Why is the media ignoring the gas prices which are now touching 4 dollars a gallon? Remember all those people who were “outraged,” even if it was just astroturf, phony and manufactured outrage at 4 dollar a gallon gas when it happened under Bush? Why don’t they seem outraged now? Why was it okay to be outraged, and attacked by the media when it was Bush, but now, not a word? Oh yeah! The left’s monopoly on hypocrisy and phoniness strikes again!

You see in my world, which would be completely foreign to leftists (reality usually is) 4 bucks a gallon was not okay when Bush was president, and it’s not okay with Obama as president. In my world, there aren’t two sets of standards, there’s only one.

Americans are feeling the pain at the pump. In Hawaii, the sting just got a little worse.

The state reached the dubious milestone Monday of being the first in recent years where the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has reached $4, according to AAA’s Daily Fuel Report.

The Aloha State’s average of $4 per gallon is the highest in the nation, beating California’s average of $3.96. Alaska has the third highest average price at $3.90.

“Of course I’m not happy about it at all, but no one is,” said Irma Lai, who was filling up her small SUV at a Big Island gas station that was charging $4.22 a gallon. “What the hell can I do? I have to drive. I can’t walk everywhere. I use a cane.” Read more

I filled up a couple of days ago in Mound at 3.59 per gallon.

With that in mind, if you have a boat here on Lake Minnetonka and you fill up your tanks at a marina, you can add about 2 bucks per gallon, so at this point, marine fuel would probably be close to 5 and a half bucks per gallon. It’s going to be an expensive summer out on the water.
