That photo is priceless! Would love to see her face!

I think the federal government and the states should each tack an additional $.50 per gallon tax on gasoline.

These taxes would help the states and federal government reduce their deficits and save needed jobs like teachers and firemen. These taxes would cause people to rethink their wasteful driving habits and drive less, as well as consider hybrids and electric cars as viable options instead of polluting gasoline. Our dependence on foreign oil would be reduced along with the pollution.

Raising taxes, in this case would help lessen big oil's stranglehold on our economy and political system and be a win, win, win situation for everyone.

JOISEY - LOVE THE PIC !

SOME 'STUFF' ABOUT OIL CO.S IN THE HOPPER RIGHT NOW ... SOON ...

I just had my first $100 fill up. Ouch. Still beats walking to work. Patrick

$1.26 a litre up here and this morning one of the service stations offered a ten cent a liter discount for one hour, they had to have the police come in to control the traffic that it created.

sure feels that way!

Ed,
did you stomp your feet and shout obscenities way back when gas hit $1 per gal.?
Did you write your congressman when oil hit $50 per barrel?
Did you raise your voice in support of alternative fuel sources?
Your poem is funny, no doubt, but truthfully my friend this crisis did not just happen, yet, we are still dependent on someone else's profit taking. What will you say when gas hits $5 per gallon?

Cheers with no offense intended,
Dan

Where do you find those pics, bro, you are a hoot!;-)

Hilarious!!! You've managed to remind us we must keep our sense of humour in all the "poopy" stuff that's going on in this world.....giggle

Wow! You still have 'Full Service' gas stations in Jersey??!! Does the Attendant wash and wipe your buttocks, too?



PS: Next time try the Premium; it really cleans you out fast.

You've said it all, Ed. Well told.

I thought I was the one with the fever.
