That fakey posh accent just makes Varney sound like a public school twit. I wanna read his pre-FOX C.V.

The best way to stop those chain emails- write a snarky and thoroughly documented reply and hit 'reply all'. None of those geriatric AOL users has the slightest idea what BCC is or how to delete the email history from the header, so every single one of those idjits will get your reply. At the bottom of your response explain to them how you were able to get every one of their email addresses and point out the likely fact that the person who started the chain probably doesn't care about this issue one way or the other, but simply wanted to harvest several thousand email addresses from people too stupid to protect their privacy. Tell them to enjoy the torrent of penis enhancement and CheAp CaNadian MeDs! spam they're about to receive and wish them well. They'll still continue to believe the bullshit and they'll still forward that crap, but they'll be too humiliated to include you next time.

It's a good thing no one ever accused them (with a straight face) of consistency.

Once upon a time, Dick Cheney said "deficits don't matter" right into all the FOX watcher's faces. They didn't even blink. They agreed, because nobody told the FOX watchers anything.

Then when a colored fellow became President, all the FOX watchers were told "THE DEFICIT IS THE WORST THING EVER, FIX IT NOW!!!!" all the FOX watchers forwarded emails everywhere and shat all over Facebook saying "DEFICET IS TOO BIG! OBAMA KILLS UR CHILDREN!"

Then, when some people said "we know how to solve the deficit problem, raise taxes on the people that wouldn't even notice!" But the FOX watchers were told by people who liked their piles of money to be just the right height, that "TAXES ARE DEATH SLAVERY HITLER CLASS WAR BAD STUFF" and taxes couldn't be raised because of all the howling and hurling of feces.

But when FOX watchers are told that low gas prices might harm the economy, that's different from when they were told that high gas prices were harming the economy. Because FOX watchers are just being asked a question, rather than being told "IT IS OBAMA'S FAULT ECONOMY SUCKS."

Which is probably scheduled for later this week, where it can have maximum effect on an election where one side is only running against the current President, who isn't even running, and will term out, instead of presenting any policies or new ideas to solve any problems.

AND EVERYONE "LIVED" "HAPPILY" "EVER AFTER" BECAUSE THEY SHAT AND SHRIEKED AND VOTED JUST AS THE FOX WATCHERS WERE TOLD, AND ELECTED REPUBLICANS.

THE. END.

We are importing oil from Nigeria, it must be contaminated with Ebola. Expect to find cases in Houston refinery workers any day now.

It's getting close in Missouri, 2.66 at the gas station across the road from my work.

I'm OK with that. But the $4.00 should be indexed to inflation. Plus, a surtax to pay for war. If non-military families also had to sacrifice too, politicians wouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger.

This is the same market that looooves them some high unemployment, because keeping the proles fighting for jobs lowers pay/benefits.

that's when you say "dad, you should be proud to have raised a daughter that believes in telling the truth, no matter how unpopular it may be"

That whole guilt thingy works both ways

Cheap gas is killing us, and it's all Obama's fault. So is expensive gas, by the way ...

Weren't these the same brain-damaged rage monkeys that were howling not so long ago about how high gas prices were hurting honest, hard-workin', truck-drivin' Americans and that it was all Obama's fault?
