Bush refuses Gas Tax, that is the headline on major News Networks: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20196442/

They are blaming Bush for not doing enough for repairs of our National Bridges while if you read the story complete you come to know that the new gas tax is going to generate only about 2billion per year for each state, while each state already is getting 28.5billion for the next 7 years to repair all its roads and bridges?

Why the democrats want another tax? when they already have money under the National Highway Renewal Plan which was approved and signed in 2005?

As a tax payer I feel it's time to send the criminals who we feed and provide a roof over their head, over to the war torn countries such as Iraq.....Why not have these criminals fight for their Freedom instead of the Taxpayers paying for their crimes...How do you all feel?

They tried to name their son 4Real, but when that got rejected they decided on "Superman". What do you guys think of these names?

We all take these things light of. But they are getting scarce and so high priced. I really did appreciate them all and hope they will stay around a long time. I think about my home its cool in the summer and warm in the winter, water to drink and gas in my auto. Do any of you think we might be taking these things for granted in thinking "they will always be here, what's the use in worrying? additude? Let me hear your thoughts.

I think yes. They are killing our pets, poisoning our food, and putting lead paint in our children's toys. We had media pundits boycotting France because they disagreed on Iraq --- China is doing much worse.

It`s been almost 11 years, she`d be 17 this August, do you folks think Boulder Police Department are any closer to finding her killer??

and instead wait for the police to do there jobs?

In most countries we are presumed innocent untill proven guilty, but for some reason alot of people find it amusing to subject this family - who dont forget have already lost a child - to accusations which have no foundations. What really annoys me the most are that these accusers hide behind a pseudonym on the net, do not allow emails and generally feel above it all.

Yahoo News and CNN were talking about the Youtube video featuring a baby Water buffalo being attacked by Lions and then Crocodiles. And yet they all list the attack from Lions and Alligators. Are they that stupid to believe that Alligators live in Africa? The film was shot in Kruger National Park in South Africa. There are no alligators there...
Don't these people check their sources?

The pick-up does sound louder, but I don't drive very much, maybe about 6 miles a day, just to work and back. Now, I need to go out of town, I'll be on the highway for about 2 and a half hours, round trip. Will it be OK? Or do I need to have it fixed before I go? I just hate spending money on an old pick-up. Thanks!

Well... It seems that MOST of the Arabs are unhappy with their situation (including me)... their land is being destroyed, they have no voice in the world, they are getting bombed and sanctioned in their homelands, and when they flee to western countries, they are treated like crap and told that they should go back to their homelands, where there is nothing left.

But yet, its ironic to see how the west keeps telling us that everything is fine and dandy and that we should stop "complaining." Give me reasons why we shouldn't be unhappy?

AND NONE OF THAT MISGUIDED STEREOTYPING THAT WE ARE RICH OIL TYCOONS, BECAUSE MOST OF US ARE NOT!

Since this case has busted itself wide open over the last couple of days, Gerry has stopped writing in his blog (today is the first day he's missed in the blog since it started), he apparently has pulled the twins out of the playgroup, and their world tour of Portugal planned for Madeleines 100th has been canned, as has co-incidentally Justine McGuinness.

Its almost as though it was the last stop on the tube and the driver has announced 'All change please. All change.'


Its all kicking off people ..... that must mean the truth can't be far away ......
