A Dixie Chick's opinion about Mr. Bush ignites protests

^^^The protests are fucking stupid. Why should such a backlash have to happen just because they don't agree with what she said? Go Natalie.

Social Security funds expected to run out in 2042.

^^^That's fucking perfect. I'll be 58 years old, SEVEN YEARS FROM RETIREMENT. I wish there was a little check box on taxes so that you can choose not to pay social security. Why pay it if I ain't gonna enjoy it?

$3.19 a gallon for gas in California!!!

^^^It's still $1.60-$1.70 here, but it'll likely shoot up around Memorial Day. As soon as I get home for the summer, I'm parking that Blazer in the garage and riding my bike to work..until August. No driving for me.

Severe Weather Expected Across Central Plains

^^^I'm right smack in the middle of that red area, so it should be an interesting night to be a meteorology major. If gas and auto insurance weren't so expensive, I'd go storm chasing.

10 ways to pay for this war

^^^Oh holy hell. I think a good 7 or 8 out of 10 of those hurt me or someone I know. The LAST thing that farmers need right now is less aid. Terrific.

Borrowed from a letter addressed to Pres. Bush, I rather like this sentence. I like how it rolls off the ol' tongue...

I, for one, was not impressed by his speech. Much of it just sounded like a broken record. Regardless, I had better buckle down for a war. *sigh*
