Good News – U.S. gasoline price marks biggest drop ever

by Mike on October 13, 2008 , 00:48

I don’t buy a lot of gasoline. The last time I bought gas for my Toyota the price was $4.10 a gallon. I filled it up Saturday and was amazed to find it was down to $3.29…

Sunday I filled up my pickup truck and the price had dropped to $3.17. That’s nearly a $1.00 drop in 2 or 3 weeks ( not sure the date of the $4.10 fillup)

Here is a story I found about it…. U.S. gasoline price marks biggest drop ever

There is some good news out there… Really!

Heaviest Element Yet Known to Science

by Mike on October 7, 2008 , 03:45

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Obama’s Chicago war zone

by Mike on October 6, 2008 , 10:59

Chicago War Zone Information
Body count:
In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago vs. 221 killed in Iraq.
Senaators. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader
Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley…The leadership in Illinois…all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago!
Of course they’re all blaming each other. Can’t blame Republicans, there aren’t any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look ‘em up if you want).
Chicago school system one of the worst in country.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. He’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics?

I think he needs to stay right in Chicago and fix that first.. Then he can worry about the US and the world.

10 minute video everyone should see

by Mike on September 29, 2008 , 00:08

You really should see this video. It explains just who’s “Failed policies” caused the mess on Wall Street and Main Street. I got caught in this bubble and lucky (so far) that I’m still doing OK.. Please watch this! ***UPDATE*** It looks like youtube had removed the video. BUMMER!
