La, La, La

Soo.
Gas prices are going up. It's summer time, no big deal right? See my previous gas price post, I won't be rehashing. However! The price of crude continues to drop. Simple economics right? Demand goes down, prices go down. That's what we have all been taught to believe in. To me? Doesn't look so simple. It is kind of backwards actually. Demand for gas has gone down, so now its no longer a commodity, but it is a luxury. Luxury items cost more, facts 'o life. Ever seen a Lambroghini commercial on television? Rolls Royce? They still make these cars, and apparently they sell them to someone too. There are no commercials to shop around for your own helicopter or airplane. You know the rest.
Casey went hom... wait, that's not right. Casey left jail, yes that's it, Casey left jail this morning. She had around 500 dollars and some chaneg in her pocket. I think that is more than she arrived with. Any takers on the bet that she can turn that into a million? I am not going to discuss the rights or wrongs in her case. I do not have enough information to make that decision. I will allow this pondering however.. before we all jump on the Caley's Law bandwagon, let's just try to remember that while there may be some problems in our legal system, those who enforce and prosecute people who have violated these laws do not always do so to the best of their ability, nor do they think to very far outside of the proverbial box when seeking what their interpretation of a law represents.
Moving right along.
I am somewhat disaapointed. Charlie has a new employee. He hired last week a SocialNetworking Administrative Assistant. I have nothing against that really. I mean, great, he is creating jobs, sharing his wealth, #winning. What bothers me now is that I cannot in full faith believe his tweets are really his. This guy is likely tweeting for Charlie, providing the illusion that Charlie is doing it. I still follow, call me a sucker for train wrecks. This brings me to another point. When did it occur that Charlie Sheen evolved into Charlie? Say his name, Charlie, everyone knows who you are talking about.
Madonna, Prince, Fonzie, and now Charlie.
National Debt. Heh.
El Presidente wants us to believe that if they do not reach an agreement, social security checks will not go out on August 3. If you believe that, then that prime real estate deal we spoke of last year is still on the table. It's a water shed, not a swamp, I promise.
'Til next time, Dear Reader.
