WOW, REDICULOUS...

Ive been really busy and havent watched any tv for a week until last night (just watched my boy Glenn Beck, though). I just don’t understand how news channels can just flat out ignore things or take opinion or biases on events. Maybe theres been other big things going on; Japan clean up, severe weather? Maybe it isnt as big of a story the second time around within a few year period?

Either way its times like these I love my 4 cyl 5 speed Honda accord. I get around 31-33 on the highway and average about 28 total in that sucker. Also whats scary is it’s not even summer and you have to think gas prices are gonna continue to go up. Every year I talk about how im going to buy an oil price etf before summer. This year I finally did around late January/early feb so im slightly hedged.

I honestly think a sustained 6 dollar mark will have a drastic impact on our economy. Most people I know are cutting back and/or changing their driving habbits. This time around people are more prepared or more ready for it, but after a couple months of paying 4 dollars and IF prices continue to rise to 6 or so people are going to be hurting big time.

Either way I guarantee you new networks wont be ignoring headlines of 6 dollar gas, even 5 dollars might be psychological barrier when news stations starting focusing on Pain at the Pump 2011
