Here...grab this rope before you sink any further in the mud, Wayne. Do you listen to the news at all? Think of the last 100 times you've heard about price increases for a barrel of oil during the last 24 months. Now, forget the reports you heard when hurricanes were a threat. That leaves 90% of the reports. A hurricane around oil rigs is a valid reason for price jitters. Now, for the remaining 90%, what's the reason mentioned almost 100% of the time? According to the NY Times, Washington Post, CBS, etc.? Or according to those without a political axe to grind? Hopefully, Wayne will respond on his own. For you: "Oil prices jumped $2.00 a barrel today, on fears surrounding new violence in XYZ country" Explain the bias in that statement. |

I, for one, am looking forward to a greater number of boating related posts from down Naples way. When I'm boating and fishing, I spend less time here talking about boating and fishing. But red tide is pretty thick here right now, so expect more frequent posts...but don't hold your breath that they're all about boating. I figured you were busy trying to figure out how to help your president out of the strategic corner he painted himself into. You caught me. But now that he's out (45% approval rating according to Rasmussen), I'm baaaaaaaaaaaccccckkk. ;-) |
