The good thing about the current economic crisis — which sucks if you’re close to retirement age, but let’s face it, doesn’t mean much to those of us with 30 years left to work — is watching the arabs and latin american socialists shit their pants over the price of oil plummeting. It is a joy to see what’s happening to those assholes. Most of them only have oil to rely up on when it comes to their GNP, and they’ve set their budgets on prices not dropping much below $80, and they felt that was being conservative (oil is currently trading for about $67/barrel). Now they’re flipping out over not being able to buy Russian weaponry because they have to provide basic shit like food and power to their slums.

In my best Nelson Muntz voice I decree, “Haw Haw!”

The way we do things is really fucked up, but we rely on enriching our enemies because of their oil, which in turn allows them to support actions contradictory to our interests. Basically, we’re funding the very nations who want to see our republic fall. Good thing we have Obama to save us.

Here are a few terrific articles that should make any american feel good:

To the Iranian oil minister asshole who said the days of cheap oil were over and the fuckwad hippie enviro-freaks here who were so giddy to see gas over $4.00 a gallon and gleefully pronounced that lifestyles would be forced to change because that price was here to stay: Go fuck yourselves.

I paid $2.47/gal for gas yesterday. Even that’s too high, but it’s not high enough to keep me from laughing at those who hate us for not being able to fuck us with our own cash.

“Haw Haw!”
