MSNBC analysis of high gas prices.."Oh man, will it ever end"?
Have these people never heard of google?? Do they ever even TRY to get some people as guests who might EXPLAIN exactly WHY gas prices continue to rise...or what we could do or should have done YEARS ago to stop it??

Nope.. just some stock footage of rolling gas pump meter, and "Oh man, will it ever end"?...accompanied by a few giggles from his co-Barbie..:grr:

and of course, then we are "treated" to THREE replays of some poor ice skater landing face first on the ice as her partner tripped while she was lifted above his shoulders...( she just lay there unconscious...just got out of the hospital for a concussion)

says he.."Ooooh, that's gotta hurt"..

says she.. "It hurts ME every time I watch it"

1. Thanx for the snapshot SoCalDem
"Ooooh, that's gotta hurt".. -the phrase of the day.

While I'm watching reports of Russia Central Bank
no longer supporting $.

And China dumping theirs.

November 3 is going to b very interesting.

And you know that every journalist has heard the term
"PeakOil", and their must be a gun at their heads
and it will be used if that word is uttered.

2. It will end (be over, new age, whatever) when you hear this
Cheap oil is a matter of life and death for the US, and it is
a matter of considerable personal importance to many
powerful people. The maintenance of a US-dominated
unipolar world, especially in monetary affairs, is also
an absolute imperative. Anything which stands in the way
of these imperatives must be crushed – and Russia stands
in the way of both.

or this:

"Many Iraqis have so much distrust for U.S. forces we
found they've come up with a nickname for our troops,"
Scott (Pelley-CBS) said. "They call American soldiers 'The
Jews,' as in, 'Don't go down that street, the Jews set up
a roadblock.' "
