"It is not the consumers’ fault," said Sen. Richard Durbin (D) of Illinois, the deputy Democratic leader. "It is the fault of leadership: the leadership of the oil companies and the fault of an administration that comes from the oil patch and is afraid to confront their old friends when it comes to these rising prices at the gas tank."

Best Terrorist Plot
Osama bin Laden Poisons the Cocaine Supply
Earlier this summer, when the New York Post broke the story of this failed terrorist plot, we thought it was a joke: Osama bin Laden attempts to buy a load of cocaine from Colombian drug lords, with the intention of lacing it with poison and selling it on the U.S. market. Cokeheads drop dead by the thousands, sparking a nationwide wave of terror.
It’s an inspired idea.
When we imagine hoards of coked-up investment bankers, entertainment industry flacks, supermodels, frat boys, media personalities and gossip columnists dropping like flies, eyes bulging, limbs twitching and mandibles grinding their last, "terror" is not exactly the word that springs to mind. We’re thinking something more along the lines of "Well, how about that," or maybe just "Yay."
If an evil terrorist mastermind wants to wipe out a major component of America’s asshole population, we say Allah to you, sir!
According to the Post article, bin Laden’s diabolical scheme was foiled when the Colombian cartel turned him down, fearing he’d cripple its dependable U.S. trade.
We only hope that an undaunted bin Laden is now working on a set of custom ringtones that render cellphone users sterile.cording to the Post article, bin Laden’s diabolical scheme was foiled when the Colombian cartel turned him down, fearing he’d cripple its dependable U.S. trade.

NAU student runs for Mayor… without a clue
Paul Reilly is an NAU Journalism student (yeah, what the hell do those kids know?) who is running for Mayor of Flagstaff against the homegrown, friendly incumbent Joe Donaldson. I’ve interviewed Mayor Joe before and I found his presence welcoming. His views are pretty much on par with realistic goals for our city. He has his faults, but he did own a Safeway in town up until retirement and he raised his family here. Whereas Mr. Reilly, who recently graced the cover of Flagstaff Live!, is a young sapling who not surprisingly has liberal visions grounded in unrealistic means. Tim and I have discussed the pure stupidity of some of Mr. Reilly’s statements, one of which the Daily Sun blew wide open in this morning’s paper…
"The only opposition for the land trust — whether city or community managed — was from mayoral candidate Paul Reilly, a sophomore at Northern Arizona University, who said the land trust is too slow to create. Instead, he proposed his own ideas for workforce housing.
"This is a very time-consuming process," he said. "I think my plans are much easier and much faster."
But some of them aren’t within the realm of legal possibility, according to Arizona statute.
For example, Reilly has proposed doubling the tax on second and vacation homes in Flagstaff, and using the revenue to create incentives for homeowners to build "granny cabins," which in turn can be used as rental property to supplement the mortgage. While it might be a feasible plan in other states, Arizona law prohibits communities from taxing second homes at a different rate, so long as they’re not being rented.
Donaldson pointed out, "State statutes do not allow us to be as creative as we possibly can.""
