Just so you aren't seriously claiming it had everything to do with it.

Fox News: bias anyone? (gas prices and the presidency)
by gubberningbody inwith gas prices on the rise the republicans and fox news are blaming it on obama.. .
but wait, back in 2008 when gas hit $4.11 a gallon they said just the opposite about bush: the president has no control over gas prices.. .
sure, "we report the news, you decide".

Not sure about your cause-and-effect conclusion:
On July 15, 2008, a sell-off began after remarks by Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, indicated significant demand destruction within the US because of high prices. Bernanke's statement precipitated an $8 drop, the biggest since the first US-Iraq war. [ 40 ] [ 41 ] By the end of the week, crude oil fell 11% to $128, also affected by easing of tensions between the US and Iran. [ 42 ] By August 13, prices had fallen to $113 a barrel. [ 43 ] By the middle of September, oil price fell below $100 for the first time in over six months, [ 44 ] falling below $92 in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. [ 45 ]
A stronger US dollar and a likely decline in European demand were suggested to be among the causes of the decline. [ 46 ] By October 24, the price of crude dropped to $64.15, [ 47 ] and closed at $60.77 on November 6. [ 10 ]
And doesn't the price of gasoline always peak in the summer?

Songs that are atmospheric
by FlyingHighNow inthis is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.

it's interesting how many I see going back.
The WTS may have them physically in the seats - but not their hearts and minds.

1984 has totally rocked my world!
by serenitynow! inso i read 1984, or at least part of it at the urging of my logic professor, years ago back when i was an inactive jw.

Yes. You would also love The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witness. Mind boggling.

Moroccan girl commits suicide after being forced to marry her rapist
by Diest inafter reading this article it just reminded me that koran and bible are completely backward.
the justification for this forced marriage is found in deuteronomy 22:23-24: ' .
if a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.

Welcome to Rick Santorum's America:
Santorum to Rape Survivors: "Make the Best of Bad Situation"
Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum wants every rape survivor to know that he feels their pain.
No, wait...he doesn't feel their pain in fact he would like any rape survivor who has the unfortunate luck of becoming impregnated as a result to "make the best of a bad situation." That means that women who are raped and get pregnant with the rapists' baby are then simply supposed to straighten up and have that baby.
Make lemonade!

I could go back 2 - 3 years to a comment about the ultimate cheap shot of calling out someone for still "thinking like a JW."
But - "Cofty's Law" works for me.
