Quote the Raven

Sonny, I just have few questions for you ..  Do you actually live in the same state of Georgia as the rest of us?  Are you suffering from any form of mental illness?  Do you have your own personal supply of gas that you aren’t telling anyone about?  Have you recently driven around Metro-Atlanta?  Did you happen to notice the current state of nearly ever gas station?

The reason I ask these questions is simple, after reading your recent comments I seriously have to wonder about your current state of mind.  Your statements sound as if you are living some place else instead of actually being aware of the state that you’re presently the governor.  Did you move recently without telling us?

I was reading up on the "supposed" gas crisis and found this article which made me seriously wonder.  I wasn’t wondering if there was a gas crisis - having to hunt down a gas station is proof enough for me - no, I was wondering how someone could ever say anything like this:

“There is ample fuel in the city,” he said. “It’s not everywhere it needs to be, but we do not have a crisis in the sense that we don’t have fuel coming in.”

Uh, Sonny .. if there is ample fuel why is it that every gas station I pass doesn’t have prices up, has bags over the pumps, or has a line spilling out into the street cause its the only place to get gas for miles?  Are you that out of touch with the reality of the situation?  Who is keeping you informed of this issue and if you run into them in the near future I’d check for a pulse, or perhaps new pair of glasses or updated hearing aid.  It’s all over the streets, the media, but for some reason you are governing with blinders on hoping it will go away without effort from you.  Okay, okay I know you did "something" - yes, you let us use dirtier fuel cause its easier to get versus the cleaner alternative.  I’d have to say if you planned ahead perhaps we wouldn’t need to burn smog fuel, but I guess that’s all water under the bridge now.  Planning, if only you would of been aware of such a shortage occurring .. oh wait, you were told.

I’ve heard from the media that you were alerted to the impending issue around September 11th, or around that time, but you decided to take action AFTER the crisis had hit.  Nice planning Sonny, and let’s give you kudos for completely ignoring the issue till the state was nearly dry of fuel.  Did you come up with this master plan by yourself or did you consult with someone else?  If the latter I would seriously never ask them for their opinion ever again.  If you happen to think of this response all by yourself, well .. then I’m really worried that you have the foresight of Georgia clay.
