Good Morning and welcome to the cool before the heat!
So, the President came out Tuesday night and said BP will have to pay big bucks during and after the gulf oil spill.
Well, whoopdedoo (for lack of a better word). So, BP will write a check and all will be forgotten. Meanwhile, the oil companies will continue to polute our oceans and food then go on and roll in the profits.
Now is the time for somebody (be it government or us) to step up and say, "Enough."
Find a new way now or we are all going to start riding our bikes or taking the train. The more we let these oil companies do what they want, the more of these 'oops' things are going to happen.
Somebody might say, 'Yeah, but BP will never be the same.'
OK, maybe, but what about Exxon. Remember when the Valdez crashed off the coast of Alaska and dumped oil all over the place? Many said they would never by Exxon gas again.
Well, 20 years later it's the biggest oil company in the world.
So, we can't forget and we have to make these companies accountable in ways more than money.
Then again, maybe that's all there is.

RISE AND SHINE
GOOD MORNING, DELAWARE COUNTY!
Since John McCain is probably checking in this morning, a word from the wise: when at Springfield Country Club, stay away from the chicken! Don't say I didn't warn you.
Well, enough politics, there's more important things going on.
For instance, remember when you could pull into a gas station, pay 10 bucks and fill the tank.
Now, I put 10 into the minivan and it barely gets me to the next gas station.
Yeah, Yeah, prices are out of whack all over the place, but gas prices are especially so.
Look, those big companies are going to make money whether the price is $3.50 a gallon or $2.50 a gallon.
After taking a ride through Lancaster last weekend, I came to the realization the Amish have it right. Forget the gas-guzzler in the driveway, get a horse and buggy.
Not only would it be better on the pocket book and the environment, but the horse will be a big hit with the children.
Every child at some point or another asks their parents for a pony. Now, there can be one pulling you to the Giant to pick up milk.
You know what, if we all did that, Exxon/Mobil would find a way to corner the market on hay and jack the price up accordingly.
Still, it would be interesting:
