$5 Gas. What in the hell?! May 7, 2008

 

 

According to a surveyed 20,000, the people were asked:

 

Do you think gas prices in your area will reach $5 by year’s end?

 

53% said YES

35% said NO

12% said I DON’T KNOW

 

*As of Monday, the national average for gas was $3.61

 

As if the prices for gas weren’t high enough, it has been speculated that by summer‘s end, gas prices within your area will raise to an all time high of $5.00! What in the hell?! Adding fuel to the fire, or more hardship to the already demanding financial situations within many homes, the rate at which gas prices are raising has really forced the idea of downgrading to biking.

 

However, with the prices rising, the demand for gas has seemingly lowered. I mean…one minute we’re forced to worry about job security and next we’re forced to worry about how to get to that job without spending almost $100 for half a tank of gas. What in the hell?!

 

 

I can only help but wonder…are we headed toward regression?

 

It is believed that the government has made the decision of raising gas prices in hopes of erasing any financial debts that the United States may have.

 

I say…YEAH RIGHT!

 

But hey…let’s look at the bright side…although $5.00 seems a bit rigid, it beats the hell out of gas prices in Sierra Leone for $18.42 per gallon!

Woman arrested after 32 years. So…where’s Osama? May 1, 2008

 

After being snitched on by an anonymous caller, Marie Walsh, formally known as Susan LeFevre, was arrested by federal marshals from her home in Carmel Valley, a posh neighborhood in San Diego, after 32 very long years on Lam. According to officials, LeFevre, a former drug dealer, walked out in 1976 after serving only one year of the 10 to 20 year drug charge appointed to her.

 

LeFevre is now married with 3 children and claims that her family had no previous knowledge of her past life. Her husband states that, “police officials should find shame in interrupting not only the life of a gentle and protecting woman but the relationship of her family for something that happened when she was merely 19 years old”.

 

Arrested on April 24, 2008, LeFevre currently awaits extradition back to Michigan while being held in custody.

 

So, I wonder, is this a case of “new name, new family, old habits” or is the government simply bored and needed something to do? And for that matter, I can’t seem to understand how they managed to find this woman after 32 long years under an entirely different identity, but can’t find Osama! Am I the only person who finds something wrong with this?

 

And…should she have to serve the remainder of her previous sentence?

 

What do you think?
