REPENT!

From a comment thread at the Oil Drum:

America is falling apart, it's time to pay for greed, foolishness and aggression.
My prediction is that the USA will eventually divide into two or three smaller countries. Of course, after a period of unrest, riots and perhaps a civil war (Red vs. Blue states).

Perhaps a civil war?   I guess s/he's an optimist at heart. 

And speaking of sweet, sweet, petroleum, the cause of and solution to all our problems, did someone skim 308,000 barrels of oil from the Strategic Reserve?   

Eventually, the auditors received documentation from MMS to explain reasons for the discrepancy, including "a decision by MMS [Interior Department's Minerals Management Service] to sell royalty oil rather than ship it to the Department," although 32,000 barrels could still not be accounted for in the above example.

Maybe BushCo should look under some cushions for it.
