I’m Shocked, Shocked To Find Gambling Here!

(here are your winnings, Sir)
Oh, thank you very much.

OPEC chief Abdala El Badri on Thursday said members were unhappy with surging prices he blamed on speculators and a weak US dollar.
“We are not very happy with this increase in oil prices,” said El-Badri during a visit to Ecuador.
“Volatility has nothing to do with the fundamentals. It has nothing to do with world demand,” he said, stressing that a dropping dollar was driving prices higher.

Oh yes, we hateses these higher oil prices, we do!
Gimme a break. You’re loving every second of it, you bastard.

    Mr. B, the poor guy has to count all that money! That take time, and that means he can’t play.

    Either that, or he can’t squeeze a larger percentage for his cut.

    El Bardi better squirrel away as much of his filthy lucre as he can because when the oil bubble breaks so will the speculators who don’t get out in time.
    Utterly amazing how so many people didn’t learn a thing from the dot com and housing bubble fiascoes.
