The Day Before Monday

Once again it's Sunday and I find myself sitting here trying to think of something to post to my blog. I lead a rather normal and mundale life so it's not as if there's excitement abounding all the time. Between work and taking of the vehicles and home there's not a lot of room to do much of anything else. It doesn't help that gas prices have once again skyrocketed and I feel a certain amount of guilt at going anywhere. The thing that bugs me about the gas situation is I never seem to hear a real reason for the price increases. There's always some lame reason such as the "concern over the situation in Iran" or "that there may be a shortage" because of this or that or something or other. Then I read that Exxon has record profits and they paid one of their CEO's or managers or whatever $400 million when he retired. Well, in my mind, guess who's paying for this bozo's retirement? But, I don't know what the solution is. The President and our useless Congress want to have this investigation or that committee look into price gouging or oil company profits but it's all a sham. They're all bought and paid for and we suffer. When will it end? Once the average American wakes up and decides enough is enough. When will this be? Not any time soon, I'm afraid.
