In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

Enjoy your oil, King Abdullah!
Thanks for sticking it to us....again!
Looks like President Bush was shown the way out of the palace when he made his request for Saudi Arabia to increase oil production to help drive down our prices. He only won an agreement for 300,000 barrels a day, which won't be much of an improvement.
"Speaking to reporters in Egypt Saturday, President Bush says he told King Abdullah that it is in Saudi Arabia's long-term interest to put more oil on the world market.
"I said very plainly, I said you've got to be concerned about the effects of high oil prices on some of the biggest customers in the world," he said. "And, not only that, of course high energy prices is going to cause countries like mine to accelerate our move towards alternative energy.
"President Bush says the kingdom's decision to boost output to make up for other shortfalls is something, but it is not enough."
President Bush is calling on Congress for more oil exploration at home.
