There is a bad, bad vibe in the air
The air is heavy and thick with a vibe that has not been here since 9/11.
And I think things are going to get worse.

Hug your loved ones tonight...because we'll need each other in the coming months.

5. I think the shit is gonna hit the fan
The lack of leadership, planning and responsibility is coming home to roost in a big big way. There's not denying the lack of planning and lack of leadership.

Personally, I'm expecting civil unrest in many forms.

No more fucking excuses and lies. It's time to come to Jesus in a big way you god damned republicans.

6. Oh, I expect riots this winter
Think about how expensive crude oil is...how many people are going to literally FREEZE TO DEATH because they can't afford heating oil?

Jesus fucking christ.

13. Fuel oil -
I called early yesterday morning to have my 500 gallon tank filled. I was quoted $2.45 a fucking gallon!! And August is the cheapest time to buy fuel oil.

As of this afternoon they still hadn't delivered - so I called again. NOW oil is $2.65/ gallon.


The last few years under Clinton - $.99/gallon. 2005 - $2.65 and RISING.

I hope you republican fuckers are enjoying your "tax cut". Assholes!

7. The country is still deeply polarized thanks to the neocon plan for
a "new America". I feel the oil prices will finally affect the economy big time and when they housing market goes south-we'll realize how much we all have been living on credit.

8. Good advice, WindRavenX
my gut feeling is that there are still enough good people in the world and somehow we will pull through, in the meantime, we do need to be there for our families and for one another

9. It is strong.
I don't usually lose my little optimistic streak but it started to fade yesterday and with all the bad news today it is gone. Out here in the middle of the country there seems to be a rumbling and it is not happy. It feels rudderless, like every man for himself and that always gets bad. I hope things begin to pull together but I do think it is going to get worse first. At least that is how I feel today, it is not a usual feeling for me. Bad karma in the air right now.

10. I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of the republicans
Even if they aren't directly to blame for this disaster (and obviously they aren't), they will take the rap for the slowness in getting New Orleans fixed, for the lack of immediate response from Chicken McAWOLCokeHead, and rising fuel prices.

The republicans are done, at least for one term.

11. The Prophet John Fogerty speaks
"Bad Moon Rising" - from CCR's 1969 masterwork, 'Green River'...

I see the bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.
I see bad times today.

Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a-blowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers overflowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
