    The latest laughable excuse for the rising cost of oil today is the "fear that a hurricane in the gulf region could disrupt off shore oil supplies."
    Does the hogwash never end? Any old excuse will do. Notice that there is never a REAL reason to raise oil prices; only more fear and speculation.

    What next?

    "Do to concerns that giant flocks of newly discovered IVORY BILLED WOODPECKERS could interfere with the vision of tanker truck drivers on the highways in our southern states, and therefore disrupt the gasoline supply, we must reluctantly raise the price of gas at the pump another few cents per gallon."

    Hey! Take it easy. These oil guys need help. Didn't you know that? I mean the Bush/Republicans (and yes some disgusting Democrats) just approved a $14.5 BILLION tax break to these guys because they need the help.

    America = Oil = Oil companies So if you don't love the gas prices then you're against Oil Companies and are therefore against AMERICA!!!!!

    LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT YOU LIBERAL BA$TARD$!!!!!!
