HaHaHa..oil lobby reaches out to citizens peeved at the pump
They’re kidding, right? The national outcry over high gasoline prices is causing the gas and oil industry to go on a PR mission to change Americans minds about our conception about the energy industry *hysterical laughter* . I guess the announcement recently of their high profits have their panties in a twist. This means, if there hadn’t been an announcement over the angst bellow, they could care less and keep on screwing us. But, because they’ve become a household scheme to shutdown those $^%$@#! word, the industry plans on doing an all-out multi-million dollar campaign effort to get newspapers to advertise their virtues, set up news conferences and invite bloggers *guffaw* out to drilling platforms to shut them up and throw them over at sea! Wheeeeee!
I guess the oil and gas industry doesn’t like the idea that Congress is proposing an energy package that would strip the industry of their tax breaks and impose a tax on their oil and gas windfall profits! Oh but wait! The coal and natural gas lobby will join in on the PR campaign to curry favor with Americans. All this in an attempt to change Americans perception of the energy industry *hysterical laughter*. Might I offer them a suggestion..?
Why don’t you take your millions of dollars ear-marked for advertising and just lower the frickin’ prices at the pump, home oil & gas, instead?!?

A compendium of things that matter (or not!). Painting a picture of Life from a palette of wit, spit & fire. Sometimes using the angst bellow or poetry. Writing is cathartic. I mean to avail myself of its magical mushroom cloud. This neat process for purging life’s emotional and overwhelming experiences enables me to swoop in low to grab repressed feelings and fears and drag ‘em to the surface. This means one less person liable to go postal. Writing with a mix of faux fury & laissez-faire gives that kickass potential to restore & refresh a dowdy spirit. Sharing opinions and musings on anything that catches my fancy, including people, places & things, music, art & humor. Ideas & stories that’ll drive you crazy with frustration and a sense of hopelessness. Reports from things one finds under rocks and things purporting to be from out of this world. Yeah, things better left hidden, unsaid & unthunk. Maybe even some political shenanigans that can get you killed. So, sit back and watch me slash-and-burn some mental chains & dodge mind shadows. After all, it’s the dowdy legacy.. heh heh
