Gas prices down for the 24th straight day; Update: GOP keeps the heat on

If Obama wins:

Mr. Chad Moonsong:

Ok, Britt you man the computer, Spirit and Fawn you’ve got your cells, and I’ll check online as well.

Mrs. Brittany Moonsong:

Honey why are we doing this again? You already bought the tickets for two weeks at Disney World, you took time off and now you want to win the lottery or we’re not going.

Spirit Moonsong:

I’m with you Dad I still have the number in my speed dial from last year.

Fawn Moonsong:

Chill Mom, I’m cool with it. I’m talking to Jango, when I’m off I’ll dial.

Mr. Chad Moonsong:

Ok, ready at 12:00 Midnight we can start dialing. I can feel it now, this is our year; we’re in.

Mrs. Brittany Moonsong:

This makes me so mad honey, you get their hopes up and then one more time we’re staying home during your time off and we’re out of the money we spent on the Disneyland tickets. You have to just realize that we need to just plan to stay home and watch Disneyland on TV.

Mr. Chad Moonsong:

Look HONEY, I am trying as hard as I can to make this work. Frank at the office said this is how he won the lottery the last two years. He says that the computers have tracked us all year and we haven’t used our cars for six months so we are in the top 40% of callers.

Mrs. Brittany Moonsong:

You’re crazy, you know the odds have gone up every month since Obama initiated the Lottery. In fact I’m still mad at you for convincing me to vote for Obama in the first place, Hillary or McCain wouldn’t have put us through this.

Spirit Moonsong:

I’m still in, I don’t even mind staying home it will help the Polar Bears if we don’t go.

Fawn Moonsong:

What was I suppose to do?

Mr. Chad Moonsong:

Ok, ready, three two one, DIAL NOW!

Spirit: I’m in I’m number 200,003. That sucks.

Fawn: Ah, what was that number?

Mr. Chad Moonsong: Darn I keep getting knocked off, must be too many hitting the site.

Mrs. Moonsong:

I told you this wasn’t going to work. You know that only government employees, Hollywood insiders, Move Ons, and Obama bloggers get the Obama Vacation Offset Vouchers. We are stuck here until he allows another election. Why don’t you go down and stand in line for that video before the line gets too long?

Mr. Chad Moonsong:

I guess I was just dreaming. Why did I ever vote for that guy? He promised Hope, and Change. Well we got the change but there is no hope. How was I to know that he meant it when he said we were going to have to stop driving and using all of the worlds energy. Now we have to wait for a lottery to take a vacation over 50 miles from home to save energy. No vactions no fast food, no negative blogging, no sports, no nothing, I’m gong to bed.

Spirit Moonsong:

Can I have a sandwich, I’m hungry.

Mrs. Brittany Moonsong:

Honey we have already used up our Obama Sandwich After Midnight Offset Vouchers for the month, you can have a tofu roll if you like.

Spirit: UCK!

Fawn Moonsong:

Hey, there’s Obama on TV now, that’s an SUV he’s getting into:

Laura Ingraham says:

So now what will Obama say about the lower Gas Prices

This is a small relief and we need more access to American oil ASAP to bolster our energy independence and security, but it is good news nonetheless:

Retail gasoline prices fell on average almost a penny overnight, extending declines for the 24th straight day, a survey of gas station credit card swipes showed Sunday.

The national average price for a gallon of regular gas fell to $3.818 from $3.826 the previous day, motorist group AAA found. That’s down more than 7% from the record high of $4.114 that gas prices hit on July 16.

…Oklahoma and Missouri remained the states with the lowest gas prices. The average price in these two states is $3.58 a gallon, down a penny from the previous day. South Carolina is next lowest, with average prices of $3.61 a gallon, down a penny from the day before, AAA found.

Meanwhile, gas prices fell nearly 15 cents in the past two weeks, the publisher of a national survey of self-serve regular gasoline prices said Sunday. The latest Lundberg Survey, carried out on Friday, tallied prices at thousands of gas stations across the country. Publisher Trilby Lundberg put the average price at $3.8472. The average from the previous survey, from July 25, was $3.9959.

The last time gas prices fell by such a margin was in July of last year, Lundberg said. The survey from July 27, 2007, showed that self-serve regular gas prices fell more than 17 cents from the previous survey to $2.8843. Lundberg attributed the recent 14.87-cent drop to a decline in the prices of crude oil. On Friday, crude oil closed at $115.02, down more than $30 from its peak price of more than $145 last month, she said. (Moe)
