It seems like things are getting real bad out there in the good old US of A. Because the OPEC gods haven’t been smiling on America of late, some upstanding citizens are turning to the real deal for lower gasoline prices.
A few people gathered in a gas station in St. Louis recently to pray to God for lower gas prices. Are cartoons allowed?
Saw this on CNN today:

Almost all the Bay Area counties are featured: Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. Yet the one place in California most known for its body-image consciousness - Los Angeles - is prominently absent. What gives?
Followed this link to an article by Richard Muller on Popular Mechanics.
Read about this in the WSJ today… in an op-ed expressing the need to educate the general public (i.e., us) about how safe nuclear reactors (the power generating ones) are. The video is pretty awesome:
Maureen Dowd writes in an Op-Ed in the New York Times that Obama and his messianic followers need to lighten up and have a sense of humor about things. The recent furor, as I am sure you have heard, is about the cover cartoon of the latest issue of New Yorker magazine that depicts our man as an Osama look alike and Michelle Obama as an AK-47 wielding terrorist. Even John McCain was forced to decry the cartoon in the name of political civility.
I really hope that we don’t end up having an unfunny president as Dowd fears. We need to keep feeding the genius of the likes of Letterman, Leno, and Stewart and who better to feed them than our leaders? We can only take so much of the Brits and the Lindseys. The nation is depressed as it is. We need more humor to survive through these tough times in the economy and not complain over mere cartoons. What are we, turning into The Netherlands or something? (No offense, reneejo.)
