This is what has broken the back of America in Iraq." I would agree that complete victory in Iraq is not an overnight venture, but broken our back? I would modify that phrase a littlefalseJeremy2006-04-28T19:13:00-05:002006-04-29T00:15:43Z2006-04-28T22:08:19Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12986458.post-114626209950422858The Oil-Dratic EquationI was watching the news yesterday and some lady from The Petroleum Institute, got on there and was defending the high gas prices. Her math was brilliant, apparently of the money we pay for gas at the pump, she said 60% goes to the cost of crude, 20% for refining, and 20% for marketing and distribution. Now that's interesting, because that equals 100%!! So ALL of my money goes to expenses?

Obviously this has got people spooked all over the place. Over at GraphicLens we've done a few graphics about Iran.

It's definitely an interesting read, and yes, very creepy.

Greeting us outside the entrance is a small crowd of people smoking, ironically right outside the doors to the cancer treatment area. We came in and did the usual routine.

It's a little hard to find on the internet for the moment, at least as of writing this it was. It is a 7.5 meg download, so I hope you don't have dial-up.

I've obtained information about their next missile, the Shalhoub 7 from the following CIA document:
Disturbing information isn't it? I've also managed to obtain a picture of this missile being tested.

The movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" came to life in Yucatan, Mexico. Juan Espinosa and Irma Contreras got into a marital spat that evolved into a life or death struggle. They fired guns at each other, threw knives, and tossed homemade bombs! The fight ended when their house exploded from a homemade gasoline bomb detonation. What do they think about this now? Juan is glad his wife suffered thirdfalseJeremy2006-03-17T15:00:00-06:002006-03-17T21:07:20Z2006-03-17T21:07:20Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12986458.post-114262964071487917Back From HiatusI apologize for having been gone for so long. I try to post something every day or at least close to that, but took a break for a little over a month. We've been doing a redesign over at GraphicLens and it's been very demanding. I noticed that when I did personal blog stuff here, I ended up doing nothing on the GraphicLens site, so I just stopped for awhile.

Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and others. Also, how it usually only involves civil rights.
