Sinking Faster Than The Titanic?

This is a day of bothers. Driving back from the big city got downright depressing. There were several stations that just were not carrying regular unleaded. They didn’t have it. Sold out. On the other hand, a Randall’s store was carrying nothing BUT regular unleaded fuel. Smart folks. They’ll get more of my business, I think.

Fuel was right around $3.00 per gallon just about everywhere. It is really getting to the point to where I won’t travel outside the city limits unless I have to. We just can’t afford it.

I shudder to think what is going to happen this summer. I predict the economy is going to take a sharp smack upside the nose. People won’t travel as much this summer, unless they booked flights well in advance. The average American family won’t drive anywhere long distance this summer because of fuel costs. I don’t think the average family will be able to travel unless the place they are going to is within 100 miles of their home. That’s my prediction, anyway. It’s worth what you paid for it.

Have you noticed the price of your everyday items creeping up a little? I have. Think it’s not a fuel cost issue? Think again.

Possible solutions to the fuel dilemma:

1. Reduce dependence on foreign oil: Sounds logical, but how? The eco-weenies won’t let us drill in Alaska, despite the fact our economy is sucking worse than Britney Spears at an ice cream buffet. Hybrid cars? No way, not until they make one that looks and runs like a Ford F-250 and will pull a trailer. So start drilling ANWAR, you morons....

2. Take it from Iraq and Afghanistan: I’m all for this one. No, we didn’t go to war for oil. It’s a darn nice fringe benefit, though. To the victor go the spoils. They made us come over there, the least they can do is foot the bill.

2b. Take it from Mexico. Ok, fine. Keep aiding and abetting your people sneaking over here, we’ll start taking your oil. Fair trade, I would think. Our resources are dwindling, you’re allowing people to come here illegally, we don’t have the resources to support them, etc. Guess what? Time to pay the bills, pendejos.....

3. Cut the gas tax: Another great idea that our gutless politicians won’t even consider. Which is why it’s time to run ALL our politicians out of office, and start over with real people who work real jobs. I’m to the point that you probably shouldn’t be allowed to run if you’re a lawyer, either. That’s like putting terrorists in charge of airport security......

4. Harpoon Rosie O’Donnell and render her down for kerosene.

5. Go nuclear: Again, eco-weenies would hate it, but if it keeps the lights on safely, why not?

6. Figure out how to use self-satisfied smugness to generate energy: Tom Cruise and George Clooney could probably end our energy crisis by themselves. Put Hollywood to doing something beneficial, for a change.

At any rate, that’s the way I see the whole ridiculous situation.

DID YOU NOTICE....

The illegal alien/Hispanic/whatever they are walk-out today? Me neither. Maybe they aren’t as important as they like to think they are in terms of productivity. Now in terms of costs to the taxpayer, they are right there at the top.

Every one of the miserable wretches that DID walk out should get fired, unless they took a legitimate vacation day.
