i dont understand why people love these crooks so much.

has nothing to do with love of crooks. i hate aspects of the adminstration too. I just do not blame all of our woes on them. Most of the problems we have including energy and ecological issues didn't start a few years ago - they have always been there. And in typical US fashion nothing is done until there is a crisis.

I still would rather have the 'crooks' in the white house. I would rather pay $5 at the pump (consumption - something I control). than the alternative, turning over national security to the UN and a %$%$%$%$ load more social programs taking money from my check each pay period.

the problem has been there, but the bush admin. is amplifying the causes for oil price increases.... ie global conflict. i bet your one of those who thought IRAQ was going to attack us somehow and posed a threat

Funny John Kerry and the other corrupt liberal clinton both publicly stated that they believe there was a clear and present danger.

so did Kerry and clinton and the rest of congress (both left and right) conspire with GW's admin and international (Tony Blair) parties to fake a clear and present danger to fight for oil? Don't think so.

I do agree that is why were are still there and think we should have pulled out long ago. I don't care if we wiped out the entire population of Iraq if it meant that one US soldier did not end up with a hang-nail. I say nuke-it, pave-it and take the oil.

IMO the price of fuel has more to do the the developement of china and their new demand (which it huge) then anything bush or clinton did or didn't do. It is easy to blame this on either but it is neither ones fault.
I like the price in caracus.

Ok Now I sound like a baby but WTF.
Filled up last night @266. This am same station 288. After work went by the same station 308.
How can this be, it's "old" Gas , It should take weeks before it go's up not 24 hrs.

And Sandman, I can't wait to see what I will be paying for gas over 30 days on the island for the derby.

Angry $4.99 per gallon

because of those two disfunctional oil pipelines.

but the sickest and ugliest thing i heard today was this.

a nurse who stepped outside for a breath of fresh air

because the hospital she's working in (trying to save patients)
had zero ventilation...without power....

was robbed outside at gunpoint by some fokin scumbags.

that is absolutely OUTRAGIOUS. no mercy shoot to kill

all armed looters .PERIOD , BAM
