Holy hell. I got up and the only news on that wasn't a "news program" was on the Faux News Channel. So I sat here surfing the online news while I listened to the blathering and clearly Romney supported programming and news that they were spewing.

It eventually made me so pissed off that I went to the sitting POTUS's fundraising page and made an online donation. (After changing the channel to a showing of Pirates of The Caribbean).

How do repugnicans think their sour grapes and racist agenda are being perceived? Are they really that stupid as to actually believe the BS they're spewing?  :mad: :mad: :mad:

   I felt just like you.  Especially after Savage the crazy radio talk show host tried to blame Roberts decision on the seizures that Roberts had years ago. 

  I went to the Obama's donor page and donated $100 to Obama.  I am going to donate some more later.  It's better to give some of my money to Obama than lose it all to another republican debacle.  The Golden Mitten is running to give us another George W. 4 years.  I lost my shirt on that one.  We can't afford another brain dead Golden stick man running this country.  :angry:

I had a funny thought about the Supreme Court. What if they all got together (as perhaps they have in the  past ) :sneaky: to decide who was going to be the tie breaker this time, and Roberts said, me, me! It's my turn. I really need it. I do not want to go down in history as trying to bring down our first black president.

GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan said motorists could see prices spike in the next 48 hours or so. That could be anywhere from 20 to 40 cents a gallon.

Now there's a fuggin surprise!  :rolleyes: :rant: :rant: :rant:

  Just one question.   :confused: :doh:  Why should gas prices go up and down once or twice a day.  Have a 30 cents difference between stations in a 40 mile area if all of the gas for that area comes in from the same pipe line.  I just don't have the slightest idea.   :rolleyes:  :doh:  :doh:

Guess I'd better fill my tank on the way home tonight.  I paid $3.07 last Friday and if the price holds until 5:00, I'll be paying $2.99 tonight.  Woo-hoo!  Under $3.00!

Nope, Ricker's on the northwest side of Indy.  They have a gas card that you can link to your checking account and get a $.10 per gallon discount on gas.  Makes perfect sense...they deduct the money directly from your accout via a NACHA transaction (direct debit) and they don't have to pay the Mastercard/Visa/Amex % charge...everyone wins!  I did, indeed, buy gas for under $3.00 yesterday, btw.

I agree with you Troll, Gas in Greenfield (by I70) today was $3.13...at a shell station in town, was $3.47.  THAT is what amazes me.  How there can be such a differential of pricing in a few miles and a matter of time.

The dirty little secret that no one wants to face is that individual owners are in the gouging business, too.

They like to shove the blame upstairs all the time, claiming they are at the mercy of some faceless corporate entity.

Truth is, they will gouge as much as they can locally, especially in small towns where they either have no competition or fix prices with what little competition they have.

I have no mercy for such as they.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

Oh, yeah...the only reason Rickers is selling gas at that price is that they have a lot of competition within a couple of miles of that particular station including both Sam's and Costco.

  I will say traveling to Noblesville four times a week, gas is cheater most of the time at Ricker's outside of Lapel with their gas card.  Why not save money and screw the credit card companies.  :yeah:   :yes:
