Oil Shortage Explained
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical.
Our oil is located in Alaska, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Our dipsticks are located in Washington DC.

Bright? All the gold in California is a bank in Beverly Hills in someone else's name. Just like the profits from the pitiful little oil we actually own on our soil. Such a stupid straw man.

I listened to someone on CSPAN the other day tell us that we pay more for designer water than we do for gasoline . . . so what are we complaining about?
I don't know -- I guess I really liked paying only 25 cents for a gallon of gas.
On the other hand, given the amount of gas that we keep getting from the Nation's capital, there really should be NO shortage at all.

I'd burn something else if I had it. I can't make my own unless I set up a still. Hey wait a minute!

I once said that I would quit driving before I ever paid 60 cents for a gallon of gas. I'm glad that it's not 60 cents anymore.
