The * mis-administration couldn't be happier about oil prices
The producers aren't paying a dime more to extract the oil (tanker transporters are though due to increased fuel costs, but we know who owns most of them anyway)the shareholders are reaping record profits, and mergers are rubber stamped by this criminal cabal.

But you and I are getting shafted. We make the same money every week, but now the cost of EVERYTHING beside gas and heating oil, will climb soon because of the energy costs. And * keeps filling the strategic petroleum reserve, taking 150,000 bbl. A DAY out of the supply. Iraq is a mess, and the chances of those reserves coming on line anytime soon is just a wet dream (anyone think that it isn't the 'insurgency' responsible for blowing up the pipelines?).

And all of those suv's with their support our troops ribbons on the back have dropped in value by 20% over the last 6 months (I can't wait till those scumbags go back to try and trade them in and then bitch about how upside down they are).

And what is the MSM concerned about? Burying a guy who brought the 15th century to the 21st century, who's replacement will NEVER be an American with foresight.

This situation sucks, and the money we're spending on missile defense should be spent on developing alternative energy sources.

What a fucked up country this has become.

1. worse yet...
as fuel prices cause the recession to deepen, more and more people are going to lose their jobs altogether.

But I'm not worried, because Bush promised me that the Armies of Compassion will save me, should I fall thru the cracks.
