P.S. L.E.'s wife enjoyed this creation-L.E. is still unsure-how do you rate it?

TODAY'S FINANCIAL TIMES DISCLOSES U.S. DOWNTURN WILL LAST LONGER THAN MOST EXPECT (recession through 2009) and OIL HITS FRESH RECORD ($112)HIGH.

Coupled with this news, the F.T. reports that "Banks take Blame for Crisis" in an effort to maintain self regulation. L.E. believes that "self regulation" may not in our best interests and is analogous to leaving the wolves in with the sheep. Result wolves have full bellies and sheep are decimated.

WHILE TAXPAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO BAIL OUT THESE AVARICIOUS FOLK, WE SHOULD EXPECT/DEMAND MEANINGFUL REGULATION OF THEIR ACTIVITIES!

L.E. has been attempting to place a widget here which displays continually updated gas prices for Las Vegas. However, his technical expertise is insufficient at this time and promises of others to complete this task for L.E. have proven hollow.
