Ouch! I cannot believe that a gallon of gasoline costs more than $3.00. This picture shows the price of gas here in Oak Harbor, Washington. Yeah, I know, it’s not as much as other countries. Fuck them! Other countries don’t have oil, we do. There’s no reason we should be paying this goddamned much.
And to add insult to injury, the oil companies announce record profits for the quarter. Fuckin’ DUH! If you gouge us at the pumps, of course you’re going to turn a profit! And this fat bastard gets a $400 million retirement salary! So, while the common people are digging in their couch cushions, looking for nickels and dimes amongst the lost remote controls and crumb-covered Milk Duds to fund our addiction to fuel, Lee Raymond is lounging around on his yacht counting his four hundred million dollars.
If that cocksucker in the White House (who’s playing “President” like 8 year old boys play “Cowboys and Indians”) wasn’t a former oil executive, he’d do something about it. Maybe if the oil corporations weren’t allowed to lobby and get their way, engine manufactures could produce an engine that could get 200 miles to the gallon. But we don’t live in Fantasy Land, and the oil companies must produce gas for inefficient internal combustion engines that haven’t changed much since the 19th century!
I could bitch more about expensive gas, but what’s the point? Things aren’t going to change until it’s a crisis (remember Y2K?). We all just have to face facts. We’re dependent on oil. Our economy is based on oil, and we don’t have enough. They could charge $19.999 a gallon, and us poor fuckers would buy just enough to ride our lawn mowers to work.
