Well I see the glitch has returned just in time for the weekend. Anyone else having a problem?

My friend Don just told me he was at a local gun shop and was buying some 9mm ammo. He gave the owner his Chase debit card. The owner told him he couldn't use the card for payment. Don thought it was because the owner assumed it was a credit card. Don told him it was a debit card. The shop owner then told Don it was because Chase Bank will not honor gun or ao purchases with their credit and debit cards Has anyone elserun into this problem? Has anyone else run into this?

WASHINGTON - Former Bush White House official Karl Rove was questioned by House Judiciary Committee lawyers Tuesday on any role he may have played in politically motivated firings of U.S. attorneys.

JOHNSTON, Iowa – In a recently publicized video from the Democratic primaries, Sen. Barack Obama said the government should drive energy bills up though "price signals" in order to force Americans into more environmentally friendly choices. In the Nov. 9, 2007, interview on Iowa Public Television's "Iowa Press," Obama said Americans like driving SUVs and leaving the lights on, but since "it is undisputable that the climate is getting warmer," consumers would have to change their habits. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79758

What is your guess for the DIMs October Surprise? I believe that it will be dumping Biden and picking up Hillary.

The new Democrat-controlled Senate has confirmed just 29 percent of President Bush's nominations so far this year, leaving many government agencies without key officials and slowing work to a crawl in some departments. Since Jan. 7, the president has sent 229 major nominations to the Senate, but just 66 have been confirmed. Those figures exclude U.S. attorneys, marshals and judges, but the White House says those nominations also have an alarmingly low confirmation rate — just 18 of the 46 (39 percent) sent to the Senate this year have been approved. http://washingtontimes.com/article/20070702/NATION/107020057/1002

I was just sitting here thinking about a 1500 mile drive I have to make, and contemplating burning a couple CDS for the drive. I found some music that would make it more interesting but not enough. So here is the question. If you were going to drive from Phoenix to Indy, you were in a sports car, what music would you want to have on your cd?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Bank of America Corp., hoping to grab a larger share of the U.S.-Mexican financial services market, will drop all foreign exchange and other transfer fees between the two countries, the bank said Thursday. Starting in Chicago, the Charlotte-based bank will offer account holders free money transfers between the two countries by the end of the year. Other customers will pay a reduced fee until the program rolls out nationwide in late 2005. "Our customers have identified this need, and we are responding," said Liam McGee, the bank's consumer and small business president. According to the United Nations,...

Every time I hear about how W is a "Fortunate Son", I want to scream. I just wish that the Alphabet soup media, the DNC, and whom ever else keeps talking up these points would just look into their own closets for skeletons. Here is one I found about the darling of the Demoncrats, the most verbal and abusive toward W. Yes, I am talking about the master driver Edward M.

There are many ethically bankrupt, self-centered palookas who want to test another formula for silencing serious opposition. One -- Dan Rather -- is so silly, he deserves special mention. As this letter will make clear, you don't have to say anything specifically about Rather for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should speak up and speak out against him. Please forgive the following sermon, but it can't be avoided in this discussion: For those of us who make our living trying to give our propaganda fighters an instrument that is...

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices hit their highest level in at least 21 years on Wednesday after bailiffs ordered beleaguered Russian oil giant YUKOS to stop sales, threatening further strain on tight international supplies. The news intensified concerns over the lack of spare capacity in the international oil system, as the OPEC cartel pumps at its highest level for a quarter of a century to meet strong global demand growth. Gains accelerated after a weekly U.S. government report showed just a small build in crude stocks and a fall in gasoline inventories even though crude imports into the country were...
