SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 12:24 P.M. ET:

From London's Telegraph:  Motorists are now paying £6 a gallon in garages across the country as oil prices continue to soar amid the crisis in Libya.

That is more than nine dollars a gallon.  England is a country of small distances.  The U.S. is a country of large distances.  Imagine if that happened here.  It can.  Note the deep concern in the White House.
