Propane Tank Notice From Dept. of Labor        With summer outdoor cooking upon us all most people will be firing up their grills.

        Drug dealers cooking up Meth are getting propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane.  Then, they are filling
        them with anhydrous ammonia.

        After they are finished with them, they return them to the store. They are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to buy. Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank.  It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc.

        You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas.  If it is present, refuse to purchase that one.”

        Check out the following website for more details.  They also have pictures you can show.

For Sale: McCain 2008

Senator John McCain continues to shift his positions in anticipation of his run for the GOP 2008 presidential nomination. Think Progress has the video of McCain’s appearance this morning on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. In this particular appearance, McCain argues for the overturning of Roe v. Wade in order to give states the right to determine how they prefer to handle a woman’s right to choose. The subtle shift allows McCain to appeal to those conservatives who oppose abortion.

 I view his actions to be similar to the George Bush equation for gaining and holding power.

Clinton’s exit is bad news

for the Hillary-bashing industry

Haters Without a Cause

By Richard Cohen

Tuesday, June 10, 2008; Page A23

I have sometimes wondered what would happen if the good reverends of this Earth got their way and lust — evil, sinful lust — vanished overnight. I fear motels and hotels would close, florists and jewelers would seek Chapter XI, restaurants would shutter, celebrity magazines would fold, divorce lawyers would have to defend the innocent, and, in general, the economy would crash. Something like this is going to happen now that Hillary Clinton is out of the presidential race.

Clinton has been a one-woman industry. By my inexact count, more than 50 books have been published about her, many of them highly critical and some so purple as to be suitable as evidence at their authors’ competency hearings. One is called “Why the Clintons Belong in Prison.” Another is “Hillary Clinton Nude: Naked Ambition, Hillary Clinton and America’s Demise,” and yet another is “Hillary’s Scheme: Inside the Next Clinton’s Ruthless Agenda to Take the White House.” My favorite, though, is “The Hillary Clinton Voodoo Kit: Stick It to Her Before She Sticks It to You!” — both a doll and a book of suggested spells. Given her palpable mendacity and her diabolical powers (“Hillary’s Secret War: The Clinton Conspiracy to Muzzle Internet Journalists”), it is either dumb luck or part of her long-range evil plan that she has lost the Democratic nomination. Time will tell.
