2. Ahhh, so that's why prices are going up.
Chimp bought a slight bump in the polls after Katrina with a realease from the strategic reserve.

With a little help from his friends in the oil companies, of course.

8. This actually happened several weeks ago...
The pumps dropped down to below 2 bucks in my neighborhood, but a slow creep up is happening again. First it shot up 10 cents over night, then a penny here a penny there. Just wait till around mid January just when the nation is in the deepest shit cold wise.

Let's look back on the situation.

Prices slowly start to rising in July and throughout August. Then they take a giant leap up after Katrina. Then all calms down (relatively speaking), because we start buying oil from Europe and Japan (whose oils comes from us), then they cut off the valves just before the holidays. The effect will only hit us a few weeks after as those additional fuel supplies run out. And when is that? Oh about NOW. But than a funny thing happens, just when all the senators are puffing themselves up about price gouging charges against the big oil companies and senator stevens from alaska refuses to allow the oil company execs to testify under oath, the outrage has vanished into holiday merriment and vacation for our elected officials.

So as they say, rinse and repeat. Here we go again, more sky high prices that they can blame on ingrown toenails or something else.

I now firmly believe that the powers that be,(certainly not moron*), want his* ass out of washington. Why do you ask? Barons put the kiss of death on him and the oil assholes see how much money they can make regardless of jerkoff*, so as I have been writing on here for the past 3 months, this will be moron* winter of discontent. As the oil prices go sky high and the drug prices go sky high, his formally unwavering base of old ass repukes will wake from there self induced kool-ade fog and finally realize he's* an asshole*, but by that time it will be too late.

colossal racist spying pig failure*.
