Here in the southeast we are out of gas

Gas prices do not reflect the Law of Supply and Demand, e.g., prices are not high to reflect the lack of gas

Instead of a run on banks, we are having an insane run on gas

Our governors, particularly Ga's governor (who is on a working vacation in Europe :p ) have their heads in the sand

At this writing, this has not made the front page of N.Y. Times, thus the national news media

Washington and New York City has gas, but these cities are on the same pipeline serving the southeast

At the present rate, this contagion will jump to Washington, then N.Y. City by the end of the week

Mix this in with the Wall Street mess, and we have a major problem

I heard about that. That sucks not being able to get gas. I'm getting gas today.
