Talk about prescient folks, here is my FIRST entry on Myspace where I started the "Meat and Potatoes Blog" on April 29, 2006. Read this and see if Mister Meat and Taters wasn't on target like a tomahawk missile! At the time, gasoline was priced at about $2.75 a gallon and we thought THAT was bad. Who knew right?

A borderline national crisis...late 70's/early 80's all over again
Everybody is ticked off about the high price of gasoline. How many of those people look in the mirror when they need to place blame? I would doubt very many, how about you?
Myself, I blame the American people for many reasons but I'll give you just one. Our doggedly loyal support of China. That's right, the folks who bring you fine cuisine on every street corner, "Pass the Kung Pao Chicken please", are gobbling up fuel like its going out of style. Their country's economy is doubling EVERY SEVEN YEARS FOLKS. Now, tell me something....... For a country to be making that much CA$$H, somebody must be buying their crap. Who could that be?
That's right, its the American consumer in pursuit of low low prices, we are buying up Chinese goods, causing China to become rich and gobble up more fuel which in turn sends our fuel skyrocketing! Simply put, WE ARE SCREWING OURSELVES!!!
Next time you brag to your friends about how cheap you got that "silly something" at Walmart, remember the pain at the pump! Bet you won't hear this from CNN......bye bye then.
