      Your hedge funds failed to hold up their end of the price.

        Speaking for Dallas, people discovered mass transit, specifically the rail system. Even with the drop in gas prices, occupancy remains high. I think oil suppliers shot themselves in the foot.

          Ha!
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

            I noticed the trains here are less crowded now.

              I'm really quite upset about this business, by the way.

              Word is some of the gold may have to be removed from the pavement to continue funding day centres for poodles in Montreal.

              We feel a bit like divorced husbands, as we'll be expected to continue to keep our *****es in the style to which they are accustomed despite the losses we experience to our birthright.

              The encouraging news is it seems Islamists are not buying Obama as anything new or different, so maybe we can look forward to the USMC visting more oil producing countries sometime soon. This keeps our spirits up.

                The silver lining of the recession. Gas is down to $1.79 by me. I don't expect it to last, but it's nice for the moment.

                  $1.56 here, I'm rushing out to buy a Hummer. It's so cheap that I sometimes spray gas all over the pump when I'm done, just for fun!

                      I wonder how long it will be until the "peak oil" crowd comes into fashion again.

                          World wide recessions have a way of bringing down commodity prices.

                            Doncha know--

                            Just as the increase in oil was engineered by the oil suppliers to gouge the world and profit off the backs of the workers so this rapid decrease is being totally engineered by those same monopolistic cartels to crush new exploration and alternative fuels so that more profits can be taken


                            The funny part is that some people believe this-- totally ignoring the fact that at least the capitalistic oil companies would LOVE a moderately stable oil price (probably in the 70s or 80s) which would be profitable and still allow some development of some of the higher cost projects AND would not in and of itself fuel so much inflation as to be a factor in slowing growth. I suspect the mideast states would like some stability too

                              We could still get $200 a barrel oil next year. The Treasury and the Fed may have just enough oomph left for one more commodity spike.
