This to see how many "ignores" will be added - .

Fiction - "President Bush's advice to gas users"

Speaking from his Texas ranch today, President Bush had this advice for consumers pinched at the gas pumps:

"Here are some simple things to do. First, pay only $10 everytime you need gas. That way, no matter how high prices go, you will only have to spend $10. Another trick is to fill up your tank, and then keep it 3/4 full all the time. That way, you only have to buy a 1/4 tank each time you visit the gas station."

The President's remarks were seconded by Vice President Dick Cheney:

"A good strategy would be to apply for another credit card and use that for gasoline exclusively."

environmentalists come away clean. they haven't let a refinery be built or improved on in decades. they cut drilling of atlantic, pacific coast and around gulf off florida from energy bill.

When are these people going to wake up and realize who is in their pockets. large deposits of natural gas sitting off carolina coast and the folks in new england and mid west will pay through the nose to heat their homes. thank the environmental lobby. drilling off the coasts was in energy bill but it got pulled.

Well, people will just have to get more money from the ATM. They expected their house to inflate and nothing else?
