By the way, no change here in the past few days, however prices are up about 40 cents a gallon since their low about 2 months ago.

Good will gestures aimed at todays Republicans is like handing over the loot to an armed thief who doesn't believe in leaving any living witnesses behind. "Gratitude" is not exactly what you get from them for it.

As I tell others as a gay man, "I may not always know who my friends really are, but my enemies and adversaries alway self-identify thru word and action".
