I was in Europe several years ago and I was impressed with the various languages that the population could speak. I met a Polish girl in England. She taught herself English by watching American movies.<BR/>We can’t drill ourselves out of the problem – but it has to be part of the overall plan to get away from imported oil. There is just too much to convert in the short term (10 to 15 years).<BR/><BR/>I do like Carnival City in today’s 5th.

To me, the idea of us being able to drill our way out of the present crisis is akin to trying to deal with the Islamic fundamentalist issue by killing every terrorist on earth. It will take fundamental changes and a long term view which I believe Obama at least has a clue about, instead of wasting time and breath over a gas tax holiday that won't accomplish a thing other than depriving us of badly needed funds for highway infrastructure.<BR/><BR/>And I suspected I'd hear from the KISS guy for picking a recent maiden graduate against winners.

Really turned on the jets thereafter and was cutting into that one's margin with every stride. Comes into this race with the same pattern as last time, a nearly identical five-furlong drill 6 days before the race. Same rider (Tyler Baze) back aboard today, so i think he'll be a little more cognizant of getting some running room into the lane this time. Think he can turn the tables here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
