Shirley Skeel wrote an interesting article on MSN Money titled "What if gas cost $10 a gallon?"

All-in-all, pretty interesting article.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've been doing what I can to save money (ignoring the fact that I bought another monitor the other day), including using more energy efficient light bulbs in all of my sockets. But I wish my gas mileage was a bit better ...

So, what do you think? And where are more solar-powered alternatives for the average consumer? I'd love to have affordable solar panels that I could use to recharge or power devices, even if they only helped to offset the plug in the wall ...

This is the second Supreme Court judicial campaign that I've been aware of. However, the question is, why do Wisconsin citizens even vote for judges?

If judges can't tell us how they would vote, why not just let them be elected by their own kind (whether that be judges or lawyers)?

Special edition over my lunch break ...

It seems Mitt Romney, former presidential hopeful, has withdrawn from the race.

Guardian Unlimited quotes him as such:

"In this time of war I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," he told the Conservative Political Action Committee

As with the 2004 race, once again a Republican is stating that a Democrat president would result in the United States surrendering to terror (sadly, it doesn't look like that piece was moved over to the site, but I'll see if I can't dig it up and re-post it tonight).

I suppose the lesson learned by a NY-hopeful hasn't fully reached the entire party yet (although said NY hopeful was pretty delusion to think 9/11 and campaigning in a couple of states would honestly win him much in the way of votes).
