NOVEMBER
20, 2005 --
LPR,
in Torrington Connecticut, November 16, noticed that gas prices
are still getting lower.
At one station, Gulf regular was even a trifle below $2.10 a gallon. LPR is,
however, not impressed with calls in Congress for "windfall profits" taxers
on the oil companies.
Members of Congress seemed, at least to LPR, kind of quiet when the gouging
occurred. And the media seemed kind of quick to offer rationalizations for
the gas price spike.
LPR is left to wonder how oil companies would have justified higher prices
if we were not hit Katrina (which also seems to have become another excuse
to hurl gibes at the White House).

Yahoo carried a headline

King thinks oil
importing countries ought to cut taxes.
