Nation feels great relief!

Good news for Americans this morning. Our presidunce good ol' uncle George has asked that fuel prices be investigated to see if possible price gouging is occuring. I know that this brings great relief to all Americans. Things happen when our government gets involved. Things like infighting, blaming, name calling, etc. Sorry to disappoint you, but that's about all that happens. Uncle George investigating oil is like saying to the fox," Hey! How's about you runnin' in there and checkin' on them chickens?" My prediction is that all of the congressman will piss and moan so that all the constituents will notice that they really do give a shit. Then oil prices will come down a little. After all it is in big oil's interest to keep these boys elected. Then the congressmen will all act like they alone made big oil bring down the prices. Uncle George will smile his idiotic cowboy smile, and the American people will go back to sleep until the next time.
What we really need here is a nationwide one or two day strike. Our oil companies say that gas is in short supply. Well if eighty percent of the workforce stayed home for a day or two gas prices would just tumble. The economy would falter and possibly those millionaires on Capitol Hill would maybe to something besides cover their asses and point.
There! I feel better now. "Hey nurse!" Bring me my meds!"
