It's probably too little too late. We might have had a chance if Reagan
hadn't gutted Carter's energy initiatives 25 years ago. Since that time
it is estimated we have burned up an additional 20-25% of the world's
total supply of oil.




Bush is an incompetent POTUS who mismanages about everything he tries.
He's done nothing of consequence to promote energy conservation,
probably because that would interfere with the profits of his buddies in
the petrol business.

Bush's pooched policies in Iraq are a direct cause of what is happening
at the gas pump because of the political fall-out in the Middle East. I
haven't looked yet, but I'm sure I can find a chart that shows what has
happened to gasoline prices during the Bush mis-administration.

Thie country cannot afford any more of George W. Bush. On election day,
hopefully, American voters will turn him out of office, perhaps by
numbers large enough that preclude another FIX by his rabid supporters.

I'm almost feeling that there is a possibility the Senate might change
hands, too. Maybe. The polls are showing the voters want real change,
and an upheaval in Congress is a good place to start.

It's too bad the House isn't more closely matched. If it were, there
would be real hearings taking place now.



Found a credit card receipt for "regular grade" gasoline I bought in
June, 2001.


$1.349 a gallon at an Exxon station in Alexandria, Virginia.


I paid $2.09 yesterday for regular at Exxon.
That's what...about a 55% increase in three years, or about 18% a year
since Bush assumed office.


Thanks, Dubya.
