Hey, gas around here went down to $3.95 a gallon yesterday! Fucks yeah! Well, as Mr. Wolf said in Pulp Fiction, "Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet." That's still about a dollar higher than it was this time last year, and still god damned expensive. Oh, and as I write this it probably just jumped back up to $4.19.
As a short-term solution, we need to do a better job of finding oil here in the United States. It's arrogant to think the world owes us oil, and it's fucking stupid to rely on oil from people who hate our guts.
As a child, you were smart enough not to let your worst enemy from elementary school make lunch for you. Why? Because you didn't want to eat one of his turds between two slices of wonder bread, that's why. But our entire economy is dependent upon those who want us dead. That's a crazy way to live, and we're paying for it in more than just dollars.
In the long term, I don't believe it's wise to dig up all of America trolling for oil. There are environmental concerns as well as the simple fact that this country isn't as oil-rich as Saudi Arabia. Our oil will run out, and what will we do then?
Frankly, that's for smarter people to decide, but we need to invest in alternative sources of energy. For instance, I lived in Las Vegas and it's ridiculous that solar power isn't greatly utilized in that town.
We need a Bill Gates of alternative energy to step forward, someone who'll find a way to make a shitload of money off of it, because that's the only reason anyone will ever give a fuck. As a by-product of "new energy", scores of jobs will be created, jobs that can't be outsourced so a CEO can make an extra five dollars.
Or we could just invent a car that runs on the methane gas provided by farting cattle. Either way.

Holy shit, we agree on something!
My sentiments exactly.
Two men enter! One man leaves! Two men enter! One man leaves!
(that's because of the methane thing)
I'm willing to fart into gas tanks if I get paid enough.
Why did ubermilf have to beat me to the Thunderdome reference?!!
Yeah, gas here in southwest Missouri plunged below $3.60 yesterday, and that warranted a bulletin on our newspaper's Web site (and, presumably, a party at the pumps).
Conversely, I remember being angry in 2001 or so when gas shot up to $1.54, and the woman at the counter reminded me not to punch the pump. We were all so innocent then.
I use the Wolf's line as much as possible... love it!
I refuse to discuss gas prices as it makes me want to buy 5 extra gallons and burn a lot of shit down.
John, would you like to come over here for your testicle removal or shall I come over to your place? Either way's cool with me - my kitchen shears are very portable.
I like the methane idea. The only problem with it is that it's a natural resource and will run out eventually.
Now if we could power our cars on other people's stupidity, that's unlimited power there.
You are just begging for yet another blog fight, aren't you.
Bring your shears on over, darlin'. I'll make you a deal. If you can get to my nuts, their yours. If you can't, you not only have to refrain from voting this year, you have to get 2 of your girlfriends who are just as clueless about politics beyond "Oooh! He's cute and he wants to everyone to be happy!" to sit home as well. Deal?
I'm voting for Obama 'cause McCain totally has the cooties.
I'm voting for Obama because dour, humorless people with crummy politics hate him.
John's line about being clueless would have been so much funnier if he hadn't fucked it up.
He always gets flustered when he thinks about girls.
Yeah, I totally flubbed that one. But I talk girls to every day and I don't flustered at all.
You bore me.
