theksbwchannel.com— Crude oil prices hit an all-time high Wednesday, above $98 a barrel and analysts say with worldwide oil demand rising -- it is still not clear just how high prices will go.

I, frankly, don't give a fat rat's rear-end about what people are paying for gas in England or Japan or Botswana. I live and work in California and here, unlike many other places, you need a car to survive. This isn't New York City or Paris, France. Thanks to our Democrat-controlled power structure, the state has no truly effective public transit systems and a highway system that's under-maintained and over-burdened. California can't import cheaper gasoline from out-of-state sources because of the overly restrictive air pollution regulations. Face it...we are overly dependent on foreign oil while no genuinely viable alternatives are being considered. No refineries have been built in the last 20 years and oil rigs, both on- and off-shore, are shut down by environmentalist extremists. Almost one-third of what we pay for gas goes to taxes that are supposed to be used for highway maintenance and other infrastructure needs, but, in actuality, disappear into a general fund to supply condoms to pre-teens and fund legislation on the use of feng sui in state government buildings. Idiocy, sheer idiocy...
what about my statement was jerky? if i said something like. your inability to detect sarcasm makes you a dolt, then yeah i can understand being called a jerk.
Smug as I may be, I still find it hysterical that Americans are surprised at the prices they are paying at the proverbial 'pump'. You have gone and borrowed your economic future (to the tune of 6 trillion dollars) to pay for a war that has only aided in destablizing a region already fraut with conflict. Used the scent of positive short term financial gains to justify an risky economic loans. And added to all of this wonder a wing nut still sits in your office of President whom has no regard for human rights, or others for that matter, running your country. To be frank I am shocked that you have gotten as far along as you have with out some major consequences as of yet.

Demand is high, supply is low, and regulation is preventing more oil companies from entering the business.
