...clusterfuck. And this is exactly what this oil fiasco is turning into. A pipeline that supplies 400,000 barrels a day hasn't been maintained properly for 16 years. Who's on that watch? And we continue to ignore our own natural resources in Anwar and off our coasts because some asswipe envirowacko's want to spare some caribou's and fishes, some of wich would would eat your ass in a heartbeat. They want to prevent Anwar from turning into a moonscape, which it already is. And I doubt they ever even go there. I'm no prognostimasturbator, but I see $5 a gallon by the end of the year. Do you know what that would do to the economy, particularly those that work for minimum wage? Hell, they wouldn't be able to go to work. If I put 20 gallons a week in my truck, it would cost me $400 a month to just drive to work, and I get good mileage.
The price of a barrel of gas in 1998 (eight years ago for those challenged like myself) was $11.91. If a loaf of bread went up by $8.50 a year, what would your reaction be? Some are advocating we start developing our resources ASAP. Too late, asswipes. That should have happened years ago while you were watching reruns of Marlin Perkins. Nothing would happen for 5-10 years that would have any significant impact. Hopefully, in the next few years, the automakers will have the alternative fuel engines in all makes, and farmers will rule the world. I like drinking with farmers. Good people.
And to boot, 11 Egyptian men are MISSING. HUH? Eleven muslims missing in the U.S. I thought that's what Homeland Security was for? This is so encouraging.
I'm gonna buy more wine...

I reckon it is all in how you look at it. I remember when gasoline was less that a quarter and A bottle of Coke Cola was five cents. Now if gasoline had appreciated as much as the gotdam Coke we would have been paying five bucks a gallon several years ago. But, I still talk bad about BPs mommas when I tear tha hundred dollar bill all to hell filling up my Red Ram pickup.
Fuel consumers should go on STRIKE!
I feel like a total manipulated turd tonight, I actually ran off and filled every GotDaaumed container I could find as "somebody" said the cost was going up tomorrow!
I've never givin a shit, and really still don't, cuz iffin I gots someplace to go or someplace I want to go to, the cost is just one element of the trip.
Gee I may have actually saved myself $3.43 and all it cost me was $166.00 in order to claim the savings. Of course on the credit card!
I'd bet that within one very difficult month in this nation, the cost and the price at the pump could drop back to the buck a gallon rip off it was when it was only a buck.
CHIT I still enjoyed the days of $0.33 a gallon.
Edmund John Philip Browne thee Baron Browne of Madingley of Cambridge in the County of Cambridgeshire, the head dick of BP was snatched from retirement and is now at Prudhoe. It was on Sir John's watch that the Exxon Valzez sized July oil spill occurred, not bad for a greenie. He along with his field managers ran the equipment into the ground, maintenance was abandoned in the interest of production where the operating philosophy was "run it until it fails". Much of the detection and shutdown systems have been bypassed to keep production online instead of investing in maintaining and repair. The practice has born fruit for BP, at $76 a barrel and climbing I'm sure the retiring Browne's legacy as the crackerjack leader of BP is being scrutinized since their bottom line is in the shitter.
