Good comment about $50 oil and $1,200 gold today. That is a great avatar picture. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)

". . . some lame health care bill that isn't helping the economy." ----- Ah. But now my son can NOT be denied health insurance. The US free market $$ executives did NOT want him to have before. Hooray.

wow gas up 30ç a day; dang it BlackIce

" Its the whole government from Obama to your state Congressman ... do you think anyone in the White House really cares about you and me?"
Blackice: pretty much the way I feel too ... nice to see a Gas Buddy closer to my end of the spectrum ... interested in letting me add you as a GasBuddy?

Moammar Gadhafi's regime seems to be the main theme today.

"When driving down the highway in the left hand lane doing 70 on a 70" They might think they are going the limit, but the gauge might be calibrated wrong. If they would just keep right except to pass, there would be no problem.

Thanks for the reminder stipulating the origin of the DOE.  I had forgotten.  Coulda-shoulda guessed spawn of the Carter Admin', though.  turns the stomach to consider the potential consequences of the spawn of this present catastrophe “presiding” at the executive helm. All of these “alphabet Agencies” that are without Article I, § 8 authorization are metastases of a deadly cancer eating our Republic “alive”.  It's them, or US!

I applaud your actions. Folks ought to think about conserving,because our elected officials are not going to take any action. Right now there is no bar on speculation,it will continue and pump prices won't drop.

I hope when Americans hit the street, which I think is close to happening, the government is as understanding as they are with the people of Egypt, Liya, etc. It is closer than they think. Be a Buddy. Thanks.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
