My favorite cat (next to my little EvinRude) understands.
But, the rest of us don't seem to understand why we have an oil shortage.
It's simple, really, according to Garfield.
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
It's a matter of Geography.
Our oil is located in Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Wyoming, Kalifornia, Colorado, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, and off the coasts of Florida and Louisiana.
Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington.
Gas prices, while we sleep, are not creeping up anymore. That stopped a week ago.
We sat by while they sneaked up.
Usually in the middle of the night, while we slept.
A penny here, a penny there.
We said nothing when they inched towards $3/gallon.
Now, without a single apology, the gas dictators add a nickel today, another one while we sleep...there's no end. Of course, along comes an excuse in the form of "un-rest" in a country far, far away.
Have you even looked at a map to see where Libya is?
Why, I ask, does anything happening in Libya have anything to do with the price I spend at the pump in North Carolina?
Our "media", at first, threatened us with predictions of $4/gallon gas by summer. Too late. Some places, it's already there. Latest threats are that it will top out at $5/gallon.
Garfield has this one right.
What are we going to do about it?
We did a lttle. Last November.
But, there remains an overabundance of dipsticks in D.C. When is "enough--ENOUGH"? Aren't you tired of being subjected to the gas dictators? It seems that we're just plain scared to say anything. Too many hide under the sheets when we hear someone kicking in our front doors. Like that's going to help.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It's time for a real change. Not one of those camapaign Bravo Sierra promises for a change. It's time that those we elect to represent us to give us a workable solution to this most current crisis. .
Today.
No more reprieves.
We are being taxed, but I fail to see where we are being represented.
Therefore, as it was more than 200 years ago, we have
"Taxation Without Representation".
That was the political battlecry then.
And, we had a revolution.
Perhaps it is high time that we have another one.
Not on the battlefield, but at the ballot box.
Please remember this as we head towards 2012.
That's our next opportunity to remove another batch of dipsticks.
