Please stop with the petty jabs
[Read the article: Heck of a job]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I read War Room daily, but it is this kind of thing that drives me nuts. Why would you use this tragedy to make a cheap political point about Katrina? Seems sort of, well, O’Reillyian. Second, what is the point about the guitar and the cake? This happens about once every other week and is completely ridiculous.

Come on Salon, get your facts straight...
[Read the article: Obama is wrong about the gas tax]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Election day garbage from Salon, shame on you:
From the New York Times:
"Suspending federal and state gas taxes, however, would not necessarily lead to a commensurate drop in prices.
Since 2000, four states have enacted gas tax holidays: Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Indiana. In general, retailers did not pass on all of the intended savings.
When Illinois and Indiana suspended about 7 cents of their state gas taxes in the summer of 2000, prices fell by an average of only 4 cents, according to a study by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, which opposed the plans. Drivers saved no more than $2.50 a month, while each state lost tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue."
