Pork futures Brad, pork futures Does this mean BBQ sauce will go up?

I have a hard time trust a president who waves to Stevie Wonder...

But seriously though, I'm not american, so I shouldn't be considered. But if your economy is going down, it sure as hell isn't good for us either.

This smells like a Boosh bad thread.... Nothing more.

Da Prez is Stoopid. We've heard i already. Abraham Lincoln was an ignorant gorilla when he was in his last term. Yes, I am comparing the evil Boosh to Lincoln.

To me that is not disrespecting your country, rather following the very principles it was founded on.

It's called "Patriotism", and I have very few things that I hate worse than it.

I think your definition of Patriotism is somewhat flawed Stealth Hunter.

[Brag]

Bush?
Is that the guy who's been in charge of the US while that country changed from most popular to most hated around the world?

Ummm. My wallet is sufering, too.

I think you need to explain a little more. Is it before or after "or".

I'm disgusted by the current tax on air travel. £222 of my £580 fare was tax. Subtract £50 for my travel insurance.

Here is a good one for today. My wife does the grocery shopping every week. She is VERY conscience of prices/sales/specials, etc. because we keep a budget for groceries. Today she came home from the store and said she had to pay $2.00 for a dozen eggs. Normally the eggs run her .99 cents. She asked me if there is a shortage of chickens and if eggs are in great demand. I said no but costs to keep the coops going and fuel increases for the trucks to get them to the store certainly have gone up. Welcome to the snowball effect I mentioned a few posts back.

Get your own chickens, then

My father is a HGV driver here in Wales. He works for a logistics firm called TNT, who contracted some haulage jobs to his company, A & M Transport. This one day, they phoned him up saying he needed to take his truck to the filling station because the forecourt at the depot was completely out of diesel. Naturally, this would be paid for using the company cards, but it took them three hours to find one with money left on it.

With rising fuel prices and more and more people starting to blame trucks and haulage firms, where does that leave the driver?

We're repeating history. Remember when diesel was 1/3 or 1/4 the price of gasonline because it was used commercially by truckers? Then the auto companies had a good idea: let's produce diesel autos to take advantage of the price disparity. The oil companies merely adjusted the price of diesel to gasoline levels.

What's about to happen. President O'Bama, under pressure to produce some of that change he's promising (when we need dollars:rotfl will push and possibly mandate plug-in hybrids. These hybrids will be plugged into your house electrical system to recharge batteries, the primary power source of these vehicles. Any guesses what will happen to your electrical bill? It's not goona be pretty.

Electric cars are not the answer IMHO. Sure, you do reduce emissions from autos but you are cranking out emissions from the coal burning generators that now have to take up the extra load. The electic bill ain't pretty now We need a form of fuel for cars other than oil.

Ok, last week Bush said the US is not in a recession. This week:

Was George attempting to wish away the problem?
