Id have to agree with alot of you, my brother recently went to Austria to study abroad, and although gas prices are sky high there, they have a massive public transportation sytstem including; buses, subways, trains etc. Its a great addition to the infrastructure over in Austria by greatly reducing the amount of fuel the country uses, and creates cheap and efficent transportation for its people. The US needs to hurry up with a new transportation sytem or a new cheap reliable fuel for our cars because gas prices are killing our economy. I remember before the war started, gas was around $1.40 and now it varies from $3.00 to $4.00. Somthing needs to change quick or im gonna be eating out of a garbage can.

My daughter, and I took in a movie the other day, and, it cost $5.00 each to get inside for the matinee. We got a small popcorn, and a small drink, and those four items set me back $18.00.
I did not notice going in, but coming out, it was clear that I owned the only sub compact in the entire parking lot. My husband makes two hundred, and fifity dollars an hour, and I'm the only tiny car in a full parking lot. There's something wrong with this picture.

If we had used the funds from the war , in making hydrogen generators and placing them accordingly, and since we spent so much we could have given everyone a new car and recycled their old ones. We could have avoided the war altogether and now our economy would be thriving and new jobs would have been created.Plus there would be no food shortage and Hunger in the U.S. I guess the Bush family was, is making too much from oil sales with there partners in the Middle east? I wonder how much Bush senior has made in the past 8 years, from his oil holdings????

$4.09 for regular gas! Man you're lucky. The Mobile down the road from me is $4.23... and the other Mobile one mile farther down the road is $4.33... and the one across from Siena college is $4.29. Gas prices in upstate NY make no sense.

What I don't understand is why you are forced to come to the office when your job is to post a blog. I would think telecommuting would be possible and a better alternative for some journalists. You could save on bus fair and (if CNN didn't need to host another computer and its worker) the office could save energy.

Ok Franko: You are one to talk... their instead of there.

But I agree. I live in Georgia and it is not necessarily what I would call the greatest state for public education, which you have illustrated by simply stating that Georgia is thankfully one of the Top 50 States for Educational Quality.

That is just sad.

Look into private education.

"seems like you missed the fact their are only 50 states in our union!!!"

Think Global Empire, Imperialism, Boston Tea Party.
All the billions, who are also Human, and can count past 50,
forcefully, tax, but not vote, included.

I live in a small town in Iowa. The grocery store is 4 blocks away, the Pharmacy is next to that, and the hospital is only 2 blocks from my house. I still drive a bit because a tank of gas (50.00) will last me right now about 3 weeks. that's if I take a few trips to Walmart 30 miles away.

If the price of gas continues to go up, I will get a three wheeled bike with a big basket on it for shopping. And I will put my 4 cyl truck in the garage. But with winter coming along, there will be lots of times I can't take my three wheeler to the store. But I feel very blessed to be in a small town in Iowa.

First off, this is not news.

On the other hand, in spite of the fact that Backwoods (Georgia) is known for it's general lack of an inmtelligence score, I suppose his kids may actually be getting an above average education even by the whole country's standards, if their teachers hands-on tutoring approach is anything like Florida's. (STEREOTYPICAL FACT PROVEN TRUE: ALL TEACHERS, ALL OF THEM, SLEEP WITH THEIR STUDENTS IN FLORIDA.)
