OPEC and the Life-Sucking Piggy Bank

I was pleased this morning to wake up and find gas at my local Enmart lowered to $2.48 (even though I paid more last night, but that’s cool).

This morning, I read this article at Forbes and giggled a little.

Hub and I had a conversation regarding this issue awhile back. I was still ticked about the prices even though they were dropping. I said
I wouldn't be happy until they were below $2. He said it would never happen. To be honest, I believed him. However, after reading this article, I may not have been far off the mark.

So why did I giggle at you, OPEC? Well, maybe because you've been using Mega Maid to suck the dust bunnies out of my wallet for 4 years and it's time you get hit where it hurts. I guess Mega Maid's gone from suck to blow, eh? How does it feel not to know where your next meal is coming from? No, you're probably not that strapped for cash, dudes, mainly because you have the rest of my money hidden in your mattress, but a lot of us were/are. I at LEAST wanted to buy my hubby a dang Christmas present.

Oh yeah, and speaking of exorbitant - how about cutting France a break, too? $9.33 a gallon. Really?
