As one who graduated from Cal Journalism, I commend you for your efforts. You stuck it out - I didn't.
You truly are a beacon in a maelstrom, showing the way up and out!
Btw, I love the head gear. Mine was a full indian headress. But then, I didn't travel incognito!

Obama stopped drilling in the gulf, and seems intent upon purchasing oil from others, to the detriment of both our economy and our country's health. WHY? Would this not be a way of increasing our Nation's monetary supply by not having to pay other nations for this product? Furthermore, would this not provide this country with additional JOBS which everyone it seems realizes we need?????? Where are the jobs, Omumba?

And as for you, Dingy, That last set-to where you were forced to filibuster YOUR OWN BILL - was that because of your age caused lack of ability to think for yourself, or have you come to the point where you are now percieved by all to be the ineffective leader that we in the republican party knew you were? Time to go harry - retirement and gambling in vegas are just what you need now! Go for it!
