It probably had some political stuff in it. The mods will not edit out the political part, they will just poof the entire thing. Try to repost without any political references. That's worked for me, in the past.

Will it hit the $150 mark today for the 4th like some predicted?
Will we have $5.00 for gas by Labor Day?
More lips moving about Iran and U.S. stock piles are down and dollar getting weaker and blah, blah, blah.....
$146+ for Brent right now and RBOB at $3.58+
Whatever, a nasty game being played on the backs of the masses where many are being hurt big time.
Sad part, IMO, is that some are still able to wear rose colored glasses and see things as being happy, happy.

Threats in the Middle East are a constant but yet always are given as a reason for higher speculative prices.
At this rate, it will be well over $200 a barrel by the end of summer. It wasn't that long ago when Drudge had headlines of oil approaching $100 per barrel and look how far we have come.

Now the TV drive-by media is "Hinting" about a possible attack by Israel on Iran.
From the way the price is climbing, if that were to happen, you might as well park your vehicle.
At least Starbucks won't be fleecing as many folks for a cup of Joe, with the closing of 600 stores.
10 cups of coffee = 13 gallons of gas.
We need some more Favicons to better reflect our current economical situation.

But, no one has to go to Starbucks for coffee. They can buy a cheaper cup of it elsewhere or make it at home. Can't make a cheap gallon of gas at home, nor go to a competitor that sells it a lot cheaper.

Yes, there's nothing sadder than people with a healthy sense of perspective. Can't they see how horrible our lives are? Why can't they focus on that quarter-empty part of the glass and spend their lives being miserable because everything isn't perfect?

THE glass is much more than quarter empty, maybe quarter full. Rose colored glasses make nice viewing but fail to alter reality. Perfect is no longer a goal real or imagined, sort of ok would be great.
Focus on reality!!!!
