Why are gas prices going up? I really do not understand this situation. Oil prices are the lowest per barrel ever and yet we are still raising our gas prices at the pump. What ever happened to the oil companies being investigated by congress for profiting over $1B in a single quarter and charging more and more for fuel? I never heard anything else about it! What the hell is going on in this country? Did someone throw a few bucks at some lawmaker to make it all go away? People are losing their jobs, homes and lives because of the economy and some people cannot afford to fill up their tank these days and thats their only way to keep a job.
I cannot believe that oil is the ONLY product that is allowed to raise prices because of speculation.

Holy crap run for your life! It is here!! Now with 2532 confirmed cases of Swine Flu here in the US. They have been closing schools about once a week because of a confirmed case of Swine Flu. Oh well, in my field I have probably already been exposed to it umong much worse things over the years.
I'm still pissed that the local and even nationwide news channels are trying to freak everyone out. Thats all you hear about is the flu, and Casey Anthony here anyway which is another bullshit story I'm sick of. Anyway, since the Swine Flu is coming from Mexico, why are we still allowing them to jump the border? Go there on vacation/business? They need to shut the boarder down until it passes to stop the spread. Just my two sense anyway.
I have moved my blog to godaddy and it seems to be a little bit better than google's blog. I am still messing with some of the features, so please bare with me while I learn (again....) on how to manage this thing.
Ok so we have all heard about Swine Flu... I realize this is a serious issue that needs swift and aggressive action, but I mean come on. Why is the media so indulged in scaring everyone? I live in Orlando and everyday on the news they "break" a story concerning a "confirmed" case of swine flu in central Florida. Well, they lied. There are no confirmed cases in the entire state of Florida at this time. I agree there will be soon and there probably is at least one person in this state infected. But, the media really need to stop trying to make this country scared to even go out side.
