$400 A Gallon Gasoline

I was shocked, this, the cost of gasoline moved to the Afghanistan front lines, no wonder we’re going broke! I read zerohedge.org, $194, a traffic ticket riding my bicycle, peddling through an intersection while DON’T WALK was FLASHING RED, on so many levels I am bothered by this! OK, here’s a partial list, I don’t have the money, I’m barley getting by, no jobs, damn it, I wasn’t walking! No, don’t shed no tears for me, I just wonder though, at what point is punishment deemed cruel and unusual? Well, guess someone’s got to pay, and you wonder why everyone’s walking around all pissed off, I’m in Hollywood, talk about walking around all pissed off, these streets are getting real mean, Wall Streets getting pretty mean too, Corzine called to testify before Congress to explain, I’ve heard, as to why they, our Congress were not warned in advance of MF Global’s collapse, why they weren’t afforded the opportunity for profit. I saw an interesting piece on pensions, it talked about some action Portugal had taken, accessing pension funds to offset their national debt, I really have a hard time following all this financial stuff, derivatives, Paper Bars of Silver and Gold, just can’t seem to wrap my brain all the way around a lot of this stuff, it talked about pension funds in the US totaling $16 Trillion, about our National Debt being beyond $15 Trillion, I know, seriously, would they really do that to all us Americans here??? Well I’m thinking the cats out of the bag, I’ve been reading about this for months, seems there could be 20 different names on a Paper Bar of Silver or Gold, here we go, the every man for himself kind of scenario, who am I kidding, this kind of play’s been going on a long time now, its just that all us common people, all have been picked clean, isn’t it wonderful seeing all these predators turning on each other now! I see a scramble going on, I suspect that paper bullion ain’t looking quite so good to anyone with any sense anymore, I heard once, treat your gold like you would treat your wife, really, would you have your wife watched over by another man? Well its bonus season now on Wall Street, just how in the hell are they going to put lipstick on this pig? There’s just got to be a better way, are there any patriots in the House, in the Senate, what about this last failed Budget Committee set up to save money, how much money was spent, was waisted, funding this failure, from the start, I knew it was doomed, but what the hell, what in the hell do I know! Paper Bars of Silver and Gold, you’ve got to be kidding me, just how in the heck do they get them ream’s to sparkle and shine, must take some kind of talker selling this kind of stuff, I guess its a lot lighter, more convenient, guess you could go off walking, carrying a lot more, guess you could light it up in a cold winter storm, guess it could keep you warm. Afghanistan, such a wonderful land, words of an old friend, he loved the people, he traveled the country before the Russian Occupation!
