President Bush today noted that consumers are expressing concern about the high price of gasoline and has ordered federal investigations into wrong doing and price fixing.
Last Sunday morning on the way to Church, we went through an intersection that had a Mobil station directly across from an Exxon station -- both owned by the same company.
The price of the Exxon gas was 10 cents a gallon higher than Mobil -- how much more proof of price manipulation do you need?
This is sort of like the old lament by the feds that it is hard to prove age discrimination in employment.
How about simply walking into a company, tell them to show you their old people and when they can't produce any -- wella -- there is age discriminatioin.

The federal government says it is powerless to do anything about gasoline prices.
Today it was announced that profits by milk producers were uneven so milk in the grocery store would be going up.
The reason is the feds are applying pressure to the larger companies to share their profits with the smaller companies and equalize everyone's profits.
The feds can force Borden to turn over profits to a smaller dairy but cannot tell Mobil-Exxon to drop its prices.
Right.

Dallas police last night killed a Mexican with a taser gun (that is a stun gun to us uneducated).
His familiy admits he was high on drugs. He was out in public wearing only his BVD's. He was on someone else's front porch. He was brandishing a knife.
Dallas police bilingually ordered him to drop the weapon and he bilingually refused.
They used a taser to stop him and when he later died -- well you guessed it
It is the Dallas police department's fault.

President Bush is the only person responsible for anything -- and he is responsible for everything.
Last night in National Hockey League playoffs, the Dallas Stars were creamed for the second straight game on their home ice.
Their goalie - who has a contract of some $40 million -- was scorched for five goals for the second time in a row.
The first words out of the Stars' coach's mouth?
"We can't blame the goalie."
Hmmm -- maybe Karl Rove caused this too.

The gospel according to Jerry Jones
The Dallas Cowboys have kicked all the homeowners off their property (whether they wanted to be or not) and work has finally begun on the new palace for the NFL team in Arlington.
With the economy falling to pieces the taxpayers in Arlington are going to be responsible for half the construction bill for this altar to Jones' ego.
Jerry's analysis this morning?
It is good for the community.
He didn't say which community -- and it is good for Dallas taxpayers that Arlington taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill.
