Read the book "Nickel and Dimed" It's about an experiment at seriously trying to live on 6 to 7 dollars an hour. You might enlighten your dumb ass.

Do you make $6-$7/hour, fitzov?

I think OPEC have made their cash grab, and when the fed announced the high prices were having a negative effect on the economy they decided to move the price to about $2.00 a gallon.

The sheep will be happy and the pubs win another election.

Fixed.

Is there really a difference?

"Ultra rich" in Dave-speak means Rich Republicans (or anyone who makes more than $40k/year) in the US.

OPEC is a trading cartel of foreign countries.

So your proof that Bush, Cheney, and Rush are co-owners of a country is Haliburton?

/shakes head

No surprise you are on the bottom of the food chain in this country.

I don't think that's the issue here. The issue is that there ARE people who are living on minimum wage who can't afford to invest in oil to offset their gas costs. Delivering pizzas ain't like it used to be.

 

[judasmachine]

I'm sure it's been mentioned but the per gallon price here has dropped over $0.55 over the last three weeks, from a maximum of $3.05 to $2.46.

ROFL, no doubt. I'd love to see evidence that Haliburton in any way controls or influences OPEC.

A little off topic here, but... my ex-gf just got back from Kentucky. Her boss races horses and they went to the annual horse sale/auction that ended this past weekend. Anyway, she briefly met two brothers from Dubai who flew in on twin Boeing 777s for the horse sale. They are in oil, obviously. Do you know how much money they make? Guess now. Now guess higher. Again, guess higher.





Over 100 million dollars. Per day. Obscene.

The ex-gf is trying to pursue a Public Relations job with them... ha!

My comment is no more stupid than 43% of Republicans still believing there is a direct connection between Saddam and 9-11 but here it is:

9-12-2006 43% continue to believe that there were links between Saddam Hussein's government and Al Qaeda prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

OK you have now proven yourself dumb. Let me point out a few for you OK?
*YOU said "43% of Republicans", but the article you linked says "43 Americans".

*YOU said "...still believing there is a direct connection between Saddam and 9-11". The article says "believe that there were links between Saddam Hussein's government and Al Qaeda prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

See the difference? If youre going to quote an article, at least quote it correctly and not what you WANT it to say

And my statement still stands. You apperantly need to Google OPEC and let us all know how Bush, Cheney, Rush, et al can possibly own it

LOL @ you

Of course Republicans are Americans you dolt. But theres a HUGE difference between a poll of Americans and a poll of Republicans. You might as well have said 43% of women believe there is a direct link. I mean, women are Americans right? :roll:

And what do you mean by I am right, they hate America...when did I say anything close to that? Man, take your meds or something youre off the deep end.

Oil continues to plummet. Down $1.85 today to $63.76. Unleaded gas futures down to $1.56.

Where's that $4+/gal. gas you've been promising us, Dave?

None in my area and I live on the left coast (in case you forgot). I was paying close to $3.20 for premium though for a while.

Historically, gas prices (along with interest rates) go up prior to an election. Nice conspiracy theory though. If it is true, then perhaps you could tell us why gas prices went up (not down) prior to the 2004 election?

It was the 2nd closest election for an incumbent President in US history (after Wilson "kept us out of the war" in 1916, and the 4th or 5th closest overall IIRC).
