Sick of High Gas Prices?
If you'd like to get REALLY depressed read the not-so-fine print on the "Energy Bill" (Senator John McCain called it "No Lobbist Left Behind"), where over 3 billion dollars in subsidies and additional tax breaks have now been granted to oil companies.
Are we mad yet?

Schmootzie,
The American public will NOT pay attention unless there's a penis involved in the Energy Bill. Or a runaway bride, or Michael Jackson, or a missing white woman in Aruba.
I heard on Air America radio--Al Franken? that the oil companies made a NET profit of 5 billion in the first quarter, well maybe it was 3. Billion. Net. Profit.
And they received subsidies.
But a national health care plan is SOCIALISM!!!!!
In that case, someobody needs to paint some tits on the oil barrels pronto!
I'm consistently amazed by the people who fuck themselves at the voting booth election after election, and are so numbed and blinded by rhetoric that they don't even feel the abrupt and unlubricated penetration.
I was wrong about the net profit.
It wasn't $5 billion or $3 billion, it was $7.8 billion!!!
Nice.
Bush's base: Happy to take it up the barrel every chance it gets so long as Bush bows his head and says "Jesus is Lord"
Apparently, repeating the mantra "jesus is lord, jesus is lord" allows one to ignore the pain of unlubricated penetration!
Pardon me if I don't test out the hypothysis(god, I hate that firefox doesn't have spell check).
