Gas Prices

Submitted by Gene Patterson on September 15, 2008 - 8:49pm

I was pumping gas early Saturday morning; and as I filled my tank, the clerk was busy changing the sign from $4.59 to $4.99 a gallon for unleaded.

"Are you going up on prices again?" asked a customer. "Yes, sir," said the worker, who didn't look too happy. He'd probably already been yelled at by irate customers and was expecting another tongue lashing.

"Bless your heart," said the customer.

Then the customer thought a moment and said, "Better yet, bless my heart!"

Conservatives are always

Submitted by Bayard J. Donahoo (not verified) on September 16, 2008 - 1:34am.

Conservatives are always preaching about freedom and especially freedom in the market place. They want basic business principles like supply and demand to rule without government (liberal) interference. But when the demand for gas goes way up and prices correspondingly rise (aka supply and demand), they cry like babies.

Does anyone see an inconsistancy here?
