I agree Bush should have taken better control, but he probably wasn't counting on Nagin and Blanco being totally incompetent. Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco deserve more fault for being inept than the President. Laying all the blame for a natural disaster and its consequences at the feet of the President is foolish. Furthermore, if the people had listened to the calls to evacuate this would be a nonissue. And come on you know who Sheehan is. She is your hippy life coach and the source for all your blame America first propaganda. By the way SHE didn't sacrifice shit. Her SON, who was proud of his service to his country and reenlisted, sadly sacrificed HIS life for dipshits like you. Its obvious you are out of touch with reality especially if you have Ariana "horsehead" Jollee as an avatar so I will no longer respond to your tiresome rants.
Whoaaaa! Hold on there buckaroo.
Cindy Sheehan, George Bush, blah, blah, whatever...
You start trashing Ariana, then I gots a problem. Ariana is a lady and she deserves to be treated with respect.

You fuckers got 2 feet, start walking bastards...I WHEEL ANY where I possibly can and I can afford a lot of gas, although I need to be driven pretty much all the time now.
Seriously, everybody get off their asses and start walking more, the side benefits ALONE of that activity make it worth the effort, not to mention the money you will now be saving.
And I lived in So Cali for long time too, all over the place, so dont give me the bulshit that you cant walk there, it's possible. Get a firearm if you are worried about getting mugged. You are WAYYYYY more likely to die or be injured in a car accident in LA than be a victim of violent crime....
If everyone cut their gas consumption by 10% for at least 30 days, the effects would be profound and noticeable.

I told all you bastards to vote me in as President for life  , I would just take a portion of Iraq's oil to pay for the war.Also more refinerys are needed but the biggest move must be towards getting away from fossil fuels altogether although it may be decades away we need to research it now ( plus a cheap efficiant alternative to them would deal with the Saracen issue as well ).

nah Burg seriously, you cant walk in LA. Noone works closer than 10 miles from home and Public Transit is garbage. givin the average walk is what? 4 miles an hour? noones walking 2 1/2 hours to work each way. I run 4 miles every day for fun, and thats enough. A good percentage runs on the rat wheel at the gym, or stair steps for an hour to nowhere... Ill burn dinosaurs at $3.41 a gallon till mom flushes it all away if I have to, and I too can afford it.I just think it sucks thats all. I want people to be able to drive 10 cylinder super charged hummers that get 2 miles to the $.59/gallon until we all have to wear SPF 150 to be able to walk outside.... Bush/Oil Industry--->  <- American People

Nobody walks in LA doesn't have to be true. I live in Hollywood because all my errands are in walking distance. I walk to the grocery store, dry cleaner, salons, coffee shops, boutiques, and bank. If it's under 2 miles, I walk it. I love taking walks. A lot of my friends drive just to get 2 blocks away then they have to put in extra time at the gym to make up for it.
I think the only places I drive to are porn sets, porn companies, the gym, or the beach.

American oil company beats estimates on surging crude prices; stock gains. April 28, 2006: 10:54 AM EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chevron Corp., the No. 2 U.S. oil company, said Friday its quarterly earnings rose 49 percent to $4 billion, topping Wall Street expectations and sparking a 2 percent rise in the stock. The results came as U.S. consumer anger grew over high gas prices and Big Oil's gushing profits. On Thursday, Exxon Mobil Corp. (Research), the world's largest publicly traded oil company reported $8.4 billion in earnings -- its biggest first-quarter profit ever. Chevron (up $0.88 to $60.86, Research) first-quarter net income increased to $1.80 per share, from $1.28 a share, or $2.7 billion, in the year-earlier period. Analysts, on average, expected a profit of $1.78 a share, according to Reuters Estimates. "The outperformance was evenly spread through the divisions, with a particularly good performance in U.S. exploration and production (higher natural gas prices) and international refining and marketing (higher margins than expected)," Credit Suisse analysts said in a research note. Oil and gas companies are enjoying an unusually robust quarter, propelled largely by the surge in oil prices due to fears of supply disruptions and booming demand. Chevron's oil and gas production rose 10 percent from a year earlier, largely due to the Unocal Corp. acquisition. Chevron said it had substantially completed its acquisition of Unocal, the California oil producer it bought last summer after a bitter fight with a Chinese oil company. The Big Oil earnings reports have triggered a now familiar wave of outrage in Washington over the industry's profit bonanza. Responding to soaring gasoline prices, U.S. lawmakers and consumer advocates have stepped up calls for windfall taxes on oil profits and the repeal of tax breaks. chevron/bush/cheney/exxon/binladen--> <- you

