Because it’s really starting to annoy me. I mean, first off, I don’t care. Second, no one has any actual plan to do anything about it (Congress can control gas prices about as much as they can the weather – unless they take away federal taxation on gas). Thirdly… well, I don’t have a third reason. I don’t need one. Just shut up about this before I punch you in gonads.
Neener neener neener! I don’t have gonads!!
It’s okay, Frank J. I solved this issue already.
You can read about it here.
Remember, Congress doesn’t control the weather, Bush and Rove do! Hence Hurricane Katrina. Bush also controls gas prices, which is why oil companies are making huge 9% profits!
I have a Prius, so I’m not whining – I’m smug!
Although, now that it’s costing over $30 to fill up its small gas tank, I have to give blood to afford to drive. Plus, I can’t afford food or medicine.
I think they should raise the gas tax so they can give us a rebate for the high price of gas!
What do you mean no one has a plan. I have a plan. It’s called War for Oil. The real kind, not the fake kind like we have now.
Frank J, can I have your $100 rebate then?
IMAO… I wish I knew how to quit you…
YES! I’m not the only one! Thanks Frank, you made my day! You tell ’em!
While my Exxon stock IS going up, I’m seriously considering selling the small 7.23 shares that I have to buy gas.
FrankJ, who are you kidding? You are now so popular you can sell punches to the gonads on EBay.
Congress CAN do something other than lowering the Federal tax. They can take the 30 blends of gas and legislate them down to 3, regular, plus and premium. Imagine you are one of the poor folk who for their entire lives just had to figure out how much of each to produce now need to also supply CA gas, MA gas, and all the other mixes mandated by the EPA and state legislatures. We can either train these people at Wal Mart for 3 years to learn how the pros handle regional differences, or pay $4.00 a gallon forever! I vote we return these people to a kinder, gentler environment, where MBTE, ethanol and all the other additives are the same.
Ooh! Ooh! I know the answer! Nationalize the oil industry so the government, which obiously knows so much more than the rest of us (look at their success rate at their other ventures!).
its impossible not to blame the white house when bush and cheney are both oil men and the iraq war has actually lowered the oil output from that country. plus they gave tax credits for giant gas guzzlin suvs for years and the bush admin borrowed tons of $ from china to pay for the iraq war which makes it very difficult for the bush admin to pressure china on anything. maybe we should just give the oil companies to dubai — that’s probably next on bush’s to do list.
Go fish, gastoohigh. Bush, Bush, Bush. Whiner, blimp, panty-waist. Get a freakin’ job and ride a bike, you lefto commo faggo pinko. I got your alternative energy, right here, yeah, right here. It cost me $15 to mow my lawn today. So what!!!

You think you’re smug? Check out my ride.
(HT to Jay Leno. I’m not good enough to write my own jokes.)
“Bush also controls gas prices, which is why oil companies are making huge 9% profits!”
I thought so! I saw that last year Exxon’s profit was 9.7% and this year it’s 9.4%. Since 4 is higher than 7, it’s a conspiracy! There, I’ve run rings around it logically.
Thank goodness they outlawed that stupid “free-market forces” thing long ago.
I say three cheers for high gas prices…maybe some people will be forced to sell their ugly, gas-guzzling hummers…
Or maybe some people will hum a happy tune while filling their beautiful, organically fueled Hummers, while laughing at those who actually thought they’d get better mileage with an overpriced hybrid. God, I love this country!
