This morning, I read another one of those forwards about striking against two of the big three oil companies to fight the war on rising gas prices and thought to myself, I should add to the mayhem over our war on terror and rising gas prices, and tell folks that in a recent meeting of some top dogs in the fuel industry, my notes when I took minutes (to myself of course) was to buy a horse.
Most of us Americans want our cake and our frosting together; talk about spoiled.
Lucille Ball used to joke that she never sat next to legislators at dinner, because they never pass anything.
Our state Legislature proved her wrong in 2006, especially on health care.

Roger and Lynn Smith are streetwalkers extraordinaire.
The Genesee Hill couple, who are in their early 70s, recently finished walking every block of every street in West Seattle.
An elementary school student would consider it simple arithmetic.
Seattle Public Schools had 100,000 students with facilities to educate them in 1960.
People who take morning runs or afternoon strolls around West Seattle are happy for the public stairways that help them climb the steepest hills in the city.
The stairways have linked West Seattle neighborhoods for the past century. Today they bring medical benefits in the form of exercise terrain. Countless runners and walkers map their routes to include (or avoid) particular stairways around the Duwamish Peninsula.
Public stairways are built in the right of way of city streets in places where the land is too steep for a street.
The Washington State Department of Transportation has ruled state funding for a "no build" option for replacement of the ailing Alaskan Way Viaduct would not be available.
"Funding now committed by the Legislature is not available for the 'no replacement option'," wrote Doug MacDonald, Secretary of Transportation, in a three-page letter to Seattle Councilmember David Della.
A motorcyclist lost control of his bike on Alki Avenue and struck a skateboarder on the bike path, killing both men near Duwamish Head Thursday night.
The motorcyclist was identified as Leon Coley Jr., 37.
The skateboarder was 21-year-old Travis Gracey.
Coley was killed when he lost control of his bike, veered off Alki Avenue and struck and killed Gracey on the bike path.
The accident happened shortly before 10 p.m.
The Elliott Bay water taxi began sailing May 1 and will continue regular service through the end of September.
Metro's water taxi service across Elliott Bay runs seven days a week, between Pier 55 at the foot of Spring Street on the downtown Seattle waterfront and Seacrest Park on Harbor Avenue in West Seattle. The crossing time between Pier 55 and Seacrest takes 12 minutes.
Again this year, there's a free West Seattle shuttle (DART Route 773) that connects the dock at Seacrest Park to Alki, the Admiral District and the West Seattle Junction.
