Down

... the price of gas, locally, to $3.48 per gallon. Don't spend that penny-per-gallon savings all at once, kiddies.

... the temperature this morning, to 9 degrees. AccuOops Weather* is threatening us with 33 degrees and a rain/snow mix tomorrow, to make up for getting it right today.

Link o' the day here, notable for everything it says. Excerpt:

I alternate between despair and hope for this nation.  The lessons of history are merciless.  The best you can do now is fight for reform, prepare for collapse, and network with like minded individuals ...

How would you like to live in a world where,

Bribery is just the cost of getting things done.
Honesty is a quaint notion, something for the little people.
The Law is used as a club to beat those who aren't properly connected.
Hard work is for suckers.
Success is punished, so hide your success away from the eyes of others and the taxman.



* "We got the forecast right, but it was a mistake."

Just read over at Instapundit that Shell will not be doing any drilling off the Alaskan north shore this summer after having had their drilling stopped this past summer due to the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Shell says the instability in rules and regulations on just about everything have forced them to make this decision.

With this crew currently in control, $5 gas is going to look pretty cheap in a year or two.
