Doing the people's business
Is it can be impeachment time now pleez??
The House, eager to do something about record high gasoline prices in advance of the Memorial Day weekend, voted narrowly Wednesday to approve stiff penalties for those found guilty of gasoline price gouging.
The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department to go after oil companies, traders or retail operators if they take “unfair advantage'' or charge “unconscionably excessive'' prices for gasoline and other fuels.
The White House called the measure a form of price controls that could result in fuel shortages. [Awol McOilman] threatened to veto the legislation should it pass Congress.

We're being gouged every day, asshats! Thanks for catching up...partly, anyway. We'll all be driving George Jetson cars before someone does anything about the gas, dangit.
Ok, let's backtrack a bit: FBI Special Agent John O'Neill, tasked with thwarting Osama bin-Laden, then removed from the trail, stated publicly (before his death at the WTC on 9/11/01) that "corporate oil interests" were interfering with the investigation.
Any light bulbs going on?
