An arm and a leg..

As one of its first orders of business, the Senate will hold a hearing to examine the causes of the price increases, and oil executives might be summoned to testify."You can safely predict, with more accuracy than any TV weatherman, that the first blizzard of the year will be the blizzard of gas price legislation introduced this September when Congress comes back to town," said Stuart Roy, a former House GOP leadership aide"-from the AP. What will happen then? The same thing that has happened before, the oil company representatives will bitch slap the hell out of the Congress, threatening to withhold campaign contributions. The Congress will then throw up their hands and say "there is nothing we can do". Exxon-Mobil had profits last quarter of $4.7 billion(with a "b"). And what did the pres do before he ran for governor of Texas?...oh, yeah, he was an oil man, Cheney, too. Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da..life goes on..
