Here we go again = $3 a gallon prices

Just when you thought it would go away...it's back.

The infamous $3 a gallon gas prices has returned to Southern California, and there is obviously no end in sight to the increase in gas prices, which consists of the following:

Right now the average price for regular 87 fuel in L.A. is 3.04 per gallon. That is a 38-cent increase from what it was a month ago, and an increase of 14 cents from last week. There was a 3-cent increase over the past 24 hours, and there is more to come of course.

Christmas day, fuel at a station near my home was $2.23 a gallon. It has increased 85 cents since that time.

And to top all of that off, crude oil futures are at $72 a barrell, which is an all-time record high. Four years ago, futures were as low as $20 a barrell.

When you add all of that up, and the reasons for these record-high levels (high demand, unrest in Iran and Iraq, etc); it all results into one common denominator:

GEORGE W BUSH

That's right, I said it. Ever since this idiot took office in 2001, things have gone south in a hurry in this country. 9/11/01...the illegal war in Iraq...threats for a war in Iran...and continuous illegal activities within the Bush administration.

If this guy doesn't get impeached soon, then this country is heading for serious trouble which I doubt any future president will be able to handle.
