Fasten Your Seatbelts
April 14, 1912 – We’re unsinkable. And besides, we don’t believe in icebergs. Full speed ahead!!
October 29, 1929 – What goes up must come down.
February 14, 1945 – Dresden is burning.
December 12, 2005 – On the authority of the U.S. Energy Department, we are sorry to inform you that last year’s figures were mistaken and oil prices will not be going down to $33 after all. But please believe that they will remain steady at a non-inflation-adjusted sticker price of $50 a barrel for the next 25 years. Scout’s honor.
May 9, 2008 – $124+ a barrel. Nearly double the record-setting prices from two years ago. Slated to go up another 50% in the next 6 months or so.
This is not going to be pretty.
Silly, silly Venezuela. We’re just minding our own business, taking our oil out from under their country, and they expect us to pay for it. The nerve.
Love is hate. We are at war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Today I am wondering, and not for the first time—why did God create petroleum in the first place?
And who will guard the guardians?
