Now that is what I want to see ASAP.

I know I said this last year, but my birthday is September 2nd...so that would be fun!

...p.s...I think that these articles should be in the News section...they are verified by the links, not hearsay......and lookin' good too, I might add!

This is the date until they can't get their shiite together for this one and reschedule for another 5 months down te road...I'm sorry but unless the third times the charm and they actually start getting some work done I don't see this one happening.

Well ya know that oil ain't gonna get itself out of
the ground. So they might as well go ahead with
thier summit and get on with this.
