as can be seen here. So, the rise in oil prices caused the collapse of the dot-coms? Funny, I don't suppose that companies like www.StupidIdea.com that didn't have a clue as to how they'd ever make a profit but spent money like crazy wouldn't have anything to do with their failure? These companies were the living embodiment of the old joke "We lose money on every sale but make it up in volume." Funny how dozens of dot-com companies managed to lose millions of dollars each until they ran out of money but the reason wasn't their stupid business pactices. No, it must've been because of rising oil prices! Vintage Ed-stuff.

He can't even understand the fact that President George W. Bush isn't a Junior. His father is George Herbert Walker Bush. Like we said in the military, he tends to display a lack attention to detail. That alone makes any of his posts questionable, especially when it comes to space where details are extremely important.
