Dim-Witted Gas Station Owner Sticks It to Big Oil
Despite the thin profit margin oil companies make in the risky business of providing us with the gasoline we need to survive, moonbats choose to blame rising oil prices not on government taxes, not on extravagantly expensive environmental regulations, not on boutique blends mandated by various states for various times of the year, not on the red tape that prevents the expansion of refining capacity, not on Dems who pander to envirokooks by refusing to allow drilling in places like the ANWR wasteland, not on Middle Eastern turmoil, not on Hugo Chavez's disastrous nationalization policies, not on shrinking supply, not on rising demand, but on the very people least to blame — the oil companies themselves.
Utterly illogical one-day boycotts have been called to teach oil companies a lesson. This has been so effective at increasing the supply of oil and thereby lowering the price that Wisconsin gas station owner Harvey Pollack is trying the same tactic.
Pollack estimates that shutting his pumps down for 24 hours will cost him $1,500. Since there are plenty of other stations around to pick up the slack, the cost to oil companies will be zero. Moonbats applauded Pollack for "making a statement."
Some people are so stupid, they don't deserve gasoline.

Here's a good one for you.
A bus driver in Gwinnett County, Georgia, was ordered by his supervisors to stop wearing his hat... he was wearing his American Legion hat in honor of Memorial Day.
Odd, though, they were allowed to wear other hats for other occasions, even a Santa hat.

New look?
Subtle, but I like it.

I intend to maintain my fast until lunchtime, come what may!
That will teach them!

I throw in my lot with Paul Moore...I will fast until breakfast, Cindy She-hag style. I've got to get to bed right now, though. I don't mind the sacrifice.

Yes, the poor, poor Oil companies! How they have suffered, bringing in the largest profits ever recorded in history.
Is that who is sponsoring this site?
