[hatrack]

(Don Haney, KFGO, Fargo) WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) It's first come, first serve. That's why Wayne Pudil (PYOO'-dill) has his tanker truck parked in front of the Magellan pipeline terminal in West Fargo.

The Grand Forks trucker is waiting for a shipment of diesel fuel expected to arrive sometime tonight or early tomorrow.

Cenex is sending 2 million gallons from one of its Montana refineries in response to a diesel shortage in eastern North Dakota.

Pudil says the diesel will go fast. He says its enough for about 50 tankers.

1. Ahh, shortages of fuel. the first sign of serious economic problems.

Well, maybe not the first sign. The tainted food, toxic chemical covered kids' toys, and poisoned pet food may have been the first sign. Wait, maybe it was the 50% plus foreclosure rate increase or the worst US personal saving rate since the Great Depression. Could it have been the widening gap between the uber rich and the middle class, stagnant wages and rotting, vacant factory buildings?

Friedman's train of neocon economics is moving along as scheduled. Next stop, over fifty percent of Americans below the poverty level.

2. Dying was too good for "Uncle Miltie"

I hope there is a hell after all, just for Milton Friedman. What a transcendentally evil little homunculus he was.

3. Flying J not having that problem

Flying J no shortage on west end of the state or on the east end

Their web site is good at where they are short or what price is

Some states .10 difference in price of fuel just 100 miles apart

4. stock-out at one loading terminal, does not imply a general problem

this problem, could be for a lot of reasons
