who's the mad hatter today?

I vote for the CEOs of each of the oil companies that have begun raising gasoline prices on the "speculation" that hurricane Katrina "might" cause problems for the oil rigs. Guessing the billions of profit they make cannot be used to offset the spikes we'll be feeling at the gas pump. I fear what groceries and other commodities will cost when it hits $100 a barrel.

MammaD, if Teddy Roosevelt was around you'd see the big stick come out and bash those CEO's who have contrived the spike in prices by intentionally cutting back on refinery output over the last few years. Need proof, read the 10-Qs filed with the SEC and notice that profits are up 35-40%.
