i dont want to be too optimistic here but i noticed there has not been a major car bomb in baghdad in quite a few days.

never have I read such economic ignorance

based on the latest at the NYMEX for gasoline, we should see $3.15-3.30 within days as the national average.

New Orleans does have the most corrupt PD in the nation...they should send Rudy down to NO, to manage the situation

just proof that you cannot cow tow to the illegal immigration lobby

the rise in oil prices has notjing to do with the deficit, it has to do with the increase in money supply in 2001-03 when greenspan was worried about deflation

look at the economic data from Oct 1973 to late 1974..the embargo happened in Oct 1973, but massive job losses didnt occur until fall 1974.

you think Gingrich is RINO..how come..i think he is a lot of things but not a RINO

SPR will help if oil inventories fall too low...i agree we are a nation of whiners, but the SPR was built for supply disruptions and this might be one of them...in 2004 Bush released 20m barrels of oil after Ivan

you'd think that the airport would have

""The movie depicts panic spreading across oil markets, sending oil prices above $150 a barrel, while cars across the United States line up outside gas stations,""

high prices dont equate long lines....at $150 per barrle there wouldnt be gas lines...gas lines result when the price is set BELOW market price

yeah, i see and dont beleive there are 40 blends...in fact in 2001 the govt reduced the number of blends..since then there have been no summer price spikes localized in the midwest like in 2000 and 2001

effects of high oil prices take 12-24 month to work their way through the economy

""Katrina heads for Gulf Coast at 160 mph""

dumb headline

i think there are 13 different gasoline blends not 40

how would i know?

but i do know AL Qaeda wants to use suicide gasoline trucks to kills hundreds of people

well they arent calling for any surge or heavy waves in western LA or TX

my personal opinion is this is mostly likely terrorist related.

and what a great result that produced
