So there's another Big-Ass Storm heading for the US. And baby, it's gonna be a doozy...
Remember when gas spiked to $3-plus a gallon after Hurricane Katrina? By this time next week, that could seem like the good old days.
...
We could be looking at gasoline lines and $4 gas, maybe even $5 gas, if this thing does the worst it could do," said energy analyst Peter Beutel of Cameron Hanover. "This storm is in the wrong place. And it's absolutely at the wrong time," said Beutel.
Ah, how do you spell reseshun again? I wonder what those christo-fascist whack-jobs who were so quick to condemn the "immorality" of New Orleans and its being singled out for some kind of "divine punishment" have to say about the destination of Rita? Is it punishment for keeping Preznit What Global Warming and the Bugman around for all these years?
I hope that the warnings of the National Weather Service are heeded by the residents of the Texas Gulf Coast. I feel bad for the New Orleans evacuees who are having to bolt twice in less than a month because of the wrath of Mother Nature.
My thoughts are with the East Texans about to have their lives up-ended by nature. I hope that the Government treats you better than the folks north and east of you over the next 96 or so hours and beyond.

The country may soon be suffering through recession, but I'm suffering through depression right now.
No doubt there'll be legitimate physical reasons to raise gas prices, but who's watching the oil companies to make sure that they don't gouge consumers on top of it all? After all, while the public was told that OPEC was to blame for rising gas prices this past year, Exxon reported record profits.
