The media seems to think we’ve missed something, as they keep yapping about how expensive the gas is. Do they think we haven’t noticed? Talking about it doesn’t make it any cheaper anyway. Just remember that it can always be worse. My father, who lives in the Netherlands, pays (we did the math) $8.79 per gallon. I don’t know about you, but all I have to do is think of that number, and I’ll whistle while I pump. 156,463 homes have so far been foreclosed in 2008, so I’d say that the price of gas is probably not the biggest problem right now.

Many people are wondering why Rev. Wright doesn’t keep his mouth shut. He has decided to finally speak out, and he doesn’t know when to stop. Why is that? Oh, that’s right; Free Speech.
