Okay, just to give you a quick thought... as you know, the price of gasoline keeps going up and up and up and the media is eager to let everyone know about it. But I have two interesting observations about it.
(1) Why is LINO (Libertarian-In-Name-Only) Neal Boortz obsessed with people taking trips to Orlando? He continually uses it as an example of why he believes the rise of gas prices means nothing. SCREW DISNEY! How about demonstrating how the rising price of gas is affecting ordinary people doing ordinary day-to-day activities? How about showing how the rising cost of gas means less money available for other things? Oh, I forgot... that would make the rising costs look like a BAD thing, wouldn't it?
(2) Am I the only one who is noticing the hypocrisy from WSBTV's website? Every time there is a video segment on gas prices you have to watch a commercial from a local dealership trying to sell their fat-ass gas-guzzling urban assault vehicles!
"Hey, gas prices are going through the roof, and we've got a video for you that will show just how badly you're going to get raped in the wallet over it... but first here's a commercial for a fat-ass gas-guzzling urban assault vehicle!"
"You're going to go broke trying to get around this summer, but first we want you to buy this fat-ass gas-guzzling urban assault vehicle!"
"The economy is about to go right into the crapper this summer... but first here is a message about a fat-ass gas-guzzling urban assault vehicle that we want you to spend money on!"
I'm sure the connection is unintentional from the web-dudes. It's probably stuck in a program somewhere. Still it is worth noting.
