Does Cuba hold the keys to ending the war in Iraq?

Share

Share

Gasoline prices hit a new record high Tuesday with the National Average now standing at $3.08 a gallon. The primary reason cited for the rise in gas prices is the high number of oil refineries “Closed for maintenance” (which turn oil into gasoline) just prior to the “Summer driving season”.

The RNC Debates Show Next President Will Be a Democrat.
Debate marred by fumbles, foibles and defensiveness.

Share

NOTE: Register to post comments and receive e-mail notification every time this Blog is updated! No doubt about it.

What If It Happened Every Day? Think: Iraq.

Share

Just a brief observation regarding today’s school shooting at Virginia Tech: Imagine this happening EVERY DAY. Imagine for a moment something like this happening EVERY SINGLE DAY in this country. Imagine 20… 30… 50 people killed every single day for years. That might give you the *tiniest* taste of what it must be like living […]
