My brother-in-law might be heading to the OIL boom town of Williston, ND. As an expert welder he can expect to earn quite a bit of money. He doesn't like cold weather so I told him to work until late November and then take a 4 month vacation until the weather become warmer next year. Oh, and be prepared to sleep in his SUV.

Compare the oil boom of Williston to the Solyndra and other solar energy FLOPS.

...but with the worst do-nothing Congress in my memory, that is not likely to happen.

You're right. I don't think that the creepy, Stinky Harry Reid would go for it. He's been in a really cranky mood lately. More than likely, one of his land deals isn't paying off or something.

What I do a lot of the time is I compare gas prices to bunker fuel prices. Since December, bunker fuel has increased 15%. During the same period, automobile gasoline at the local service station has increased almost 33%. This pretty dramatically shows just how much overhead all these silly gas formulations, taxes and fees add up - the increase in the cost of oil is doubled just by governmental overhead.

And in just a few more cents, diesel will reach the magic benchmark that jumps the price of shipping for FedEx, UPS, etc. Boy, the economy sure will be roaring under these conditions!

the dems are deliberately baiting the right to hang their hat on gas prices... knowing full well they can adjust the prices 30-90 days before the election

meanwhile, has anyone else noticed all the flak thrown in the air since sheriff joe’s press conference?

don’t get me wrong, i believe the birth certificate to be a red herring (though all crimes, including forgery of federal documents, should be persecuted)... to keep people from focusing on the most obvious disqualification... the fact that both parents were not US citizens

minor v happersett (1874) supreme court ruling on the meaning of natural born citizen:

http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/88/162/case.html

“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens.
Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature
of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that
all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves,
upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as
distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

personally, i’d love to know how someone that is ineligible to assume office can be on the ballot in november. i’ve crawled all over this in florida and there is no way to contest someone’s eligibility prior to the election. which is f*cked up. we could put mickey mouse on the ticket and they would obligingly take it

maybe the dems should elect r's to office maybe when millions are homeless and starving they'll begin to wake up.

LOL! From a supporter of the Food-Stamp President!

Face it-Peak Oil isn't coming, it's HERE! .... It's one of the best kept open secrets today that the world is running out of large crude oil deposits. It's running out. Flat. That's the scoop.
The DUmmie is right. The world ran out of oil in 1978.
It's true. I read it in Time Magazine.

While I was buying Parkas and Snow Shoes for the coming Ice Age they also predicted.

Tell your BIL that welders are needed here in Midland TX. Weather is a bit more tolerable in the winter.

Way to win hearts and minds, DUmmies. They came up with a new campaign slogan:

” Obama should start releasing the strategic reserves or at least threaten to do so to make speculators flee.”

So an INCREASE or PLAN TO INCREASE supply woould lower prices? Hmm, I better think about that.

Have you seen MSNBC’s half hour expose of the Oil Boom in Williston? Clearly it is nothing but negative for them! MSNBC told me so.....

My dad owns some property a couple hours northwest of Houston, not quite what we’d call central Texas. We went to his country place a couple weeks ago, and not only were there derricks after rigs after pumpjacks, and tons of pad sites under construction ... the closest town has three new hotels and two new trailer parks to accommodate the oil workers. They can’t get people into town fast enough to work all that oil.

Solution: nationalize the energy industry

These Leftist think that oil will magically appear if ExxonMobilShellConocoPhillipsUnionSunoco was 'USOIL Company'. PEMEX is one of the worst oil company and until it was privatized FINA and Total were basket cases to the french taxpayers. PetroBras was recently privatized...these BRAIN DEAD LEFTISTS in the USA want to NATIONALIZE OIL AND GAS?? For what -- to reduce dependence on autos?
