Legislators have launched an official investigation as to why Speedway has increased its prices lately. Apparently Speedway is an industry trendsetter. Not Exxon-Mobil, BP-Amoco or Shell.

How about one of these ideas:
1) Massive hurricanes disrupted refinery output on the American coast.
2) Oil is harder to find
3) Oil is more expensive to extract
4) China and India are expanding and using more energy than at any time in human history
5) Unrest in oil rich regions
6) People keep buying gasoline at the increased prices. Why the fuck should they sell it at a reduced price?

Hopefully I'll soon be back in the "rational" red state of Tennessee.
For now it's alcohol and A Clockwork Orange

What? Clockwork now then the Shining later? I watched part of 2001 a few hours ago. Must be Kubrick night on HDNet Movies. I'm going to try to stay awake for as long a possible. It's me against Captain Morgan.
