They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state,
others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish,
coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and complete subservience to the government nanny state,
others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness.
I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr

If you have several vehicles that require the same oil, you may well
be better off buying it in bulk. Check with your local distributor
and compare prices. Hope you had a great Christmas.

LOL...I noticed that too.

Too bad motor oil doesn't track the local gas price.

Why doesn't it?

It's starting down, but it won't vary as much as fuel, nor as rapidly.
Motor oil is a very small part of the refining volume, and the additives
are much of the cost. The container is also a big part of the cost.

I know. I was preaching to the choir.

The thing is that I forgot to add the punch line when I got back to
my desk:

With more than your little 'Acme Anti-anvil Umbrella'.



It stinks to have to be running to the bathroom every ten minutes.
