Oil Up, Down Down, Bush HurtWhat's the opposite of cowbell? Because this would be that. posted by Ace at 05:00 PM
CommentsGas prices in the south are still fairly ok. I just filled up for about 1.80 gallon. The dow is not something that people really look at. Unless you are invested it doesn't make sense. Even if you are invested it doesn't make sense. The guys on Cavuto say it is not that big of a deal everyone needs to stop whining. They also say that repealing the tax cuts is going to screw the pooch economically. I could be wrong. Posted by: Jennifer on October 22, 2004 05:08 PM
I think people do look at the Dow, and take it to be a proxy for the economy. Which it sort of is. Posted by: ace on October 22, 2004 05:15 PM
Give Bush some cowbells for legislating body armour! here are two lives that were saved!! http://www.thequestingcat.com/blog/archives/00000051.html#comments Just one soldiers opinion that I have seen! I gotta have more cowbell!! Posted by: stuttgartcad on October 22, 2004 05:20 PM
I'd like to get a hold of George Soros' holdings - lol - he bankrupted the largest bank in Englend, but I guess that was currency speculation - lol. Still, O-Dub has got to be involved in this somehow. ;) Posted by: fat kid on October 22, 2004 05:49 PM
Oh yeah, and gas out here in SoCal ranges from 2.50 - 2.80. That's the cheap > expensive range. Owch. Posted by: fat kid on October 22, 2004 05:50 PM
And what do the liberals spend that extra gas tax on? Posted by: Jack on October 22, 2004 09:41 PM
Analysts say that oil prices can take another 10-15% off the Dow, assuming inflation is triggered as oil costs permutate goods and services in the economy. Bad news as well that China wants the oil, and has the booming economy to pay for it and keep prices up since the US has begun de-industrializing. Bad news as well in that the low-carb and outsourcing craze has hit the International Bakers Co. - beloved source of Twinkies, Yodels, Wonder Bread, Ring-Dings and other fine junk food. To survive, 46,000 overpaid American jobs may have to be eliminated and production shifted to Mexico or China - so the wash-outs of the high tech factories in Guandong or Sonora can do something simpler commensurate with their job skills. That will of course free up many more Americans to be forced to improve themselves once they lose their pensions, health care, and jobs at International Bakers. No doubt they will, in the thousands, leave the Twinkie batter vats and get their PhDs in protease molecular folding, invent a carbon strand nanobot they can license to be made in China, and become entrepreneurs selling Pakistani scented candles in their town's 9th scented Pakistani candle shoppe - and soon be fabulously wealthy!! (snicker!) Ford announced to new auto manufacturing lines will be sited in N America without government subsidies. The first Chinese Ford plant, 60 miles outside Beijing, will begin production in 2006. Posted by: Cedarford on October 22, 2004 11:43 PM
The opposite of Cowbell? Probably the kazoo. I can't imagine anyone saying "i got a fever and the only prescription is more kazoo". Posted by: senator philabuster on October 23, 2004 02:24 AM

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?" I posted his post on twitter and it's gotten 25K views so far. Thanks, Smell the Glove Chris
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click That Sums Up the Democrat Communist Party Today

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held. Basil the Great
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing. Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending. (((Dan Hodges))) Nick Lowles
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45 Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%. I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens. REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs. Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
![]() That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
