From AP news:
France-
A savage assault this week on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers.
Attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns.
-30-
I'm sure when the "potesters" in Argentina learn about this, they'll be looking for crippled old ladies to torch.
Disgusting.
whoof.

Big Oil and other Rip-offs
Public citizen, Congress, and other concerned persons.
Please be alerted to these other corporate malfeasance:
Copper, Steel, Cement Prices
Please, let's tax all the commodity companies in these groups. They, like the oil companies are making HUGE profits because demand and supply don't match.
They are gouging us. Just like oil, NO ONE else but Americans use these things. They are sticking it to us.
And my coffee is WAY too expensive. Sue Starbucks, please.
Thank you,
Skippy - whoof.

President's tax Council
Tax Reform? - Can you say bankrupt?
We couldn't afford to live in our house without the mortgage and state tax deductions.
If mortgage deductions and state tax deductions are eliminated, we will loose 3/4 of our net worth.
No one will buy our house, even at the price we paid 12 years ago.
This tax plan is insane. You can't make such dramatic changes when a whole economy is based around current rules.
How about taxing capital gains on stock trades as ordinary income? Which it is. (And I trade every day.)
Nervous,
Skippy the dog
