Timing is everything. ABC had a story which was shaky and probably would not get much notice, until the fat boy came out in defense of the indefensible Mr. Jefferson. Before the ABC story came out, the fat boy looked like he and every member in both parties had a lot to hide and a lot to be afraid of. It is not like there are very many in Congress doing the people's business, they are owned by special interests. Whether it be the Democrats by the trial lawyers or Republicans by defense contractors. Using unmanned aircraft to stop illegal immigrants is simply a form of welfare for the defense contractors. There are lot of things that could be done to enforce our borders, using those expensive unmanned aircraft for border patrol defies commons sense.

I somehow just knew Ross was behind this. Snide, nasty, homely piece of crap that he is.

Come On gang. They all are a bunch of crooks! That's what total imperial power does to us creatures. The real good guys get out after they see the corruption & can''t live with it. Trust a used car salesman befor these phonies.

You help the Dems and here's your payback fat boy. Please step down now.

GMA did an expose' on the oil industry yesterday.

The usual 'big oil is gouging us' hit piece.

They wrapped it in on the scene reporters on oil rigs, etc. to give it the air of 'in depth and legitimacy'.

They mentioned the billions in profits the oil companies are making but somehow failed to mention the multi-billions the government is making.

If the oil co. is making 10% ( I think that's about right) then they are making about .30/ gal at $3.00/gal.

The average government take is around .48 /gal.
And some States, including mine, North Carolina, set the tax as a % of the price/gal.
Every six months NC reviews the cost of a gallon of gas and adjusts the tax accordingly.


Now WHO is gouging???

To be frank, there's probably 535 of them "in the mix".

ABC, does Dan Rather work there now?

Ross with a follow up now.

Still not disclosing the source, just regurgitating the same vague guilt by association nonsense.

Pretty sad.
