I hope so. That's a shit load of money. Imagine how much both Mubarak and Gaddafi's frozen assets would come out to once this is all over!?

And America starts to feel the effects of the Middle East revolts.

Gas prices jumped 6 cents overnight, as the recent spike in oil prices begins to hit filling stations across America.

The national average price for a gallon of regular gas rose 5.9 cents to $3.287, motorist group AAA said Friday. That marks the third day in a row that prices have risen, and brings the national average to the highest level since October 2008.

So far this week, gas prices have increased nearly 12 cents a gallon. And analysts expect prices to continue higher in the next few days following a sharp rise in the price of crude oil.

Gas prices were highest in Hawaii, where drivers paid $3.757 a gallon, on average. Wyoming had the lowest gas prices at roughly, $3.014 a gallon.

Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, said the jump in gas prices reported Friday was the largest one-day increase since at least 2008.

"This will definitely be the most expensive February ever," he said, adding that gas prices are typically lower during the winter months.

The jump in pump prices follows a surge in prices for crude oil, the main ingredient in gasoline. Oil prices were holding near $98 a barrel early Friday morning, one day after prices hit a high of $103 a barrel -- the highest since October 2008.

Analysts expect prices to continue rising over the next few days, since gas prices typically lag trends in the oil market.

The spike in oil this week could translate to an increase in gas prices of 37 cents per gallon in the coming weeks, according Moody's Analytics economist Chris Lafakis. He estimates that for every $1 increase in the price of oil, retail gas prices typically rise 2.5 cents a gallon.

Economists warn that an energy price shock could hurt the economic recovery in the United States. In general, every $1 increase in the price of oil costs consumers $1 billion over the course of a year.

That's concerning because consumer spending makes up the bulk of U.S. gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic growth.

The government said Friday that GDP was revised lower to an annual growth rate of 2.8% in the three months ending in December. The initial reading had been for a 3.2% growth rate in the period.

Oil prices have been driven higher by political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, where much of the world's oil comes from. Despite the surge in prices this week, the amount of oil that has been taken off the world market has been relatively minimal.


Average price in CA is around 3.55 right now.

I've been deliberately avoiding vids etc because of this: Fucking atrocious to see

Its interesting from a censorship angle though-- the US hasn't had many problems with anti-war movements since they censored media relays of carnage--

"For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down. Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. (Ezekiel 30:3-5)

unfortunately i don't think it's going to get any better from here...

And absolutely nothing remarkable happened in Ethiopia

I was wondering how long it would take until someone imagined this revolution is some sort of ominous event telling us that the end is nigh. Thanks, 6th!

Bunch of americans were claiming that the earthquake in christchurch was the result of its gay-friendly status... said the last earthquake was a warning, and this one was because they didn't heed said warning...

Normally I would also be making fun of all these doomsayers and Revelation echoing fanatics. But with all the crazy shit that's been going on in the world lately, I'm starting to think that there may be some truth in this. Although I seriously doubt the world will end, but I think for the rest of this decade, this is going to be one turbulent ride.

Is it really that much of a gay friendly city? I just looked it up on the internet and it's got one gay bar for 150 thousand inhabitants! Even Brasilia, which is far from being the gay-friendlist city on Earth, has more gay bars

i think many people who previously might have mocked end-times prophecy are seriously reconsidering.

it'd be wise to do. what do you have to lose?

"Condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance." -Albert Einstein

"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." -Jesus in the book of Luke

the bible refers to "sea" not as a body of water, but rather it's consistently used throughout the scriptures as symbolic of a large amount of people.

so, apparently, one of the signs that time is truly short, is that there will be uprisings, attempted reformations, and just a general upheaval and unrest of large amounts of people.

I investigated: Nothing major is going on in Ethiopia. All other claims about the end of days have been nothing but delusional. Therefore, it's safe to say that should anything happen, it's not related to the current events in the Middle East/North Africa.

Wow, uprisings and attempted reformations are a sign that the apocalypse is near!? Blimey, it must be long overdue!


Posted by tubularbills on Feb-26-2011 08:13:

all it is is people uprising about their own gov't. and it's not to get a new gov't so they can take over the world. hardly a sign of "end of days" lol.

besides present day etheopia/libya are much differnt geographically wise than 2000+ years ago. where it may have been years ago is not where the country's boundary's are now. for all you know libya could have been canada


Posted by tubularbills on Feb-26-2011 08:14:

ok so obviously not really, but you get the idea. at least, you should.
