Levin is perhaps the best educated of all of the talkers, but as if his normal voice weren't irritating enough, when he starts yelling into the microphone it's too much. However, come to think of it, I would rather listen to Levin's irritating but intelligent voice then Glenn Beck's buttery voice and stupid/outthere brain.Quote:

Some of the critters got through the fence today and the stay at home vagetarian called me and offered to put them in, she got them all in except the male sheep, I think Ramalamb got nervous about the way she was looking at his ding dong.Quote:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California gas prices continued surging Friday, adding another 17 cents per gallon on average, and the increases are expected to continue for at least several more days, ensuring long lines and short tempers at pumps around the state.
A week of soaring costs has led some stations to close and others to charge record prices — in some places $5 or more — as California leapfrogged Hawaii as the state with the most expensive fuel. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded across California was nearly $4.49 on Friday, 32 cents more than a week ago and the highest statewide average in the nation, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report.
And then there's the picture that accompanies the story:

You were saying?
I picked a cross section of California and the continental US including two of the most expensive places to live :San Francisco and New York City. I included Oklahoma because Rock lives there, Florida because I live there, Nashville because Adam Wood lives there and Biloxi because it had the lowest gasoline prices when I drove West last July.Quote:

There was no effort or effect on my part to deceive, so fuck off.
That photo was taken at Low P at 24025 Calabassas Road. I have no idea what their excuse for that price was, perhaps that they are near Malibu, but as of 8 minutes ago their price was $4.99/gal.Quote:

That the photo and the story was posted on yahoo News 11 hours prior to when I posted it here.Quote:

And I was saying that Levin was right and you were wrong...you said it yourself with what you posted above.
Congrats...you flamed yourself...again.
No, Levin was not right. TO declare that gas prices in California are pushing $6 per gallon suggests that the average price of gasoline in California was near $6. It was not. A cross section of the state showed that the prices were closer to $4.50.Quote:

Gas is going up Nova, you can deny it all you want but the reality exists. As long as Democrats remain in power there is no end in site.Quote:
