More for Oil Less for Food

Yesterday several news agencies reported that oil producers turned their highest profits ever during the time where gas prices hit the $3 plus mark. Yet they still say they aren't gouging consumers. And, why isn't this everywhere in the news? Where's the outrage?

Warm Delicious Oil

Let me get this straight. They said they were jacking the price of gas up to compensate for lost revenues during the hurricanes due to decreased capacity of refinery productivity. Hmmm that seems like a pretty OK thing to say. . . Gas prices surge on the news. . . Hmmm I guess that makes sense. . . Oh, Wait! The consumer is taking it in the gut while Geedub and his oil cronies are raking in more than .99 cents a gallon. WTF?! Trickle down economics at its best. Too bad the trickle is warm, yellow and smells of ammonia.

Geedub doesn't just hate the poor, he is chopping them up into bite sized, srewable morsels and passing them around to all his frat brothers for a grand circle jerk.

I am finding it harder to remain on task recently. Is it fall? Is it the fluoride in the water? Is someone trying to sabotage me? Are there aliens monitoring my soup intake?

I am sure there are important things that the world should be concerning itself with, but when god is so busy jacking up coastlines and fault lines who am I to argue? Obviously the big guy is pissed about all those adulterers, miscreants, homosexuals and poor people. I am pretty pissed at the poor people too but I can't recall thinking I should off them with a good ol' dose of plague and pestilence. But see, that is why I am not the "omniscient being" in control of earth, wind and fire (I would have had them stop after their first album personally).

The leaves are changing, the wind is blowing and global warming is still a theory. Welcome to the United States of God!

From the Serene to Serenity

I think everyone should get off Harriet's back. Come on, just because she is the silent sidekick of the Bush administration does not mean that she should not be considered competent. We know that Gee Dub has a terrific track record when it comes to bringing on folks that are not only terrific financial backers of his administration but downright great leaders too.

We love you Brownie, now go home to your horses!

Jenn and I just got back from Serenity. Good flick. Nuff said.

Anyone ever get the feeling that they are being watched? Not in the grand conspiracy sense of things, but just watched. You know, like when your friends call you on your shit that they shouldn't have noticed. Why can't I remember things well enough to call people on their shit? Maybe its the beer. Dortmunder Dark tonight. Not quite enough to forget things yet but enough to help the salad go down. Hmmm.

I think I poisoned Jenn this morning. I had the bright idea of rebuilding my old bike. I bought a new bottom bracket, Head set and rear wheel. I bought paint and primer and spent several hours stripping cleaning and getting things ready to put back together. I painted yesterday and because it was going to be in the 20's overnight I decided to bring it in the apartment to dry. I put it in the back, shut the door, opened a window, and put the fan on. I wouldn't want the fumes to make me sick, right? Jenn came up last night and by 7:00 this morning was so nauseous she could barely make it to the bathroom to throw up. Hmmm, I wonder what the problem might be? I moved her out to the living room opened up the window. I took the bike frame outside and low and behold she started feeling better. Sure, I felt dizzy but that isn't so far from the ordinary. She's doing well but I am going to have to watch Jenn. I wouldn't want a murder-one rap hanging over my head, now would I?
