On Thursday evening, crude for August delivery climbed as high as $78.19 a barrel in electronic trading.

Gotta love strife, turmoil, and pure speculation!


We should all strive to be oil company CEOs!

1. Well, isn't that just wonderful?

That means the oil companies will all be able to declare profits for Q3 2006 in the $50 billion range, instead of somewhere shy of $40 billion...

:sarcasm:

2. Terra terra terra and Oil oil oil!!!!!!!

3. Wait For The Spin.....

The 23% are gathering their notes, as to how they'll spin this.

Wonder how the 48% who voted for this administration BOTH times, in the belief that this "oil" King would bring about lower gas prices.

But I'm sure these Assholes will justify it somehow. Wasn't george's fault. I'm sure it wasn't his fault. NOTHING IS EVER HIS FAULT!!

I hope gas goes to $100/barrel. I am sorry for those liberals who will suffer because of it, but guess what? WE'RE ALREADY SUFFERING! What the Fuck will it take to make the rest of Amerika realize the SOB that is King?

11. my guess...The Draft

I hope it never gets to that. I know some make the argument that
if that is what it takes for people to pay attention, then so
be it. But as a mother of 4 sons (even-though we're Canadian)...
I can't imagine a nightmare like that.

4. just filled my gas tank

can't wait to see the price tommorrow

[pooja]

5. If we tax the oil company and expel the tax at the pump, would

the price stay the same... or would it go down?

[Master Mahon]

6. Looks like another trifecta for Bush!

Oil, War, Tax Breaks, just how wonderful can it get for the masters of malice?

[katty]

7. and climbing to $100

[Roland99]

8. I had someone telling me last year that oil would hit $80 and gas $3/gal

and I thought, man, that seems outrageous.



Well.....

[madmark]

9. its just making substitutes more economically viable

[CatholicEdHead]

10. Gas is already $2.96/gal here already

So that means $3.15+ soon?

[Roland99]

12. Possibly. Odd thing here is that gas has dropped a few cents today.
