Warning: A key aide to aging Arizona Senator John McCain proclaims "John McCain is aware of the internet".
Signalling that the jig is up. He's on to us. No more hiding in the tubes. From now on we can expect the campaign to avoid the gaffe's and double speak as they realize that it may be recorded and played back later on said internet. This shocking development could also impact the campaign as they investigate rumors that Democratic nominee Barack Obama is actually raising money on said internet. A spokesman for the McCain campaign, on the promise of anonymity, claims that they will be unveiling a continuing series of other things the Republican nominee is also aware of.
Spoiler alert: next up - mccain's staff reveals he is aware of cell phones.

So top McCain advisor Charlie Black thinks another terror attack would be a "Big Advantage" for Sen McCain's campaign. Well if history is any indication this race is already over.

My line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon: Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose, CA, we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel, the next day is jet fuel and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.
Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
