YouTube.com is the most popular video sharing site in the world with an estimated 53 million visitors per month in the United States. This popularity has ensured that both Presidential candidates have dedicated YouTube pages for their various videos however users have also flooded YouTube with their various political messages dissecting every word of the candidates. I wrote earlier this week that the Internet is going to be a significant tool for the Democrats and maybe less so for the Republicans; this statement is proven by Senator McCain’s bad reputation on the site:
Step1: Go to YouTube.com
Step2: Type in John McCain
Step3: Watch the List of Anti-McCain videos appear
*Those were the first video’s that came up, according to the search term that was inputted

The Bush Administration will continue to push for a lifting on the ban of offshore drilling today which will likely only sate the American appetite for oil for 2.5 years at the most. The problem is that the President has only proposed a short-term measure with no thoughts about what is going to happen after we exhaust those oil supplies? I am not against lifting the ban however it should be lifted with intention to keep the price of oil stable while the Government invests greater resources into alternative energy sources. For the moment I would like to draw your attention to two sites that I found during my research on gas prices. The first is gasbuddy.com where you can put in your relevant location data and they will tell you where the cheapest price of gas is in your local area. The second site is pumps.ie which operates similarly to gasbuddy.com with the exception that Ireland is not that big hence there are relatively few choices to choose from:
GasBuddy.com
Pumps.ie