Bush Rejects Tax On Big Oil Profits  (CBS/AP) In the wake of the latest oil company profit report showing much higher earnings, President Bush on Friday rejected calls in Congress for a tax on oil company profits, saying the industry should reinvest its recent windfalls in finding and producing more energy. "The temptation in Washington is to tax everything," Mr. Bush said in an exchange with reporters in the White House Rose Garden. Rather than for the government to reap the benefit from oil company profits driven by the recent surge in global oil prices, he said, "The answer is for there to be strong re-investment." "These oil prices are a wakeup call," Mr. Bush said. "We're dependent on oil. We need to get off oil." With gasoline topping $3 a gallon in some areas, Mr. Bush said energy companies should use their increased cash flows to build more natural gas pipelines, expand refineries, explore "in environmentally friendly ways," and invest in renewable sources of energy. "That's what the American people expect. They also expect to be treated fairly at the pump," he said. Mr. Bush's exchange comes in the wake of some congressional Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate promising to roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks for major oil companies. House Republicans refused to go along with a proposal that called on House members to accept a Senate-passed repeal of $5 billion worth of oil industry tax breaks. They are the subject of intense negotiations between the House and Senate on a broad tax bill. A resolution urging House negotiators to accept the Senate tax proposals failed 232-190, with only two Republicans voting for it. Meanwhile, a major American oil company has reported soaring first-quarter profits for the third time in three days, buttressed by near-record gasoline and oil prices. Chevron Corp.'s first-quarter profit soared 49 percent to $4 billion, joining the procession of U.S. oil companies to report colossal earnings as lawmakers consider ways to pacify motorists agitated about rising gas prices. The San Ramon, Calif.-based company's net income, reported Friday, translated into $1.80 per share, two cents above the average estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Financial. That compared to a profit of $2.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, in the same January-March period last year. Revenue totaled $54.6 billion, a 31 percent increase from $41.6 billion last year. "Higher earnings in the first quarter were primarily driven by the performance of our upstream business," chairman and CEO Dave O’Reilly said in a statement. "Prices for crude oil and natural gas were strong during the period." Chevron released its results after two of its biggest rivals, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil Corp., had already provoked public outrage with similarly large first-quarter profits. Combined, the three oil companies earned $15.7 billion during the three months of the year. Travelers are feeling the impact of rising oil prices at the airport as well as at the pump as airlines increasingly feel the pinch of rising fuel prices. In a hastily arranged news conference, Mr. Bush also criticized efforts to sing the national anthem in Spanish. "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English," he said. do you feel the burn yet?...Bush is giving you aids

I don't like being an apologist for Bush on this issue because I was against tax breaks for oil companies too. Sometimes I just get tired of the blame Bush for every ill in the world routine that has become tiresome, but he is Pres and that comes with the territory so it is what it is. All I can say is Congress passed the tax break that includes a hell of lot more people than just the Pres so I would just like to lay the blame to a wider scope of person. Therefore I need to amend your donkey punch animation Congress/oil---> <--me jrv I respect that you don't care if the national anthem is sung in spanish, but I do and if I go to a baseball game and they sing the national anthem in spanish that is the last fucking straw. I will become Timothy McVeigh part deux. So now I'm on my way out to buy a Vespa

McVeigh made his bomb using ammonium nitrate fertilizer sensitized with diesel. Even aspiring McVeighs can't escape high petroleum prices.
With respect to JRV, I am increasingly thinking that oil futures are the new dotcoms, in spite of Chinese and Indian consumption and all other long term factors. The big price spikes always seem based on fears (ie. war with Iran) than actual decreases in supply.
I can't think of any consumer benefit that comes from having an essential inelastic good like oil in the futures market, so I'd like to see it removed from speculative markets. Can you think of any reasons for oil on the futures market, JRV? I'm quite open minded to another perspective.

Predictable costs of raw materials.
Most manufacturers have to buy or lock in their raw materials long before they get paid by their customers. Also, most industrial orders aren't “10,000 widgets next week†but rather “100 widgets a week over the next five years, cancellable after 1 yearâ€.
If you get a big order for widgets that use a lot of oil as a raw material (plastics, etc) you may need to price the widgets well into the future for your buyer, yet the cost of your raw materials is uncertain. If the price of oil is currently $75 you might buy options (a “callâ€) to buy oil for $85, $90 and $95 at future points in time so that at least you have a known ceiling on your costs, letting you set prices for your buyer with some idea of your profit, or at least a worse-case loss.
Those options aren't free but cost certainty is worth a lot in many cases. I think Southwest Airlines made a killing for the last few years with both options and long term contracts keeping their fuel costs below industry average.
It can get really complicated too. Suppose Southwest Airlines' long term contracts had been at $40 and oil had fallen to $30. Now their buy options at $85+ are worthless and their long-term contracts force a $10/barrel competitive disadvantage on them. To protect against this they might buy an option to sell oil at $35 (a “putâ€). Now if the price falls to $30 (or worse) they can at least sell their $40 fuel at $35 and not get killed, and if oil rises above $85 they don't pay more than that. It's fairly common to buy options simultaneously on both sides like that, spread over a range of prices. What options you can actually get depends on whether anyone is willing to take the other side of the bet of course...
I think those examples are reasonable but I might have some of it wrong. I don't do options: you can lose money in stocks but get killed in a few hours via options.
