Challenger…. Finally A Coupe!
Just took a peek at the ALLPAR site for the view of the Challenger. Just gorgeous. DCX will be surprised by the interest that this vehicle generates. If they option it correctly, so that you can build it the way you want it, it will sell big.
Notice that our great big bloated government called in the heavy hitters from the oil industry and put on this huge political show for the benefit of ……… who? Didn’t accomplish a thing. I see no new legislation…. well, a proposal for increased TAXES of course on the windfall profits. That will only be passed on to you and I, Naturally. Big Oil ain’t gonna pay it. Thanks Congress. Business as usual. So the Congressional Committee asked some tough questions, and the Big Oil reps gave some tough answers. The total result? Just a show. We will experience another cycle whenever they feel like it, or a seller has a flatuence and the cost of a barrel of crude goes up.
I really have to wonder, however, when some of the domestic Oil companies, loudly proclaiming that they don’t import any oil, end up raising their prices right along with every one else. I didn’t think the cost for domestic oil went up all that much, just the imported stuff. I am probably just uninformed.
Noticed that Dr. Dave mentioned some things about the proposed Changes to the Patriot Act. I gotta tell ya, that whole thing gives me great concern and yes, fears. It is an open invitation to suspension of our already well absued civil rights and freedoms. We don’t any more government intrusion. Heavens knows that we got more than enough government looking and snooping and legislating us to protect us from ourselves. How did we survive without this bloated, lop sided, ill responding, beauracratic, money sucking, form of what we think is self government today?
Representative Murtha from Pennsylvania stuck his neck out by declaring that further military operations in Iraq are useless. We cannot accomplish a military end to this conflict. I think he deserves a lot of respect. A 37 year military veteran, retiring a Colonel in the US Marines. You don’t get that sort of opinion from a man like him unless it is well thought out, measured and more importantly, right to the point. There is no way to win a war with people that will not surrender, keep on killing you with impunity, as well as being zealots to their belief system. Time to let the politicians and the Iraq people get on with it themselves. Our brave young people do not need to be targets of opportunity for those people who will want to kill us and destroy our way of life no matter what we do. Further, you can not kill them all, no matter how hard you might try. This country doesn’t have the guts to do that anyway. In my opinion, that would be the ONLY way to end this war, when they are all dead……. obviously, that won’t ever happen. The biggest contributors, as in like where the money comes from, is killing us with our own money when we buy oil from Saudi Arabia. I don’t see our troops in that country in a combat situation. We probably should be! Bring our kids home!
I hope and trust all will enjoy a great Thanksgiving holiday. See you all after that.
