  All Murderers Are By Definition Catholics

Or is that 'all kiddy fuckers'?

Check the Bible and let me know.

But again, why are all murderers Catholics? Even the Pope shouted "Sieg
Heil" as a child and saluted Hitler.

Then there's the 7,000 Catholic Clergy who can't keep their peckers out of
the bums of the Alter Boys.

How many young men have committed suicide because some Catholic Priest raped
them in the ass?

Personally, I enjoyed it. But I allways give of myself to the Lord.

They gave me a candy.

Satisfying the lust of the clergy is the first priority for any little boy.

Jesus tells us that you can't be a homosexual if you don't ask first, so rape
doesn't make it gay sex.

  High gas tax just fine with the poor

Can't imagine why you've never heard this one, unless you're
just playing stupid. The crowd that favors alternative
transportation methods to the auto often throw this one in
as they see it as a way (they hope) to force people out of
their cars. A high price, no matter who gets any additional
$2 or $3, can have that effect. This crowd is always pointing
to Europe as a model for everyone regarding transportation
policies, and that includes the high price of gasoline.

But when there's a chance to use something like high gas
prices to get on the "I'm defending the poor" soapbox,
they'll be there.

We all know that Arizona is McCain's "home state" and that he represents
Arizona in the US Senate. One would imagine that he has wide spread
support here. Consider my surprise when I read this article:
http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2008/05/19/daily77.html .

"Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not
selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that
there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside
the venue than attending the fundraiser inside."

The convention hall seats just 1200. Tickets were just $1000.00 plus.

"Bush's Arizona fundraising effort for McCain is being moved to private
residences in the Phoenix area."

A "private home". BOY! Ticket sales must really suck if they have to
down size to a private home!

It's not like Phoenix is some backwater. It is the 6th largest city in
the US, and is a GOP stronghold yet they can't sell a thousand tickets
to help raise funds for McCain and to meet a President of the US. When
Bill Clinton was President, I remember the crowds came out to see him by
the tens of thousands at the Sundome in Sun City during the 1996
campaign. They filled the hall and the complete parking lot.

  Cost factors for gasoline

Interesting article at:

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/121160671229210.xml&coll...

Some excerpts:

...How exactly are gas prices set? What determines the hair-pulling
figure you see displayed in large electronic or plastic numbers? Why
is a gallon of gas, say, $4.11 -- not $4.10 or $4.12?

It all starts with oil.

The biggest factor in the skyrocketing price is the historic ascent of
crude oil, which has surged from $45 per barrel in 2004 to more than
$135 this past week....

The rest is a complex mix of factors, from the cost of turning oil
into gas to taxes to marketing costs to, sometimes, nothing more than
the competitive whims of your local gas station owner....

(DH: If there is a Local owner. Oftimes there is not, and the
station is company-owned and leased out.)

...Prices are a function of the open market, the result of futures
contracts being traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange, or Nymex,
and other exchanges....
