LOL! Of course he does, he also is the maker of news, not the consumer. How fatuous the media display themselves!
Granted there is more demand from the Chinese, India, etc., but between Hugo and Nutjob, there is a lot of hedging going on.

(See 5th Photo down)
Kennedy does not have to do math the same as everyone else. Your photo is priceless, but the most disgusting thing about it (his half, that is) is that ol Ted has been a senator for more than 40 years!
I've also experienced the inconvenience of flying since 911, and at no time did I think to blame the President. I never cease to be amazed at how stupid people are about the Patriot Act, the security at airports, etc., and comments like Matt Damon made yesterday to Chris Matthews about the President's daughters needing to go to Iraq. Does that dolt even know what they have been doing since they graduated college?
Txsleuth, I live in Littleton, New Hampshire, and the people who staff our post office, and my rural mail carriers, are the best. I think the USPS doesn't get half the credit it deserves for the service it provides. Merry Christmas!
Actually it's far worse than that. OPEC has decided to cut production by a half million barrels(they want the price to be $60. per barrel) which the saudis can do by themselves if they choose.(remember the saudis the ones who were actually killed in 911)
One thing they did choose some time ago(our great allies the Saudis again) was to fund sunni terrorists in Iraq. They even went so far as to put boxes(zagat) in local Saudi grocery stores fill them with cash(millions) and then threaten drivers with loss of life or their relatives to drive the cash into Iraq and give to war lords.
It gets better.
Some of the cash was traced back to the purchase of shoulder rockets supplied by our buddies the russians,(remember that jet that went down mysteriously in Iraq).
Anyway we need to start drilling,anywhere,anytime, crank up the nukes, dig for coal, shale oil, biodiesel,wind-mills or anything we need to do and soon or be at the mercy of the terror types(oh excuse me our allies) forever.
Thank you...and I will tell my husband.
Thanks AH! I remember looking at your photos from 'Nam years ago; they're great! Got anymore? I'd love to see 'em.
You're right about Teddy lying, but he is #1 a Kennedy, and #2, a democrat. Still, a good catch, and one we can ask the DBM why they didn't catch, when smart FReepers like you did.
That should be AR, not AH! An AH is something else, entirely.... Like Teddy Kennedy, a REAL AH, LOL!!!!

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
By Mark Kilmer
Sunday, December 17, 2006
Newt Gingrich left Tim Russert mumbling banalities on NBC's MTP this morning, as he talked of ideas while Russert sought mutual Bush-bashing. Among the ideas mentioned by Newt was a proposal to get young Iraqis working for the U.S. government in an FDR-style Civilian Conservation Corps. He also wants a Lincoln-Douglas-style national dialogue between Barack Obama and the Republicans. He'll announce his Presidential intentions in September.
On FOX News Sunday, the Dems sent Teddy Kennedy to talk to Chris Wallace. Kennedy was sober, as near as I can tell, and he admitted that Iraq was no Vietnam. He proved himself an awkward military strategist when he said that our military's goal should be to "put the safety and security of our troops first."
Harry Reid, on ABC's This Week, said in regards to Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota: "Doctors tell us everything is going to be fine." He's not a doctor, so he doesn't know whether or not Senator Johnson is conscious. And Reid has no fears whatsoever that Joe Lieberman will run with his Joementum and caucus with the GOP.
On CBS' Face the Nation, Colin Powell said he has not seen a "solid reason" to put more troops into Iraq, a la John McCain. He matter-of-factly observed that we were losing but had not yet lost in Iraq. He talked about a troop drawdown coordinated with the Iraqis taking over, beginning sometime in the middle of 2007.
On CNN's Late Edition, Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi called the Iraqi army "incompetent" and "corrupt," and insisted that he was not saying this merely because he was a Sunni and the army was run by Shi'ites. He admitted that foreign governments were interfering in Iraq. Asked by Blitzer to name names, the Sunni veep named only Iran. He said that they have worked with Syria and can continue to do so.

Several places to take this (only joking, now)
Maybe he doesn't know better. He claimed that there was this blank about everything that happened before that little dunk off the bridge in '69...
Or
In his inebriated condition throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, he's lucky if he knows his own name!
AB, this is one that we should catalog and get to Fox to see if they'll do a follow up.

Thank you for your kindness, AB!

Somehow I'm on the Wilderness Society mailing list and as soon as Wolverine announced how large their find is Wilderness started an email campaign to stop any drilling in Utah, Wyoming and parts of Colorado.
I get so frustrated that we are dependent on foreign oil because of the very people who turn around and complain that we are dependent on foreign oil...these greenies want us to go back to the dark ages.
CRAIG WANTS GAY BOND SCENE
CBS47 ^ | 11/29/2006

And here's a separate post on a left site about the FR thread (they call us "knuckledraggers" for not liking the idea)
Freeper eruption over Daniel CraigÂ’s call for gay Bond scene
Published by Pam Spaulding November 30th, 2006 in GLBT, Boggles the Mind, Fun stuff, Movies
I actually agree with one poster on the Panadagon site who said:
I read the linked article, and it doesn’t say anything about a “gay love scene‚” — just a gay scene. His immediate comment saying that Doctor Who has gay scenes seems important, since Doctor Who (unless I REALLY missed something) has gay characters and banter, but no steamy man on Doctor action.
It seems perfectly reasonable that a “double-0″ agent might have to secude a man now and again for “Queen and country‚” for all the same reasons they seduce the women “in the line of duty.”
When Bruce Willis played the assassin in The Jackel he slipped into a disguise as a gay man and seduced a gay at a gay bar to get a safe house to hide in, then promptly shot the guy. I might not like it but it would be perfectly in character for someone in that line of work, which this new Bond is. I don't like it, nor do I think it will help the movie, but it doesn't freak me out, if it's the kind of thing described above. Of course, the fact that they want to do it for their "gay" audience is pretty low. It makes you wonder why they put in the nude sadomasochistic torture scene in this one.
Thanks to pressure from the UN, Joe Shirley has sworn they will never mine Uranium on the Navajo Reservation... another shame thanks to enviros.
