Means lower prices….

Despite the opposition of the current Administration to more drilling in the US, he’s going to release oil to the market from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

I don’t get it.

More oil equals lower prices for fuels like gas and diesel. But he won’t let new supplies to be created, instead pushing ale, biofuels and ethanol.

While I am all for development of alternative fuels(albeit not pissing development money away by giving it to campaign donors wasting money in foolish boondoggles) until those sources actually work, we are going to be dependent on oil.

The logic of his move with the Strategic Reserve escapes me….unless it is just a campaign stunt. And if more oil in the market is a good thing, then lets get serious about it and develop new sources in our own turf.

Price stabilization is not the intended use of the Strategic Reserve.

If I stole money, (say hundreds of dollars) (or took it without permission) from you, and gave it to all my friends, and was caught, would I likely be charged with a crime?

If I took MILLIONS of dollars and did so, would I likely be jailed?

How about if I did so with BILLIONS? And say I worked for a guy who likely ordered me do the above actions? Should he be jailed as well?

Then think about what Steven Chu has done. And who his boss is.

At best, it is incompetence. At worst, actionable criminal conspiracy to defraud the taxpayers. (I highly lean towards the latter)

Proving how high things go will be difficult, but should be done.

As our esteemed governor of Illinois is currently on his way to prison for the same sort of actions, one wonders how they got the idea…..

And if you haven’t called/written/emailed/Western Unioned the Governors office regarding SB 1, then I urge you to get off the dime. He still, as of this morning, hasn’t signed it. He has until close of business Friday, March 16, 2021.  He has until March 20th to sign it. His telephone number is 317-232-4567. If you’ve already called him once, call again and ask why he hasn’t signed it yet?

Unless, of course, you think that police officers can/should come into your home/property/search your car, etc with no limits….and that you think that you should have no ability to resist said illegal invasion of your home or property.

As for my home and property, the Fourth Amendment still applies. My home is my castle, and I will resist all unlawful entry, no matter who it might be. I sincerely hope that I don’t ever need to find out how the Supreme court of the US will rule if/when I am forced to resist an illegal entry by a police officer.

If you think that the Indiana Supreme court ruled incorrectly, then fix this by urging the governor to fix a judicial fuck-up with legislation. While we shouldn’t need legislation to codify common sense and/or Constitutional rights, but apparently, because of incompetent judges, we do.

Oh, and Gov Daniels: We remember how you legislate. And, while I think you’ve done an adequate job so far, if you oppose this by not signing then I will work hard to prevent your re-election, no matter who your opponent is. IF the rights of your citizens to be secure in their homes isn’t important to you, and if the police wants and needs trumps the rights of the citizens, then you are not fit to be Governor.

SIGN THE BILL, Mitch.

I haven’t eaten anything solid (not permanently) for 3 days now…

An anorexic, anemic kitten could tie me up in knots with one paw.

I haven’t done much at work but go in and wind the clock and let my staff run things like I taught ’em (and they are doing fine, they really don’t need me…)

My ass hurts like I am the New Meat in the cellblock.

I feel as if I may never be able to make noise when I fart again. I could pass a housebrick without straining.

My brother says “norovirus”…. might be right. Or something like it.

Hopefully this will pass soon.

Then I guess Liberal equals scumsucking cheezball whining thieving cheaters who expect others to do the work so that they can sit on their asses and do nothing but whine?

I mean, really, how far can you stretch the truth before your nose grows so long that you can’t hold your head up?

In addition to Pi day, I have been reminded that this is another special day as well.

Ladies, be sure and celebrate it with you man, significant other, or boyfriend (or any combination of the three).

Men, be sure and let your significant other, girlfriend, or main squeeze (or, if you have the balls, two or more of them) know about this special day.

Celebrate diversity!

Have a round or 2.

Rules.

Word.

He won’t help them when their homes have been destroyed….

Since Bush was reviled as hating blacks (and being racist and/or “hating black people”)when he couldn’t get millions of dollars of Federal aid to them in Louisiana and Mississippi fast enough post Katrina, then it must follow that Mr. “we won” Obama must hate white people in downstate Illinois because he has DENIED any federal disaster aid to all those counties which were destroyed by that line of tornadoes last week…

Racist bastard.

Sorry, illness has temporarily disabled the Free Ice Cream machine.

mayhaps tomorrow there will be content.

If my head doesn’t explode.
