"Gasoline prices could climb another 5 to 15 cents through Labor Day even if oil prices do not rise, analysts said."
Wasington Post

- The fun of being an analyst! If my theory is true and the analysts and speculators are on the same team (Big Oil - GW and the boys) then maybe we should call them analysts for all of the screwing they have done.

- Why do we have Oil companies? They all charge the same price, yet all get oil from different wells with different potential? How can that be? Maybe some things fall apart under free market theory. It is not a free market anyway when OPEC acts as a united entity and holds such a large stake.

Look at 7/7/2005 Picture for the effects of the London Bombings.
Also when you click on a city you see the stories and the cities it ties it to.

Oil $64!

Iraq occupation continues. GM will be largest corporate fatality (Their eco [ecologic / economic] plan revolves around monster Cadillacs and Hummers).

When will speculators be tried as war criminals.

Oil $62.50... More death in Iraq... Subway "voluntary" searches... London to deport "preachers" of hate...

Sounds like everyone is ready to let the government make the best decisions for them.

Oh wait! He's in Crawford! Voluntary? Preachers? Who has defined "Hate"?

To me it sounds like a revolution!
