BloggeRhythms 2/21/2011

A ticker on one of the news channels showed that oil prices increased by more than $4.00 per barrel this morning. I guess that's because the Libyans have joined the Middle-Eastern new trend of protest, revolt and riots. I'm sure Quadaffi will try to quickly fix the problem by executing all the dissidents he can find, but in the meantime, we're going to continue to go broke here due to issues that have absolutely nothing to do with us.

So, while bleeding heart conservationists who care about nothing but the survival of the red-crested pond hopper, or some schools of fish, our whole nation of real people is deciding whether to buy food or fuel with the few cents they may still have left.

And what's most incredible is, as bad as our economy is, with no real signs of recovery until the next election, our energy problems are self-inflicted. This nation could turn energy prices upside down overnight by simply permitting drilling for oil, but that's not going to happen anytime soon simply because of delusional political policy. Yet, that might be due for a change.

Because as the taxpayers in Wisconsin are showing, there comes a time when enough's enough and they're fed up with paying increasingly more for inferior products, which their teachers certainly are. So, if Wisconsinites can tell their educators to pack up and take their unions with them, perhaps the driving public will wake up and demand government finally do something about the price of fuel. Because I don't think most folks cast their votes to insure that some Sheiks in countries whose names they don't even know can afford whole new herds of camels and goats.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
