California Deep Freeze

This country is about ready to learn a lesson in supply and demand... a simple lesson, but one we need a refresher on now and then.

Recall if you will just prior to the elections and gas prices began to fall. The hue and cry was that President Bush and his cronies were manipulating the gas prices to influence the election. Umm, that didn't work too well did it? The opposition was all atwitter about how they were going to impose windfall profit taxes on those fricking oil companies. And they 'still' are talking about that and I am quite confident they will assess those taxes. Ho hum.

So.... now we have a leetle problemo in Caleeefornyaaa.... I am quite confident the price of oranges and other citrus is gonna skyrocket.... umm the demand is gonna exceed the supply. Those dadgum fruit farmers are gonna gouge us, I can feel it. Can't yewwww?????
