The full text of the Pope's remarks are HERE in case y0u haven't read them. Actually, it is relatively arcane and of interest only to Catholic intellectuals, but Muslims want to kill and be killed so they can go to Paradise.....

Reynolds offers this piece of fiction today:

"Gasoline prices continue to tumble briskly, dropping Monday to a U.S. average of less than $2.50 a gallon for the first time since March. Service stations even are beginning old-fashioned gas wars to avoid losing customers to price-cutting rivals."

Here in LA the low prices charged by some have nothing to do with prices anywhere else, which can differ by thirty cents per gallon in stations across the street from one another. Low today is $2.79 with at least half the stations charging more than $3. So who goes to them? The only thing I can figure is that some businesses have credit cards good only at these stations; there are a lot of people paying $3.05 this AM.
