Gas Prices Are High Because We Want Them That Way

Sin is geographical. ~Bertrand Russell

It’s time we have a talk boys and girls. And I know you wonder why I call you boys and girls when you haven’t been in the third grade for at least a couple of decades.

And you have understood about life and where baby rabbits come from for a good while too. And if you are so old you can’t remember the names of all the characters in Bambi I can sympathize with you.

Because I can’t remember any of their names either including Bambi’s.

So let’s get down to business and talk about gas prices. Because they are pretty high and maybe going a lot higher.

Why is that sisters and brothers?

Because.

Because we want them that way. And before you have a fit and start beating your head against the desk let me say that I am not talking about you personally. Or me either for that matter. I am talking about the “We” in the Declaration of Independence. As in “We the People” decided when we elected certain people that we wanted high gas prices. And the higher the better.

Are Teddy Kennedy or Joe Biden going to vote for legislation that will ease the regulatory burden so more refineries can be built? Because the bottleneck caused by too few refineries (especially after a hurricane or two!) keeps gas prices high. Are these guys and their friends going to vote for oil drilling in Alaska so the supply of oil can be increased?

Kristy Lee Cook/ Boston Marathon/ Iran/ Gas Prices

Oh It’s only been a week since I wrote a post here. It seemed like a lot longer when I thought about it. I decided to write about Yahoo Buzz and there top ten picks. Because obviously that’s what people are interested in reading or talking about and why not throw my fifty cents into the pile?

So I did numbers one through five over at Virginia Breeze earlier in the evening. And now while I am waiting for American Idol to tape so I don’t have to watch all the commercials I can do the rest.

Here. And since I started doing this several hours ago the list has changed. Why? Because the news waits for no man or woman I guess. Stuff happens. But Kristy Lee Cook is still up there and we have been following her exploits on AI. What can we say about her that has not already been said?

Not much. She’s a great kid with a bright future. So I don’t understand why she wants to get married at this point. And I DO understand why her boyfriend suddenly decided he needed to propose to her. Because I would have done the same thing in his situation.
