Pitter-Potter of an Economy in Turmoil

Just when you think the oil cry-sis can't get any worse, the five leading oil-consuming nations got together over the weekend to see how they could fix the problem with the oil-producing scumbags. Their answer? Can you drill more oil for us?

I think it's evident by now that we, especially the U.S., have more oil at our disposal than five years ago. Case in point: three rapings by our governement, at taxpayers' expense and at the financial benefit of Bush's and Cheney's oil buddies. Those three cases, in no particular order?

  • Tapping the Alaska pipeline;
  • The invasion of Afghanistan and installation of the natural gas pipeline out to sea; and
  • Reason for invading Iraq number three: it will save us at the pump.
This is where 50% of the U.S. population does suck, because you continued to back Bush and Cheney as "good men," while their buddies (and they themselves) profit from the pain we continue to feel at the pump.

When you add the ass-clowns at Goldman Sachs, the most active bank in energy investment, predicting a barrel of oil will shoot up to $200 this year, you have to think at least the moderately stupid would jump up and shout, "Collusion!" Too bad that report was muffled by another episode of American Idol.

Not the case? Why? Because some people suck. Now that the president you voted for because in 2000 he promised to control gas prices (You're idiots if you believed a word of it.) is sitting back and watching his buddies anally rape us at the pump and doing nothing about it. Why should he? He's a good man in your eyes.

Hm? Hm?

Here's a thought!!! Wouldn't it be more efficient if all bills submitted in both houses addressed only one subject and had a limited number of pages depending on the gravity of the bill, e.g., a bill concerning impeachment would have the upper limit, a bill addressing the attire of pages, male and female, 1 page. It is unrealistic to expect the Senators and Congressmen to read these voluminous bills in their entirety and to expect their aides to find the 'gotchas' buried in the depths of the manuscripts as we have seen in the bill to approve going to Iraq. If I am being too easy on our esteemed legislators, please correct me; but please keep in mind that, not only do they have these duties to perform, they also have to go on junkets to faraway places, attend lavish dinners given by corporate lobbyists and make the occasional dangerous journeys to war zones in anticipation of running for president. Please do not complain about the cost of helicopters and military personnel to keep them safe. After all, one senator has walked the streets of Iraq countless number of times all alone in front of the cameras and another had to duck sniper fire carrying a Gucci purse. And WE complain about our jobs. My hat is off to our Congress. Can you help by giving us more ideas to streamline their work on the floor? Thank you!
