so, if you slap the hand, you have to give a pat on the back. bush is at least making some attempt (alterior motives? still trust issues) to turn things around. removing $2 billion in tax breaks for oil companies reporting record profits would seem like a no brainer. although, he can’t actually do it, congress has to. maybe it’s a start. there’s some more today with congress getting oil companies tax records. how is this going to get prices to drop? it’s not. it may end up making the oil companies look bad, but it’s not going to do anything else. the only way prices will go down is if supply increases (not going to happen) or demand decrease. poor city planning and urban sprawl are part of the problem. even with gas at $3/gallon that’s still not really significant enough for people to change their ways.
on a musical note (man that’s bad), it’s good to see some musicians actually standing up for themselves. even if they are only canadian.
interesting english world cup blog. indeed, where is that u.s. world cup song?
one computer bit. after installing the new ubuntu i started seeing weird problems with random scrolling in firefox. it turns out that it’s because they enabled the scroll strip on the touch pad. how annoying. who ever though it was a good idea to integrated it right in the same surface? i’m constantly accidentally setting it off. i guess i’ll have to figure out how to turn it off now.
