The lack of common sense by these Economist goons is staggering!!
2000 acres worth of drills in the 2nd largest State in America will gain us HUNDREDS of years of oil....WOW!! why would we EVER think of doing that?

GeorgeL said:yes, walmart got ransacked by toy scalpers at 8:00 am this morning. I was there for the open (7am). Nothng on the shelf which leads me to believe the scalper which was combing the aisle same time as me made them go in back and bring it all out.
If there is one thing I cannot stand, its scalpers (of any kind).

GeorgeL said:I harass scalpers to no end, even at conventions. The best are concert scalpers. I am a big Who fan and I've seen them live over 75 times. I see the same scalpers at each show in the parking lot and offer them 20 bucks for tickets that they are trying to get $250 for, it infuriates them to no end. I say HAHA you're going to lose money. I've never sat farther back than 3rd row in all my times seeing them. Most I've ever paid for a ticket is face value.
There is a store in my neighborhood that likes to overprice star wars and all hard to find action figures. Whenever I go there I bend all the cards on the pegs. I even smush the bubbles. Hows that? They have no business buying the figures at Kaybee and Toys r us at the crack of dawn and then reselling them at double and triple the price.
Once I was at walmart at night and came acroos all the episode III figs unopned on a pallet. A scalper saw them at the same time. I took all the boxes and loaded them into my cart unopened. He said you're gonna buy all those? I said no, I am going to pick out all the hard to find ones and buy those for my kids, then bend all the remaining cards and you can go through them. I said if you're gonna play with them what does the condition of the card matter to you? He wanted to fight me he was so pissed.
Well I'd say your a dick,
GeorgeL said:Im totally anal when it comes to buying. It has to be perfect. Deep down I know these figs and toy line will be worthless in the years to come so Im not sure why I am such a perfectionist. Its just in my blood. I'm like that with everything.
