Deja vu again.....

"I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you!"

‘Way back in April of 2008, I wrote:

“I paid $3.73 a gallon for regular gas t’day.....nuthin’ I c’n do about it ‘cept cut out unnecessary trips....McCain sez he’d like to cut out the federal tax on gasoline for the summer....’s a good idea but I don’t think anything will ever come of it....all our legislators will do is talk, talk, talk....but if they wanted to stimulate the economy, cutting $.40 a gallon off the price would do it far better and cheaper than a refund check. A similar plan might help in California....least we wouldn’t have to put up with media stories about students protesting cuts in education......Heck! Education is one of the places that needs to be cut drastically. Especially in the administrative departments wherein lies most of the actual waste. I just tho’t I’d phrase it thataway so’s I wouldn’t end a sentence with a dangling participle.......so there......Justin Other Smith”

So, yest’iday I bought gas at the same place I paid $3.73 a gallon for back in April of 2008....’n I paid $4.12 per gallon of regular....’n still there ain’t a helluva lot that I c’n do about it ‘cept cut out unnecessary trips...’n try ‘n combine some of the ‘necessary’ ones so’s I c’n get the most bang for my buck...McCain hasn’t said anything this time around ‘n I don’t expect him to...Hell, he ain’t said anything that matters for several years now...matter of fact, sayin’ nuthin’ while speaking is what our legislators seem t’do best...anyways high gas prices ‘n student demonstrations are deja vu again.....they (California State Police) were s’pozed to arrest some of the recent demonstrators ‘n maybe they did but nuthin’ will ever come of it....’course, if the legislators were to ever get serious about solving some of the budget problems here in California, they’d encourage more demonstrations, arrest the demonstrators ‘n levy some really huge fines ‘n apply that money to the deficit.....Nah! That ain’t ever gonna happen...giving money to California legislators is like giving your car keys ‘n a bottle of whiskey to your teenage son ‘n telling him to be careful.....
