I realized just how much filling up the tank in my car hurts the pocketbook the other day when it cost me roughly a thousand dollars for a full tank. Ok, I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was expensive. I know everyone is complaining about the cost of gasoline at the pumps right now, and for good reason. We are a country which has access to our own natural resources. But for some reason, we insist on allowing idiots to dictate what we can and can’t do in this country.

We have enough petroleum to last several centuries, yet we’re not allowed to use it because God forbid, the tree huggers would have our heads. We’ve put ourselves in this predicament by allowing groups of whacko environmentalists to cry us into a lull with their sad stories about “global warming”.

If only for a time we could be like Saudi Arabia, where they have gasoline at $0.91 cents per gallon. That would be the life, wouldn’t it? But then we’d actually have to drill into our own resources for that to happen and I hate to say it, but Democrats and Republicans make me sick because they’re both either too ignorant or too “political” to allow that to happen for the betterment of their own “beloved” country.

I’ve altogether given up on politics because both sides are completely full to the brim with idiots, liars and politicians instead of people who truly want to do something worthwhile for their country. In fact, I may even use my right as an American citizen not to vote in the upcoming Presidential election because I have absolutely no faith in either party.

On the other hand, I do enjoy five dollar coffees on a regular basis, so I personally don’t have much room to whine. So, I guess while the elections are going on, I’ll sit at home sipping my Java while griping about gas prices and calling the politicians names that they would probably have to look up to understand. All while remaining very comfortable in my home which is cooled by my Ozone depleting central air unit. Isn’t life grand?!
