In other news, the price of gas jumped $0.50 at the pump moments after the blast.

Yep. And the poor gas station owners only make a penny of profit per every 200 gallons sold and if you don't buy a stale twinkie from their store, they will be forced to get out of the gasoline charity service they perform out of patriotic duty.

Good call. And there are lots of these charitable organizations! Amazing how giving Americans are... those noble gas station owners will devote their life to keeping our tanks full, at no profit to themselves.
And the noble gas companies only jack prices up at the mere hint of trouble in an effort to secure our supply of gasoline! Such great people. I feel loved.

You know, when you love someone, sometimes you screw them!

The DJIA started positive but is headed down fairly steeply. Natural gas is up ten cents, but has been somewhat low lately anyway.

That word “sabotage” sounds like somebody had access or in other words an inside job. I can’t wait for the Mexican trucks to hit our highways. Yes I know some have been given permission.

AQ has been promising a major event to bring us down. I’m wondering if they have gotten smart and are trying to cause huge disruptions in our oil and natural gas supplies. If so we could see additional attacks over the next few days. < /tinfoil >

Here’s an article related to the truck explosion. I can’t seem to find a thread. Fox reported this morning that the driver told no one of the truck being loaded with dynamite and it wasn’t until about 30 minutes after the accident, when a crowd had gathered and reporters arrived, that it exploded.

Mexico dynamite truck explosion kills 37

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico - A truck carrying mining explosives blew up after colliding with another vehicle in northern Mexico, killing at least 37 people, including three reporters who came to the scene, state and federal officials said.

Soldiers, police, emergency officials, nearby residents and reporters were on the scene Sunday night when the a fire broke out and the truck filled with explosives went off, according to Luis Horacio de Hoyos of the Coahuila state Attorney General’s Office.

The explosion occurred near the town of Sacramento.

Maximo Alberto Neri Lopez, a federal police official, said 37 people were killed and 150 were injured. He said the explosion left a 10-by-40 foot crater in the concrete.

De Hoyos said three newspaper reporters from the city of Monclova were among the dead.

What’s the sequence of events?

Sounds like the truck may have been used to support an attack (maybe tomorrow) but it got neutralized (or neutralized itself), messing somebody’s schedule.

I posted the story about this from MSNBC, and the moderator pulled it saying it was a duplicate of this thread.

Haven’t heard much about this yet....but then the MSM isn’t finished yet with talk about Brittany’s big comeback and Rita Cosbys new book.

Yeah...I was reminded this morning why I rarely watch Fox News anymore. After hearing about this Mexican pipeline attack this morning, I flipped on Fox News Channel; the first thing I see is Brittany Spears’ chubby ass strutting around on a stage.

I remember reading a recent article about FNC president Roger Ailes being perturbed by a decline in FNC ratings. I’m no programming expert but maybe somebody should tell Ailes that most of his viewer base isn’t interested in E! Channel fare.
