir are a putz. I voted against Barry O. I firmly believe the election was rigged. Yeah, I enjoy drinking a hiball in a convertible going down the hiway. I am 50 alive and never hurt anyone so.... there you are

Good post today on spelling and grammar. Just don't get me started on those who insist that a final "s" must be preceded by an apostrophe.

Saw your comment on the Fewer Americans commuting solo thread. I posted one afterward stating that half of my daily commute is by commuter bus (Route 24, Sooner Express Norman-Downtown-OUHSC-Capitol).

I saw your "news analysis" comment on the article. I think that is just the NYT's way of expanding it's op-ed section beyond the editorial pages. By definition, analysis involves something other than reporting "news". That something is exactly what you identified: Opinion. That means it is only slightly more left leaning than their typical news report.

Nice to hear that there are other supporters of Dr. Paul. I have been following his career for a long time and he is a rare breed. Maybe we can persuade enough folks to listen to his counsel and vote for him.

""Bear in mind, those of you who want to "defend" the dollar, it will almost certainly require a hefty tax increase along with continued downsizing of the budget, the actions of the Federal Reserve notwithstanding." Really? I can see interest rates rising, and, given the inflation we've been experiencing in food and fuel prices the past few years, I think that might be a good thing. But "a hefty tax increase" due to a higher valued dollar? Please explain." I come in peace, esquared. I posted this on the general blog, and I really would be interested in your thoughts on this subject. Please respond on my whiteboard, if you wish.

Please, become my NEWEST Gas Buddy.

Good comment. I wasn't aware of that in 2007. You're obviously someone that picks up on alternative fuels and stays aware of what is going on. I know what Natural Gas is and what it refers to, but at some point the term that is used for identification of it is going to HAVE to become more specific in that there are a LOT of natural gases, some of which can be used to power engines. I am kind of partial to Hydrogen, in that the exhaust is water vapor. I Googled CNG and learned that it meant Compressed Natural Gas.

Way to go on you million mark!

I just read your comment about the beanie on the Capitol dome. LOL. After watching part of the HC Summit, I have to agree.
