TODAY IS THE DAY AMERICA RAN OUT OF BREAD

Late Add: prices quoted here were Friday before 1PM. They have since dropped back down and as of Saturday noon the LOWESt price was $1.93. still an extremely high price.
Like King Louie, King George W May go to the Guillotine; gasoline is at $2.80

The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt kept seven years supply of grain on hand in case of famine, knowing the people would kill the King if they ran out of grain. Louis the XVI refused to pay the French farmers a fair price for their grain so they withheld wheat delivery to Paris; "Let them eat cake", rings to this day. Our bread in the modern world is gasoline and today the price is the highest it has ever been in our history. I just got back from the beach; a family beach where the waves are cool and the people cooler. Just after noon the wind came up and blew the waves out and everybody went up to Perry's at the Beach to snack. The only topic was "that asshole Bush sitting on his ass while these fucking gas prices go through the roof." Men, women, young people, all totally pissed. This is SoCal and not Bush country, but still these prices and the fact that he does absolutely nothing is just like his old man, something more than a few people in the crowd mentioned. Also mentioned was the fact that Clinton would have been "doing something"; meaning he would have felt our pain and at least talked about it. Make no mistake, when gasoline tops $3 per gallon the government is at fault. The people will get the King for this.
