We should stop bitching right about....now.
From the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch:

LONDON - As rising prices pushed gasoline past the equivalent of $5.79 a gallon in Britain on Wednesday, truckers threatened to strike and cabbies complained about working extra hours to make ends meet. (Italics by blog owner.)
...
Waving a receipt showing he had just paid $94 to fill up his small van with diesel fuel, Ian Wheatley, 21, said: "Can't we buy gas off you over in America? Aren't we (President George W.) Bush's biggest ally?"

Full story here.

That's right...we're doing all of this moaning and complaining and out-and-out whining about paying what we pay for gas, and here I am only shelling out 1.99 for a gallon of 87-proof car food.

I don't really like having gas prices as high as they are, but to be completely honest, we've still got it better than everyone else. As a country, we're starting to act like the spoiled kid who went ballistic because he was asked to clean his room for the first time, rather than having a maid do it. And it's pretty much sickening.
