There is a conspiracy going on here folks. Ike has partnered with the oil companies to scare folks, this time perhaps convincing the entire Gulf coast to evacuate. And you just know McCain and Palin are involved in this too.
As a result everyone will now be rushed to the pumps to fill up and leave their homes.
