The insanity begins: What are your local Gas Prices?
Arkansas Attorney General Addresses Gas Hikes Posted: Sep 12, 2008 10:22 PM JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) -- Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel says his office has been inundated with claims of price gouging at the pump. While McDaniel won't name names right now, he says they are looking very closely at some stations in Jonesboro. "It's not fair, it's not right, and it's not legal. I intend to take a very harsh view of it as we gather evidence of those who are committing these violations," said McDaniel. McDaniel is asking consumers to help sort through rumors of what gas prices are doing, and provide his office with evidence. "I've heard rumors of 6 dollars a gallon gasoline in south Arkansas, but we haven't found actual evidence. Most people, on their cell phones, they have cameras...I'm asking people to use those cameras and send us what they see," said McDaniel. McDaniel warns he and his office are watching the gas prices very closely, and he urges retailers to demonstrate some restraint during what he calls a temporary interruption in supply. "When it's happening, even after the governor has declared an emergency and my office has put the word out to retailers of what we expect, to be doing it this afternoon and continuing to raise prices in Northeast Arkansas I am particularly disappointed in and will pay particular attention to it," said McDaniel.

AR Gov. Mike Beebe Declares State of Emergency LITTLE ROCK, AR (KAIT) - Governor Mike Beebe has declared a state of emergency in Arkansas because of gasoline-supply interruptions in relation to Hurricane Ike. Some pipelines that route gasoline to fuel wholesalers and gas stations in Arkansas have been shut down until Ike is no longer a threat to the Gulf Coast. As a result, some temporary increases in gas prices are expected during the next few days. However, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has vowed to go after anyone who tries to profit illicitly from the situation through price gouging. A statement from Beebe's office states that he fully supports McDaniel's efforts, and made this declaration to help the AG's Office pursue anyone who participates in gouging of any sort. "We have dealt with emergencies before when severe weather has impacted fuel prices in Arkansas and throughout the region," Beebe said. "This situation is unique with the interruption of pipeline service, and we want to do everything we can to make sure that any price gouging that results can be dealt with swiftly and strongly by the Attorney General."

I've got to agree with Burley on this. This is how captalism works. I don't like high gas prices as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to get mad at people for making money.

I like to shoot them from hundreds of yards away, then grill their flesh with a little salt and olive oil. Are you shooting a .308 or a 7mm Mag?

My 4th grade daughters math homework.
I'll sign. My teacher was talking about limits today, about how you could always divide a distance by 2 and never reach your destination. I told him that I applied the same limits to my homework. I am trying to do it, getting closer and closer with each move, but it never gets finished.
