Thanks, retards. Mostly, thank you Governor. Thanks to you, the price of gas couldn't rise to the point where people consumed less and now we have artificial shortages. Thank goodness I filled up regularly on Wednesday.

At $5/gal, some folks might decide they only need a half a tank until maybe the end of next week when gas prices might naturally go down.  Instead, it's all "Hey, it's still less than $4/gal, let's fill up now while the stations are afraid of being accused of "gouging." You'd hope that anyone deciding anything about market prices has actually taken a course in economics.  But that class is only a half-credit requirement for graduation in Georgia.  Keep those kids just smart enough to pay bills, but not quite smart enough to know better when politicians make bad decisions.

Thanks again, lame duck.

FORTUNATELY, wifey and I carpool, but we've managed not to buy gas since September 6th at $3.49, but that may end today... if we can find any. I cannot imagine why it has taken so long to push through a quick end to the "summer blend" that we use. But yes, I agree, I cannot wait for Poordoo to be voted out.
