Gas Prices
Within an hour's time, gas prices have gone up 9 cents here. They're now 3.09. Found it to be ironic how * had to mention gas prices while talking about homeless, sick and dying people in NO. Looks like he's trying to pass the blame. The man sickens me.

Interesting site:

5. a lil comic relief
I got out of bed this morning,
Got in my car and turned the key,
Then I called outta work and I went back to bed,
Because the needle was on "E".

I can't afford my gasoline.
The prices have become obscene.
They're up 5 cents a day. Who has that kind of green?
I can't afford my gasoline.

I've got a friend who bought a hummer, (hum v yeah)
One of those gigantic trucks, (he don't give a... darn)
But he can't drive since he maxed out his credit cards, (tough for him)
Because his mileage really sucks. (six whole miles)

He can't afford his gasoline.
The prices have become obscene.
Too bad he had to buy that gas guzzling machine.
He can't afford his gasoline.

Who are the people making money (stack them chips)
While the rest of us are hurtin? (choose gas or food)
Big oil companies, their shareholders, and friends (scratch my back)
Go ask those guys at Haliburton (I'll scratch yours)

We can't afford our gasoline.
The prices have become obscene.
Unleaded regular, forget about supreme.
We can't afford our gasoline.

We can't afford our gasoline.
The prices have become obscene.
You'll get screwed at the pump, so bring your vaseline.
We can't afford our gasoline.

"That hybrid car doesn't seem so queer after all..."

15. I kinda wish I went hybrid last year when I bought new. Thanks for
the laugh. I'm staying home this weekend rather than spend the $60 on gas. I wonder how many else are bagging Labor Day weekend and staying home.

6. All they need is an excuse to gouge.
Lord knows Bush would never do anything to stop them.

9. I don't particularly like going over there............
Makes me feel in need of a shower. Ugh. However, I was surprised by this quote........not.

"Give it a few weeks it will all be better. Except those people who died, they wont get better."
