Today's rant stems from a story out of California where a near brawl went down outside of a Costco gas pump.
Apparently the lines are so long at Costco to save a few cents on gas that one "gentleman" could not wait to save his precious .20 cents per gallon. Needless to say, the man who was actual next in line was not too happy, so he told the "butter" to go to the back of the line.
Good for him! It drives me crazy when no one says anything to these conceded jerks (or should I say gooseknuckle)!
Turns out, the "line cutter" wasn't too thrilled at being put in his rightful place so he first pulled out his bird, and a few choice tweets, then went and got his tire iron and confronted the man who dared tell him he should wait in line with the rest of the crowd.
First of all, how in the world does anyone think they can get away with such stupidity without being pointed out on the 6 o'clock news? And secondly, is gas that precious to us all now that we're willing to throw out our humanity to save a lousy .20 cents?
Seriously though, what's with the gas prices?
I'll tell you what's with the gas prices. And sadly I have to say that Congress is getting it wrong again - it's not the oil companies screwing us over - it's Congress for the last 20 years screwing us over! 20 years of no drilling on our own continent and 20 years of selling ouselves to the Prnce of Saudi Arabia!
As I understand it, did you know that if we drilled for oil in Alaska, that we're talking about putting rigs in an area the size of an international airport? This, in the largest state in the nation and the least populated. Yet we won't even blink if we needed to build another airport in Rhode Island!
Let's not forget to mention that Congress has stopped us from drilling off of our own coastlines for the last 20 some years while China could drill less than a mile away in international waters! Hello! Something is wrong with this picture.
Drill already! And make it snappy! Before another gooseknuckle gets out his tire iron!
