I saw it last night online and knew the price was going to jump. Any excuse.
Everything is better on the rocks.

Thats all this is is an excuse to hike prices!!! Don't they (BP) have to execute maintenance from time to time???? Yet we need to pay the freight?!?!?!!! These SOB's are really pissing me off....and our wonderful government should be ashamed of itself as it has a hand in the middle of this "convenient" situation!!!!! Never heard of oil spiking like this before the whole Katrina fiasco!!!! Now if any newsworthy event happens such as a hurricane, routine maintenance on a pipeline or any such nonesense the price of gas conveniently goes through the friggin roof!!!!!! This is a new phenomenon where they can just make boat loads of money off us poor bastards!!!!! The price spikes have "ZERO" to do with events in the middle east as many think....it has only to do with a government that is not taking care of business by regulating such bullshiite!!!!!!!!!
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Oil Co's:
They already had record 1st qtr profits, figure another 50cents for every fn gallon sold should secure record profits at the 1/2 way point.

Sure it will. But the GOP candidate will take great pains to point out that BP and Exxon/Mobil were also heavy contributors to the DNC, which is the way Washington works.

And as long as we re-elect incumbents at a rate of 90% or better, it'll never change. No politician is ever going to bite the hand that feeds his re-election war chest. House members never stop campaigning, having to face the voters every 2 years.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
