See You September

I just saw an item on the news about how gas prices -- for the cheapest grade, mind you -- have finally dipped below $4 per gallon.
Let me be so bold as to make a prediction: Come Labor Day weekend, followed by the back-to-school crush, these prices will mystically rise to near-record heights again.
It's all like a game of ping-pong -- and we're the ball.

I agree that there is a conspiracy against us but who are the ones conspiring?

But of course the price will rise because our homes will need to be heated and schools will have the big Yellows on the road. When exactly do your Oil Companies decide to fill your tank - not when the prices are low! You can get a contract -- now what was that price?? What a game. This year we are fearful that our tank will need to be filled more than 4 times, as it did last year. Considering our home is a post WW11 home, you know it is small, but every effort has been taken to insure it is well insulated. I hope it helps because families with an income of $30,000 or less can not stand another winter with the BIG OILS controlling our country.

I not only feel like a ping pong ball, I keep on hitting the net. I keep trying to stay within the lines, but I keep getting back-handed. I keep getting slammed. I swear, I'm getting ready to CRACK! If John McCain wins, can he drill at my house?

Since Stan doesn't allow any comments against Risa and her crowd, I'm just wondering if you can check to see why a two time crack cocaine felon, Danielle Cattie, keeps having her sentencing date delayed when she finally pleaded guilty to drugs and child endangerment charges. The people of Ambler, who know her very well as being one flying under the radar, saw her on tv in December 2007 being escorted to her court hearing by the biggest crack cocaine dealer in Ambler, nicknamed Fonzy. And, he laughed about it later, when others told him that they saw him. Does her delay in sentencing have to do with her being white? Ambler thinks so and they are waiting for justice to be served on her, too. And by the way, her brother, Matthew Delconte, is a jailbird having served time and then was recently jailed and released from mccf for parole violation. So, they aren't so innocent as the media portrays them. http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CPReport.aspx?matterID=16903776
