When does OPEC begin to squeeze us by the other ball that we have
left after the oil corporations have squeezed the first ball?

1. Give me some time to run down to the gas station this morning
and I'll let you know.

2. All can be found in cheney's energy task force
I look forward to seeing the poor white trash in South Mississippi with bush stickers on their pickup trucks trying to eke out a living paying at least four bucks a gallon for gas. They are getting what they voted for and what they want, death, destruction and despair, so far at the expense of someone else.

3. Nah, they'll blame it on environmentalists stopping the ANWR
drilling.

4. Actually, I do not think it is OPEC that is pushing this raise in costs.
We get only 20% of our oil from the ME and the rest comes from Canada, Central America and South America. I think it is the US oil companies themselves who are manipulating prices. They import the oil and raise their prices.
