With gasoline topping $4 a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling

Congressional Democrats were quick to reject the push for lifting the drilling moratorium

Way to go Obama, Lets shoot for $99 a GALLON! Yeah Baby love those dumbocrats!

If you want even higher gas prices,just simply vote democratic.

No, if you want the highest gas prices, you need to elect someone with oil industry backgrounds (like Cheney/Bush) and lots of crony friends/investments in same industry (like Cheney/Bush). I think it was Bill Maher that said we''d be crucifying Col. Sanders if fried chicken tripled in price under his administration.

I would stay home - I could finally get caught up on stuff - would take about a year to get caught up! As for VPN - many IT departments hate it and do not allow it and they even block it. The ones that do have restrictions and you have to answer a bunch of questions as to why you need it. Security at all costs for many IT folks - keep the hackers out.

Time to nationalize the oil companies like Hugo did. Oil is too important a resource to leave in the hands of war-mongering conservative extremists who run the oil companies (and now the government).

Time to pull the plug on the occupation for oil in Iraq. No more troops for Exxon!!!!

It doesn''t matter if they have people working 2 days a week, because people are not going to stay at home they are going to go or bust I drive a truck for a living and it seems the higher gas goes the more traffic there is.Ppeople will go just to prove to who ever that they can, if they cut back to 4 days it will cost people more because at least when they go to work they are parked,but if they have an extra day off it will be lets go to the beach or mickey mouse land we''ve got 3 days off now
they are not going to stay at home if everyone would just stay at home 1 day a week it would save millions of gals of fuel but that would be fighting a losing battle thanks for your time

[The daily grind -- driving to work five days a week -- is grinding a hole in motorists'' pocketbooks with gas prices topping $4 a gallon and showing no signs of heading south anytime soon. ]

keeping people at work for a continuous 40 hours would save on gas too ... but that doesn''t necessarily mean it would be a good idea.

THE WORKWEEK SHOULD BE REVISED TO 4 DAYS A WEEK, 6 HOURS A DAY...ESPECIALLY SINCE COMPANIES CAN''T PROVIDE RAISES. IT WOULD ALSO OPEN UP OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A LOT OF PART-TIME JOBS FOR THOSE WHO ARE OUT OF WORK.

ANY ANYONE WHO WORKS ON A COMPUTER, DEFINITELY SHOULD BE MADE TO STAY AT HOME AND USE VPN!

The Earth has survived trillions of years until Man came on the scene & now we''''re destroying it.

The entire universe is only around 15 billion years old. Does Earth predate the universe??
And besides the Earth (actually it''s lifeform)has essentially been destroyed dozens of times in it''s history. (Unless you are a bible thumping environmentalist, in that case the earth has only been around a couple thousand years)

France''s work week was shortened to 35 hours because of high unemployment. It didn''t create new jobs. It has been a dismal failure and was recently abolished for most intent and purposes.
