More than 50 Lukoil gas stations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania raised the prices of gas to more that $8 a gallon today in a protest over unfair distributor pricing practices. The station owners are at odds with Lukoil North America. The protest is to raise consumer awareness about the challenges that Lukoil owners face in competing with other stations. Franchisees have to pay more for fuel than their competitors, with others selling gas for less than they pay from the distributor.

| The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards tonight were moved back an hour so that everyone could switch over and watch President Obama's Democratic National Convention speech. I wonder how many people actually made the switch, or just stayed on to watch the immediate replay of the awards. It's been years since MTV actually participated deeply in political coverage and voter activism on air. Harken back to the 1992 election and the 'Choose or Lose' program, especially the landmark question and answer... Read More |
