#1 It's a quagmire!! Hey Mark Espinola, poster of dire economic news, did you undergo a sex change between this post and the one about treasury yeilds? Or is your sister Jesikkka Espinola just helping you to scare the voters?

Little busy beavers, you two.

#2 Hey Mark Espinola.I don't get it. In the comments section, you post comments supportive of Bush and the WOT..yet here, you and your *cough* sister, Jesika Espinola, post the overly dire economic news.

Are you a new and improved troll or what?

#3 ``As long as inventories of gasoline remain tight people will bet that demand is going to be strong for crude.ââ

I'm not an economics guru, but this seems like pure speculation to me. If supplies are "tight", I sure as hell aren't aware of it, except reading about it in the news, as what happens before the gas gets delivered to the filling station is transparent to me. Some sort of shortfall would mean that there's not enough gas being made to meet demand, right? Well I haven't seen any gas stations with a "NO GAS" sign out in front, so what's the deal?

#4 I'm puzzled that gasoline consumption is up 11% over last year. It's extremely hard for me to believe this country is burning that much more this year than last. Or did this refer to the total expenditure on gas, which seems about right.

#6 To "B"; (1st & 2nd poster)

How do you like those oil prices in the mid- $50's per barrel for Oct-2004?

Do you still think the Bloomberg posting of April-2004 was just another posting of "dire economic news"?

Have a nice drive to your local gas station :)
