Oil expected to go over $100 a barrel

All kidding aside, it was the rapid run up of oil prices in the spring of 2008 that finished off the economy. Now we see it happening all over again. Except we have no reserves this time.

Congress has dithered and blathered for almost 30 months. Speculators must be forced out of this market immediately. Obama must take back his drilling freeze comments....

.... of course he won't because he wants the economy destroyed.....

And people who buy oil futres MUST be able to take delivery of the product.  That'll slow'em down and bring reality back into the market.

A new Canadian Wine

FINALLY..............

New Wine for the 50+

I kid you not.... New Wine for Seniors


Canadian vintners in the Niagara Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people will have to make to the bathroom during the night.

The new wine will be marketed as



PINO MORE

Bits and pieces 12/8

I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

Oh how I hope Global Warming is real.

Don Meredith is dead at age 72. I never saw him play but he entertained me on Monday Night Football with his humor. Plus he had the nerve to tell the truth. If a game was over in the third quarter his winsome rendition of, “Turn Out the Lights’ (the party’s over) told us it was okay to just enjoy the world and leave the game to those who felt that football was the end all of everything.

Now we have five pro games every week and a plethora of “color men” and announcers who explain every twitch and strategy. Yet none of them have the nerve to say, “That was stupid,” when the coach calls a running play when his running backs have not yet gone more two yards and it is fourth and 10 with 2 minutes left in the game.

The fatter we get the sportier we become.

Oh how I hope Global Warning is real.

Speaking of sports, one of the more amusing things lately has been watching Auburn and the NACAA twist and turn and parse to keep Cam Newton eligible.

Not that I care. He’s a great player and I have long maintained that the players in the NFL’s minor leagues, aka college football, should be paid up front in plain view…. Say about $30K/year each.

I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

Last spring I got into Little League coaching. Not next spring I tell myself. I am tired of listening to parents complain why Junior, who actually would rather be anyplace than in a Little League game, isn’t playing the position they think will place him in line for stardom.

I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather. I hate cold weather.

I wonder if all those people, who say that it is our fault that Assange is destroying our feeble amounts at diplomacy because we failed to protect our secrets, would agree that if they left their car unlocked with their wallets on the dash it is okay if a thief steals it.

I find this video interesting.

Sharia Law

Frightening, isn’t it. I mean the fact that probably 97% of Americans do not know anything about Sharia law and the aim of the extremist Muslims to have it the law of the world.

I hate cold weather.

Oh how I hope global warming is real.

A talking frog??

A guy is 72years old and loves to fish.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say,

'Pick me up.'

He looked around and couldn't see anyone.

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,

'Pick me up.'

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.

The man said, 'Are you talking to me?'

The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you.'

Pick me up then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.

I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!'

The man looked at the frog for a short time,

reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket.

The frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.'

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,

'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

We are asking everyone to say a prayer for "Darkhorse" 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and their families. They are fighting it out in Afghanistan & they have lost 9 marines in 4 days. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE the message spread if more could past it on.
