Bad Gas

I wonder if right wing talk radio, whose listeners love to hump their misconception of the idea that free markets should dictate every aspect of reality, will be able to afford to drive the cars they use to listen to Rush and Sean in the coming days and weeks, or if they cannot afford to do so already.

The reality that we need to nationalize the oil and airline industries is becoming more and more apparent to me. And yet, I think we as a country are going to end up like that family that prays for their cancer to go away instead of seeking medical treatment, but I digress...

What I do know is that soon I will not be able to afford to drive to that protest nobody is starting (including yours truly) and showing up for. Then again, how would or should one go about protesting $4.43 9/10 a gallon for gas?

Anyhow, here is a map that shows you what people are paying throughout the country...

Hold on, it is only going to get worse.

Lesson of the day

Here's a great nugget from Rush Limbaugh:

"The important question for John McCain today is, is he going to learn the right lesson from this, and what is the lesson? The lesson is liberals are to be defeated. You cannot walk across the aisle with them. You cannot reach across the aisle. You cannot welcome their media members on your bus and get all cozy with them and expect eternal love from them. You are a Republican. Whether you're a conservative Republican or not, you are a Republican. At some point, the people you cozy up to, either to do legislation or to get cozy media stories, are going to turn on you. They are snakes. If the right lesson is not learned from this, then it will have proved to be of no value. There's a great opportunity here for Senator McCain to learn the right lesson and understand who his friends are and who his enemies are. He's had that backwards for way too long. He has thought the New York Times is his friend. He has thought Chris Matthews and these other people in the Drive-By Media are his friends. They aren't. That's the lesson today."

Emphasis Added.

Ahhh....I love the smell of zombie brains in the morning!
