Of sports and the rising cost of oil
Since the liberals don't want us building any new refineries (or, for that matter, using the ones we actually have), the next few months post-Katrina should be intriguing as we watch the price of oil, the price of gas, the cost of heating our homes when winter comes, rise like hot air balloons. President Bush is releasing the stockpile of oil, but it must then be refined. Expect to be paying at least $4.00 a gallon for gas by next week. (I wonder how much $$$ it'll take to fill the tanks on those minivans I always see zipping desperately into the Starbucks parking lots, loaded to capacity--don't they seat, like, 10 soccer players?--with precisely one slim, elegantly dressed woman on a coffee hunt...)
And that $4.00 a gallon is just the beginning...
Sports--the families of Peyton Manning and Bret Favre are all okay, though Bret Favre's mom rode out the hurricane in her attic, which is probably one of the most dangerous places she could have gone. And the Houston Astrodome will house as many refugees as it can hold.
