As usual our local gasoline mmonopoly continues to gouge us. In town stations are paying $3.55/gal. Half an hour to 45 minutes away it drops down to $3.35. And as usual they blame transportation cost as the excuse for the higher prices. I'll be so glad to move out of this town someday.

4019 American dead, 40,229 American wounded, and perhaps 1 million Iraqi dead and perhaps half a million refugees, but nobody knows for sure. As our fearless leader has repeatedly said, Iraqis don't count.
Meanwhile, American oil companies received $18 billion in tax subsidies last year while their profits hit $123 billion; the highest recorded corporate profits in history.
Think about that the next time you fill up your SUV.
