A picture being worth a thousand words (or at least 47% of them), the blog post is a sign from outside of a Romney event. See it at the link.

1. They can't stop people from bringing in cell phones

Which makes it easy to record.

2. Probably just making it easier to sue the attendees later (NT)

3. The evil bishop and his rodent sidekick

have much to hide.

4. Oil Companies

Hi, my name is Gene, I'm not sure if this fits in this forum, but here goes.
Is our Government sitting on their hands or what? Gas prices in Ca. went up to $6.00 a gal., that really sucks, and if you think about it, that will reach the rest of the U.S. All because they broke an oil line? who the hell's problem is that? Certainly not the consumer. It seems every time these oil Co.'s have a PROBLEM, THEY SAY, LETS SOCK IT TO THE CONSUMERS. Have you ever heard of an oil Co. paying for your gas line when it broke? I say let them repair their own problem as we have to. I have not heard anything about any politician stepping up and speak for the consumer. Maybe the Kick-back is too great. But if someone does not step up to these oil Co.'s they will surely keep on crapping on us

5. I suggest you start your own thread

That way your point will not be buried in this one.

9. Where has it gone up to $6.00?

It's 4.65 here (OC). And I'd heard it had gone up to $5.00. But I haven't seen it above the $4.65 that it is here.

Btw, I agree that we, the consumers, should not have to suck up the costs of the oil company's problems. It was more than just a broken line, though. A refinery fire at another plant helped to create the shortage. Doesn't matter, though. It still shouldn't costs us. (If it helps any, I've heard that the price increases should only last a few weeks.)

Welcome to DU, eosenay!

10. Sen. Wyden did a report, some years ago

Said report showed that the oil companies closed refineries in order to keep gas prices artificially high. That is why these disruptions have such a impact: the capacity of the supply chain has been limited.
