The Draft, Gas Prices, and the Iraqi War...THE PERFECT STORM!

The first two are sure to wake up the sleeping Americans who have snoozed through Juniors first 3.5 years. On one hand old Dad is cussing at the gas pump for having to pay 3 bucks a gallon and on the other hand he's going to be cussing his Government for drafting his precious child to be sent over to a War that cannot be won! Yes folks, the storm is forming and the eye should hit right around the end of October.

BTW: During major storms hundreds of little tornado's touch down and do considerable damage.. We'll call that the Deficit, Health care, Environment, and of course, the job Dad just lost to a guy in India.

3. Two thoughts:

1) Even if this does damage Bush, it's nothing to celebrate.
2) Unfortunately, a lot of idiots in this country STILL aren't paying attention or simply don't care because they either A) hate everyone not like themselves or B) are theocrats and think Bush is donig a fabulous job turning us into a religious state (just like the Taliban did).

4. We can't count on gas prices.

The Saudis will hold up their end of the deal and flood the market come September/October to help get their boy re-elected.

5. Will the first born be sacrificed for war or gas?

Saw this picture this morning and thought it was humerous.

8. That's funny

The draft is closer by the day..I read that they are already telling the Inactive Reserves by the IRS and telling them they're back in... That sucks..

And if the Saudi's lower prices in Sept do you rellly think they'll drop that fast.?..
