So crude is flirting (or rather making out) with $140 per barrel, my Health Savings Account deductible is up to $2,500 for an individual ($5,000 for a family), and whenever I leave Canada, it is with less American money than I am used to (and that has nothing to do with the casinos). It will be interesting to see how our next President deals with this mess. I can't help but think our next leader will be nothing more than a scapegoat for the next 4 years. An opportunist would probably argue this is a wonderful time to run for office, but I am running for my underground-end-of-the-world bunker. So what, if any, solutions are out there? How about the Geo Metros (remember those?) is a 50 mpg car? That's better than the
Prius (and less expensive) and you can buy one for $1,000 to $1,500 or so on
Ebay. Unfortunately, I do not fit in either car, so it's back to the 10-speed.
I need a cocktail:
Aviation- 1 1/4 oz gin
- 1/2 to 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 oz maraschino (NOT THE CHERRY JUICE!!!) liqueur*
- Shake with ice and strain into a stemmed cocktail glass. Lemon Twist
- Enjoy
* This can be tough to be find. There are 2 Italian versions, Luxuardo and Stock. If your local state store does not have it/can't get it, email Preiss Imports at website@preissimports.com. There is a Croatian version, Maraska, carried by SendLiquor.com

want to fix the country a couple ideas.... 1)goverment contracts go only to companies headquartered in the usa. 2)Pour some serious bank into contraceptive research. Refine a safe shot that prevents conception for 1-2 years. Welfare recipients and ex-cons on probation get the shot. If you can't support a child, you shouldn't have one. 3) Capital gains on stocks and bonds should be taxed the same as any other income. can you tell i'm not rich, not poor and don't work for Halliburton?
