It Just Keeps Getting Better!
Dear Readers,
Check this out: "Gas prices: Worse than '81 oil shock"! That's right, dear readers - our economy is about to be the best it's ever been! If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: a rising tide of Big Oil profits raises all boats!
Dear readers, what a week to celebrate. First, the one-year anniversary of "The Not-So-Humble Opinion of Theodore Trumblebunks." Now, an economy that is about to knock your socks off! Dear readers, make sure to raise your glasses high - what a time to party!
Dear readers - and Big Oil - thank you for loving America!
-Theodore Trumblebunks, I, Esq.

How dare you....that's it, starting with Yankee Memorial Day, I am abstaining from reading and posting in your blog for eight days.
Yours in anger,

Jack X,
I need your loyal readership! I'm just celebrating the free market, which you're a fan of too, right?
We're in this together!

All right, Ted, nice and easy,
I am a strong supporter of free market capitalism. It's one of the best things America has to offer, besides a voluntary military, good education, a constitution (in name only as some think). However, I am not a fan of price gouging, which oil companies have been doing for a long time. It's interesting that after Katrina, they jacked off prices very high and at Christmastime, they reported record-high profits. It's interesting that the price of a barrel of oil is about $13 cheaper than it was last year during the Israel-Lebanon conflict, yet gas prices are about 20 or 30 cents more expensive than they were during that time last year. There is something not right, and it is wrong for gas companies to get away with it. They are finding excuses to jack off the prices, many of them very minute (for example, why would they raise prices after VA Tech)--do they pump oil on that campus? Of course, I can go into the Iraq blunder where Iraqi oil was supposed to solve all the troubles and finances with the conflict, money that is either AWOL, like those weapons of mass destruction or not found yet, like Osama bin Laden.
The best solution is to ward off from oil and find alternate sources--something Bush has said several times in the past 1 1/2 years, and I actually agree with. Ethanol might be a good start; however, it's still more expensive than gasoline has ever been. Maybe hydrogen, electricity, solar power or something...something that is free or relatively cheap and renewable such that everytime somebody coughs, the prices don't change. Here are some suggestions: water (maybe salt, not tap, as there is much more of it out there), manure, witeout, chocolate, or alcohol. Have any other suggestions? The problem is that Big Oil's days are numbered. They had their shot, but nature is choosing them to be extinct. Before that, the railroad industry was powerful, and, today, they are a small blip on the radar. It's just time for a segue.
Still yours in anger,
Jack X
