1. about 70 billion a year, and we haven't even gotten to the good

stuff yet. man, and when bush's boy pull's his next stunt in america, I wonder what the national debt will rise too. looks like osama is going to go down in history.

5. oh, I imagine that if we were looking out over the field it would

3. Ha! Remember the yokels that said the "oil money" would cover it?!

A dippy guy at my work even said that WE'D be rich with the oil revenues. Such delusions...
