    A gas tax is not a new idea. You know how I feel about taxes of course and I would like to admit that this idea isn't the worst one ever, but there are too many problems with it.

    For one it is TOO little TOO late. For two it is a tax! Hah!

    Seriously this article deserves a comment/dissection longer than I have the time for. His beginning argument is somewhat sound but then he sticks his foot in his mouth big time with all this shit: "Our message to the region has been very consistent: “Guys (it was only guys we spoke with), here’s the deal. Keep your pumps open, your oil prices low, don’t bother the Israelis too much and, as far as we’re concerned, you can do whatever you want out back. You can deprive your people of whatever civil rights you like. You can engage in however much corruption you like. You can preach whatever intolerance from your mosques that you like. You can print whatever conspiracy theories about us in your newspapers that you like. You can keep your women as illiterate as you like. You can create whatever vast welfare-state economies, without any innovative capacity, that you like. You can undereducate your youth as much as you like. Just keep your pumps open, your oil prices low, don’t hassle the Jews too much — and you can do whatever you want out back.”

    Come on Friedman get off your fucking soapbox, of course the USA isn't guilty of any of the above!

    Oh and this line takes the cake: "Yes, it will mean higher gas prices, but prices are going up anyway, folks. Let’s capture some it for ourselves."

    There it is folks. He unwittingly wrote the mantra for all our greed and excess and probably doesn't even know it.

    Out, maybe more later. Write something comprehensible in reply Boogers, no garbled bullshit!

    “Keep your pumps open, your oil prices low,”

    Definitely my least favorite part of the article, but there's blood on our hands for sure. We love to play Top Cop all over the globe, but the Middle East has gotten nothing but our blind eye. I've never lived in the Middle East, but I've heard enough stories to know it's decades behind the rest of us.

    I didn't post this to herald Friedman's suggestion for fixing the problem, simply to agree it's high time we get the hell off of oil. Here's a shocker, I agree with the tax. I want to buy that tax a cheap dinner and then screw it without a rubber. It's all good though, we'll probably have a fuel ration imposed sooner than later, cause WWIII just started.

    Wow. That video of Iraqis doing push ups brought this amazing series of videos to my attention. We might have a future Friday Hottie on our hands...

    Oh god three links, here we go, gotta wade thru some shit and get to the other side. But before I do, I have a confession to make.

    I would be fine with a gas tax and here is why: You can opt out. If you don't want to pay the tax, simply don't buy gas. Now some people will argue you need to buy gas to fill your tank to get to work blah blah blah, but that argument is bullshit. For one, there are other ways to get to work: walk, bike like Boogers, or fucking crawl. Or get a crib closer to your job. Or a job closer to your crib. Anyway I would be find with a gas tax because in essence it is (making up an economic term) a consumption tax. You consume, you pay. See I am fine with that. Whew that wasn't easy. Hope Head is listening to this, where the fuck is everyone?????

    The real major problem that follows the gas tax, as it were, is our elected representatives would have to spend it wisely, which we know won't happen, so in my eyes it is a no go on the tax. It is something we should have done a long time ago and even if we did it The DC Beltway Mafia crowd would just spend it on another illegal war.

    And that was the short answer. Now the links.........

    You sleeping Boogers??? WAKE THE FUCK UP MAN!!!! WW3 is on, or so I hear. Shit on y'all, where is everyone the Den was alive for a day or two and now Jackals be snoozing..........

    Yeah we are TOP COP, you got that right. The story about the stoning sucks but it is BAU for Islam and irrelevant to me. This whole thing started with a discussion about a "gas tax" and should be focused on crude oil and our addiction to it. Religion is a whole 'nother can of worms. The oil machine that is The USA and the entire industrial world is what Friedman is addressing. He too made the mistake of dragging religion into it, which is an easy mistake to make.

    You had me scared with the WW3 shit, but false alarm. It is just Israel and Palestine. When Iran or someone else jumps in then you might have something. You cried wolf Boogers, but props to you nonetheless.

    This whole thing is not about a gas tax. That's where your tax hatred leads you astray. It's about severing ties with oil-supplying nations.

    SS was at a Terps victory last night and didn't even post about that.

    Let me catch my breath while I hunt them clones...

    I see where you are coming from and I agree. It is about a gas tax in one sense, but in a larger sense it is about our addiction to oil.

    But we are not about to sever ties with our oil sugar daddies, so don't hold your breathe about that. Why doesn't Friedman just jump the gun and write an op-ed piece arguing for "world peace" if that is what this is all about?
