1 - My statement was only about Bush. Cheney is Bush's VP. He says a lot of things for the administration. Besides, Bush has dyslogia....public speaking is hard for him. Why do you bother to make the distinction? 2 - Even Cheny didn't say that Iraqi weapons where going to be used to blow up American cities in the next few months. Stupid is as stupid does! He didn't say they would be used against American cities. He didn't say they would be able to blow up cities, he didn't say they would be used in a matter of months, and he didn't even say they would be used but rather that they where being ammassed to use. That might be considered to imply that they will be used against our friends our allies our us, but it certainly doesn't imply that the Iraqi weapons where going to be used to blow up American cities in the next few months. Sorry Tim, but you have some kind of comprehension problem, or you have a very dark character. I can't continue to discuss these things with you if it gets to the point where if its not said exactly the way you think it should be said, then it must be negated or ignored. Bottom line: Bush and Cheney lied to the American people. You need to accept it. They may lose the election over this issue. ted

Local gas(p) prices up 14 cents in the past month It'll get worse if California siphons from us this summer By CANDACE HECKMAN SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER Climbing prices for gasoline across the region might be here to stay, particularly as warm weather approaches and a slow but steady economic recovery increases the demand for driving, say energy analysts. But worse, consumer advocates fear that another energy crisis they see developing in California this summer will have that state's residents thirsting for gas -- and looking to the neighbors to share supplies. According to AAA daily data reports, the average price for regular unleaded gasoline in Seattle has increased 14 cents from a month ago, but has yet to hit last year's March 12 average of $1.89. The highest recorded price was last year on Sept. 4, when the average was $1.97. And local prices are nowhere near California's, where a gallon of regular unleaded is going for more than $2 in most places. California drivers have been bracing for a supply pinch since Royal Dutch/Shell Group announced plans to close its Bakersfield refinery, one of its largest, in September. The Bakersfield refinery was built atop an oil field that is drying up. Importing oil to the facility would not be economically feasible, said Shell spokesman Cameron Smyth. seattlepi.nwsource.com
