The cost to produce a gallon of gas has not doubled in the last five years. But the retail price has doubled, even before this storm. Now the storm becomes another excuse for gouging even more.

Floating the city's dead

Wednesday, 10:46 p.m.

WWL-TV reporter Karen Swensen related a particularly sad tale from a region overflowing with sad tales.

One New Orleans woman waded through the streets of the city, trying to get her husband to Charity Hospital. He had died earlier and she floated his body through the inundated streets on a door that dome off their home.

I won't continue discussing matters with someone as ignorant as you seem to be. I don't suppose you've noticed the price of crude oil? Maybe you don't know gasoline is made from oil.

In any event, just blame it all on the evil Bush and his minions in the oil industry.

That is one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard. Do you live in a cave?
