========================================

Speaking as one who worked in construction for a number of years, I find the frequency of cranes collapsing in New York City to be very disturbing.

As the old saying goes: " there's something rotten in Denmark", or NYC as the case may be.

They better fix it.

Energy Cost

I wonder how many people think that if they have patience, the price of gasoline will go down to a level more like a year or so ago. It ain't gonna happen. So sorry!

Oil on the market closed a little below $130 per barrel today, but my bet is that it goes up again, by 3, down by 2, up by 4, down by 3, and so on and on. Some experts think $200 per barrel is possible, and $6-7 per gallon of gasoline is coming. Maybe even higher!

I have a theory, that's not pleasant to contemplate. I think maybe the folks that have control of the crude oil supply, (middle east folks) know it makes no sense to challenge us militarily, but by slowly driving up the cost of energy, they can eventually wreck our economy.

"Why would they do this?", you may ask. THINK IRAQ, among other things.

The policies of the fools that have been running this country have created much emnity against us by millions of people in various parts of the world. What will it take to recover from this madness?

HITLER WORKED FOR GOD?

May 22, 2008,  5:14 pm McCain Rejects Hagee Backing as Nazi Remarks Surface

By Michael Luo

The rejection of Mr. Hagee’s endorsement occurred after another controversial sermon from the televangelist and pastor of Cornerstone, a mega-church in San Antonio, surfaced in which he argued that biblical verses made clear that Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust was part of God’s plan to chase the Jews from Europe and drive them to Palestine

This surely is religion at it's worst. If you take this idiot preacher seriously, you could end up believing that Hitler was the second coming.

How can people sit through this swill and go home afterwards feeling uplifted? No wonder this country is going downhill fast.

McCAIN AND CUBA

John McCain, the nominee presumptive of the Republican Party is on a major rant about Cuba, and how Obama would sell out the United States were he to become president.

 

Question 1: What is it about weak and tiny Cuba that seems to frighten so many politicians, mostly of the rightist persuasion? Is it Cuba's all powerful military force that scares hell out of the Republicans, much as a mouse is reputed to frighten an elephant?  Question 2: Is this why the elephant is the Republican symbol?

 

My answer to Question 1: There are a lot of Cuban voters in Florida that have a huge effect on the Electoral College vote, and the Republicans will stoop as low as necessary to gain these votes. My answer to Question 2: I don't have an honest answer. I wish I did, but these folks are hard to fathom.
