Sorry to be hogging this but i really had to post this.
Emailed Joe Kernen this morning who kept blaming speculators. Really had to vent.
Here was my email to him

To Joe Moronic Kernen,

Please wake up to the reality of peak oil. Stop blaming speculators. You
are misleading your viewers. Here are some f***ing facts you and your
band of merry idiots can check out.

1) The world will use 88 million barrels per day (mbpd)in the 4th
quarter and produce only 84.5 mbpd. Did they teach you demand and supply
at MIT or did you get a degree in brain farts?

2) the total oil controlled by the net long position of speculators can
be found at cftc.gov and is less than a couple of days of world usage at
best. And because it is a commodity it is matched by a net short
position by commericals. If those words challenge your chimp vocabulary
I suggest you take time to acquaint yourself with them.

3)In days of coverage the world oil inventories are at the lowest level
in the last 15 years.

How can you have exposure to the wisdom of Matt Simmons and still
display that high level of completely unjustified arrogance? Your
flippant dealing of the most important issue facing mankind will have
your going down as the Typhoid Mary of this optimistic disease of
wishing upon a star.
Hey you ask Boone pickens for predictions right? Here are a few for you
in his style.

$150 before $200 a barrel
$250 before $500 a barrel
Joe kernen being declared a moron before being declared a complete
idiot.
Hows that?

Here was his reply.

I'll bet you're an academic

Rarely do we get mail from such a pompous blowhard... but when we do
it's usually

from someone that couldn't get a real job

and finally mine back to him
You figured that all by yourself seeing my @edu address or did your co chimps help you?
Dispute one fact written below Joe I dare you.
As for a real job I have an MD and I am working on my PhD.
I truly regret not getting a "real" job like yours but they werent handing our free lobectomies anymore.
