Don't count on it to last. It's only a matter of time before the big investment funds come back and pump the price up again to make a profit.

Your understanding of economics and pretty much any concept is laughable. It is not surprising to hear poor old Mom declaring that she was convinced that gas prices below $3.00 would never, ever happen again, especially if she was listening to sneering, ignorant fools such as yourself.

Informed, intelligent people have always recognized that it was entirely possible for gas prices to come back down from where they were. It is unfortunate that the driver this time has been the sad state of the Obama Economy. When Obama is mercifully removed from office in January 2013 and the economy is able to grow again, that will have the effect of driving gas prices upward.

However, when the new administration takes the federal Boot off the neck of America's energy industry that Obama placed upon it, combined with the replacement of Secretary of State Mrs. Bill Clinton and her complete incompetent mishandling of the situation in the Middle East, that will have the effect of driving prices down again.

In keeping with the intellectual sophistication of your previous post, here's a link to a YouTube video of chickens fighting:

Your "understanding" of everything boils down to "R=Good, D=Bad" so I'd sit back, put my feet up and enjoy a nice hot cup of STFU before you hurt yourself. Let the grownups talk.

"Let the grownups talk"...? The only one making any demands on who should or should not talk, is you.

So given your declaration about everything as "R=Good, D=Bad", then what's the verdict on the Supreme Court's ruling today? Good? Bad? John Roberts was appointed by an "R". His ruling is being celebrated by the "D"s. Some believe it will be of most benefit in November to the "R"s. Perhaps you're just an idiot making another bogus analogy.

You know, I could spend the day going back and forth trying to get you to see reason but in reality it would be much faster and more effective to just squirt you with a water bottle until you crawled back in your hole.

Maybe in a wacky alternate universe where Michele Bachmann was President and you weren't a saucebag, sure. And hey, there's a chance of that existing, at least if you believe DeWitt.

Ah, another day, another post in which you express your intense desire to live in a world where your BS goes unchallenged.

Using the phrases, "put a sock in it", or "STFU", or "please go away", or "crawl back in your hole" is no substitute for making a compelling argument or even writing a coherent sentence once in a while. Perhaps some day you will.

What is it the Catholics say when they aren't denying birth control to someone?

And also with you.

Good luck on that whole compelling argument thing.

Just this year the Catholics replaced "And also with you" with "And with your spirit".

You obviously want to sound authoritative but have it wrong again, as usual.

What, do I have to draw you a map?

It was a pop culture reference to the fact that you haven't actually put forth a logical or compelling argument, despite the fact that you insist that others are incapable of them.

No, what you do is posture; you strut around like a slightly-less erudite version of a WWE wrestler. You use catch-phrases and spurious logic that looks to be copied and pasted from one of the more gasbaggy talk radio blogs. Conservatives are bound to take over [insert branch of government here]; liberals are bound to become extinct after the [bloodbath, smackdown, catastrophe, Xbox tournament]; [Democrat of the Week] is a traitor to all that America stands for. Yeah, we've heard it before.

You're a real prophet, all right: here's you with your Nostradamus-like vision back in April of 2011:

I'm not sure if it's just because you have such deep blinders on in your Red-tinted world, or if you're just desperately hoping to find someone who agrees with you, but the vast majority of people think you're ridiculous.

So maybe I should have said "And with your spirit" ironically, since it appears you are a soulless automaton of Fundamentalist America. Would that bolster my religious street cred enought for you?

Please. You don't have the brain pan to challenge me to a farting contest, much less an intelligent debate. Don't let the door hit you in your oversized ass on your way out.

No, "the Catholics" did not replace "And also with you" with "And with your spirit."

The CATHOLIC CHURCH did.

Many Catholics, including myself, disregard the changes and stick with the old phrasing.

It's probably lost on you how your words above are yet another example of your persistent demand that those who disagree with you (and own you the way I do) go away. You seem threatened by anyone who doesn't go along with your predictable BS and are always demanding that they go away. Why is that? You're very insecure.

Oh, sorry, I didn't get the memo from Rainbow Headquarters that the Catholic Church and the Catholics are not the same. You must sound strange, loudly praying your own version of the prayers. Do you still use Latin, too, or was Vatican II where you drew the line regarding the "old phrasing"?

Vatican II was inspired by God.

These latest changes are just so much man-made bullsh!t.

Catholicism not withstanding, gas is $2.84 today, plus my 10 cent off Kroger discount makes it $2.74. Woohoo!

Thanks for that, Mock! I certainly was right. Nostradamus has nothing on me. You saw today's news, right? Roberts voted with the Sensible Justices first, to strike down ObamaCare, then changed his vote to side with the Lefty Justices later. You saw that, right? HA HA!!!

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162...alth-care-law/

Kagan and Sotomayor voted with the Lefties, as I predicted. Roberts changed his vote for reasons that no one will ever know for certain. My statement about "If it ruled today" wasn't just true, it was eerily, astonishingly, amazingly true!

Wow, you have this amazing sense of timing, making snide declarations trying to sound authoritative when if you had just waited one day, just ONE DAY for new details to come out, you could have avoided looking really stupid. One could be forgiven for believing that you do this stuff to make yourself look foolish on purpose, given its frequency and predictability.
