you're hot and my new guru this week <no kidding> there is an international move afoot that lends more to your thesis... and it will be called a life of its own, appealing exactly to the forces we are observing in one mutually beneficial orgasmic coming together. as sister sledge once said: we are family, cept some folks. <g> guess who isn't going to be invited?

<<there are supply issues as well>> what was that book from the 1970s, that promised me we'd run out of everything by the time i was 21; i'm still waiting perhaps you can explain to me why NOBODY IS FARKING DRILLING! only about 1/3 of Patterson's rigs are working right now. gas is not high because of some supply issue or because excess liquidity is speculating in gas futures; gas is high because none of the E&P companies believe the damn price is sustainable so they aren't running like mad to punch holes in the ground. and frankly, there's good reason for them to think this; on the last price spike (remember $10 gas 2 years ago, when all the inflationists last got all geared up) they directed a ton of new rigs (Patterson earned over a dollar in a single QUARTER back then) and cratered the price. until somebody demonstrates to me that the marginal cost of pulling an Mcf of gas or a barrel of oil out of the ground has changed materially, yes i'm going to keep singing my song that energy is related to Iraq / a lack of urgency on the part of E&Ps 'cause they don't think the prices are real / sustainable. it was the right song on the last 17 temporary spikes in energy prices and its the right song this time as well. as far as my wife doing the shopping, that is just too funny. woman hasn't seen the inside of a grocery store for 5 years (or seen the laundry room for that matter). heck, somebody's gotta earn a paycheck in this family, i just sit here all day clipping measly treasury coupons.
