This is a very scary summer that is coming.
When those tempratures go up, so do the problems - how many people do you know that can be rationale at 130 degrees??

God bless the United States, cause this guy is NOT the United States -

Bless us all this summer, we NEED it.

1. $5.00 a gallon gas and $500 dollars a month A/C bills?
Could get ugly very quickly, while HALLIBURTION is laughing all the way to the bank.

6. Heat indexes in the South can be bad, and not even exclusively to the
South. High temps tend to make people quite cranky. Heat and humidity, a bad combo.

21. I have lived in the South most of my life and never experienced
heat indexes of 130. I moved up to the Atlanta area from Miami in 1989. Not even in Miami, was the heat index that high. Maybe a little over 100, but not much higher.

12. Some time Ju;ly or greater that IS the temps our kids face
In the God forsaken deserts in Iraq or wherever.

How'd you like to wear a face mask then???

It is a problem of unintended circumstance.

They never thought they'd be here four years from the fact - BUT IT IS an unintended circumstance MANY of our kid get to deal with EVERYDAY.

It is the NORMAL temprature in the Iraqi desert this summer.

That is the answer you are seeking, right??

7. We are the rationale -
Maybe we are all that counts now.

We are it, you know. The "boundaries" of democracy - we have a lot of friends - and we better lean on them.

The scariest thing B*sh has ever had to deal with - our parents children.

We beat Hitler once - who are you??


Reality starts with a vision - My vision is you lose, badly.


Bring it on George, November will not be kind to you -

5. Do not worry
As we get closer to the elections, probably sometime in July, gas prices will level off and start dropping.

9. Maybe -
But this moron has managed screw up every decision point up until now -

Every single one - must be a record.

I am afraid to imagine the "records" post 4/24/06 - really afraid.

This is a truly scary situation.

11. I fear this summer for a number of reasons
already here in the NC we are having hot and humid weather and it is just April. I work, but don't make alot and that means I watch every penny. I resisted the urge for as long as I could before turning on the A/C. I might have tried to suffer through it, but I have a 10 yr old Golden and can't leave him in a hot apartment. The price of gas is already on the rise and Memorial Day isn't even in sight yet.

Another troubling sign is the already turbulent weather we are experiencing and hurricane season hasn't begun.

And of course lets not forget all the crap that Shrubya is trying to start...

This summer is gonna be hell for sure.

13. That is a great looking dog - I LOVE dogs -
No, I am afraid for my kid there, afraid for what it portends to my other kids.

I know my E-5 is in for a very bad summer, he knows. They know.

I'd like to have altruistic visions, I don't - I am afraid for those kids, our kids - we all should be. Some Generals were - and Rush should be taking more meds -

WHen I say a bad summer, I mean a BAD summer.

I wish it were other, and I know what that means, very well.

14. I am pretty freaked out...
We've had a VERY dry winter and being in central Texas when the temps hit over 100 degrees is not my idea of fun...:(

16. Maybe we all should be freaking out and fighting
I am from a very military family - and they all fight this one out - to the limit.

Yeah, it really is 130 degrees there in the God for saken desert, it is a FACT~~

My boy, I am so proud, is the first to say - "SO WHAT, WHERE IS THE USA - LETS DO THE RIGHT THING"

I know - your parents, grandparents say the same and RIGHT thing.

Lets get those kids home right now - they are such good kids and they do NOT deserve this.

They were brought up well, they do want to do what is right.

That is why they really are great.

We better do the right thing by them.

It is up to us here,

Joe

20. I predict you are going to see Katrina &Tsunami like deaths this summer...
people who can't afford AC will be killed by the heat. People get frustrated with their situation and take it out on the innocent. All while * and co make billions on profits from high oil.

Watch...it will happen.... Do all that you can to protect the elderly and those less fortunate....you just might save a life.

22. You might be right.
I couldn't agree with your sentiment more.

It is the "what so ever you do to the least of my brothers" thing B*sh missed from his sunday school - Guess he was absent that day.

We weren't though, huh??

This is going to be a bad summer - you can feel it.

Best to you,

Joe for GORE (CLark is needed as defense secretary now)
