I was going to rant about gas prices since they kept me at home this weekend, thanks in no small part to public overreaction to hurricane IKE (before it even made landfall). And since I live about 10 miles from my garage, a couple of trips there and back are a big deal to me when gasoline is so high. But to make a long story short, local gas was $3.49 a gallon last Monday. By Friday afternoon (again, while IKE was still out in the gulf) it had risen to $4.25 in most places, prompting our governor to declare a state of emergency in order to freeze prices and stop the gouging. Total. Utter. Bullsh!t.

I think it's about time we put someone in the White House who knows how to think and can deal with these sort of things. The current occupant seems unable or unwilling.

Over and out.
