Zing!
LOL! I'd be surprised if it only goes that far back. ;-)
I apologize for being so way off post, but could you create a post to announce this?
Alert! PBS's program "Frontline" is tomorrow evening beginning the first of a three-part series titled "News War: Secrets, Sources & Spin. This may be the first time that any serious effort has been made to look into the implications of just what has happened to our liberal media. I've been hearing about it all day on NPR. Here's the link, check your local stations for times.

The popcorn and drinks are on me. This could be good.
Minstrel, I will be responsible for the next to final sentence.
Regards.
A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to find someone who admitted to
using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and
the number of people turning to synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel
prices, has risen greatly.
So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based stand-bys which are
admittedly cheaper?
1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at purchase. However, these oils
last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based
lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you
have someone else change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!
My guess is Popes going back to their days in Avignon pissed off Melissa and Amanda, so let's call it even. Especially over a Chateauneuf du Pape.
