JohnH,

It is funny that Kevin thinks someone showing Clams an ID showing that the
person with the ID is not Kevin Noble is proof that Basskisser is not Kevin
Noble.

Basskisser has been sending me email asking me to meet up with Clams and
show him my ID. ; )

I'm not Kevin, and if I'm an idiot, it certainly makes you much, much

never, ever said that I would refrain from such. YOU DID. I guess it
was just another of your hundreds of lies here, huh?
Now, as long as you keep calling me Kevin, I'll ask: will you be man
enough to apologize when I prove I'm not Kevin? Now, before you show
your stupidity, I've been emailing Clams. We're going to try to meet up
in a couple of weeks. Well, are you at least man enough to answer?
Nah....I doubt it.

How many emails will it take to get Clams to say you're not Kevin?

The solution is simple: Kevin should ask Harry to take him for a ride on the 36'
Lobsta boat. Then Harry could check Kevin's birth certificate, driver's license,
college diplomas (all of them), and any mug shots that may exist. Then Kevin
could voutch for Harry's boat, and Harry could voutch for Kevin's lack of
authenticity.



We had a great day boating today, Herring, but we didn't see you out on
the water. We even popped into Deale for lunch.

Beautiful weather, too. Will probably be out again Sunday. It's great to
have reliable boats.


Harry, Harry, Harry...

If you've been following along, you'll know I spent the day on the water
yesterday! I very seldom go out two days in a row - too many other commitments.

We did catch a mess of perch yesterday, but not nearly as nice as the fish you
caught today!

Gosh, all the way from Solomons to Deale for lunch. Wow!

Yeah......the evil bush tax cuts caused oil prices to rise.....LMAO


If this country became a war zone like Iraq, and a black market developed
for certain goods, do you think those things would be MORE expensive, or
LESS expensive than before the war?

I agree.



And what exactly did Bush have to do with this?




Here you go Jim:
Don't Blame OPEC; Higher Gas Prices Are Almost Entirely Bush's Fault
Dave Lindorff, ILCA Associate Member

What is making oil so expensive is not energy policy or even SUV's,
dangerous as those are for the environment. It's Bush's massive
deficits and his willful destruction of the US dollar that has gas
selling at $2.30 a gallon and rising.


There's been a lot of hand-wringing going on among economists and
politicians, and a lot of fuming at the gas pump by consumers over the
soaring price of oil over the last two years.


Increasingly, concern is being expressed by treasury officials and
economists about the negative impact soaring oil prices and related gas

prices could have on the overall economy. Politicians--especially
Republicans--are also fretting, since the thousands of extra dollars
consumers are now spending on electricity, home heating and gasoline
have, for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, more than cancelled out any

minimal benefits they saw from the president's tax cuts.


What's wrong with this picture?


The focus of all this anger and angst is oil prices. As a result,
everyone is looking at culprits in the wrong place, blaming wasteful
energy use, OPEC production quotas, monopolistic oil companies and/or
conniving oil traders.


In fact the real culprit behind these higher oil prices is the Bush
Administration, which, thanks to its massive deficits and tax
give-aways to the rich and corporations, to its war spending, and to
its failure to combat unprecedented and ever-larger trade deficits, has

been causing the dollar to plunge in value.


Oil is a commodity and it is priced in dollars. If dollars decline in
value, then the price of oil will rise in inverse proportion.




Man, this gets old.

did you ever consider supply and demand? or would that get in your way.

Like T. Boone Pickens (oil tycoon) said: : When you need 36 mil.
Barrel of crude to run a country, and can only get 34 Mil barrel, what
does that do to pricing?

I know, I know. That doesn't fit any kind of political logic. because
it is one of a few circumstances of reasoning. I know, know...it's so
much easier (and to some its much more fun) to bash Bush........ that
little meanie.....LOL

There is not one example in the history of rec.boats that would
demonstrate that Fritz is sentient. Before I dumped him into the bin, I
noted that 99.9% of his posts consisted of him calling Basskisser names.
I doubt the percentages have changed since.


Who is Basskisser? Thought his name was Kevin or atl_man2(sp?).

Your *bin*? Hee, hee!

Yep.......kevin places the blame on the "massive" bush tax cuts. LMAO

The fact of the matter is that while supply has remained relatively even,
while the demand has increased rapidly. On top of that, there have been no
additional refineries built in the US, which further strains supply on the
consumer end......especially when the EPA demands countless formulas across
the country, further reducing the economies of scale in refining.

I have read your 20 or so contributions you posted here this morning and
most involved putting people down, name calling and generally fighting

to

It is pretty funny seeing our "King of the NG idiots" toss a spell flame
