Now Iran will close the Straight of Hormel!

The donkey is about to hit the nun?

Our cyber-spooks should Spam their Iranian asses in retaliation

We've substituted the usual sanctions with Folgers, let's see what happens!

$4 a gallon by the end of the week?

stevegarbowski: The donkey is about to hit the nun?

I've seen that movie.

DOOOOOOOOOM! The world is ending. You'll never have to go to work again!

What am I going to put on my hot dogs?

moops: Now Iran will close the Straight of Hormel!

That's my colon after I eat Hormel chili.

No one really thought that all of those soldiers from Iraq were going to be brought back home to join our ranks of unemployed did they?

Fungible commodity. Iran can just sell their oil to Russia and China, as they have been. Though the ultra trolltastic thing to do would be to start selling oil to Israel via the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline again.

What's their angle here? Why are the Europeans scared of a nuclear-armed Iran? There are less Jews and less pre-millenial dispensationalists in Europe than in the the US. Are the Europeans just doing whatever the US asks in this instance? Not only does Greece buy a lot of Iranian oil, but Russia and Iran are friends. The rest of Europe buys methane from Russia. Why is this at all in Europe's interest?

I like the ladder coming down in the top center.

The oil markets are pretty calm at the moment

You mean Hormel beef-fat? It's not really chili.

/goes great with Velveeta

Those must have been some VERY strongly worded letters...

The oil is about to hit the hormuz

Not to mention, for every deployed service man I hear that there are like 5 domestic workers directly supporting the war effort (cited from Numbers out of my Arse)

Just in time for the elections!

thismomentinblackhistory: Too bad I can't fill-up in Moscow. It'll be cheap as hell there.

Both producers will adjust the supply. Gas will be cheap for about a week. Selling oil is all about margins.

Oh boy. Europe is starting another global war. Next they're going to get their asses kicked and expect the US to come and save them.

I say we invade Canada and Mexico and take their oil. Then we don't need the middle east.

I'm guessing that somehow this will result in gas prices going up at the station around the corner from me.

Considering that Europe is the prime consumer of Iranian oil, I'm trying to picture just what the hell they're thinking. Something to the effect of cutting off the hand to spite the finger...

Iranian nukes could easily reach Europe with existing technology?

No one wants Iran to nuke the Saudis?

But France and the UK are both not only nuclear, but thermonuclear, and are unlikely to show any hesitation in retaliating.

Dammit, I automatically read that in Heath Ledger's joker voice

It's a good time to reject the Keystone XL pipeline and delay issuing oil drilling permits.

I wonder if this will be good for China!

BigNumber12: Can someone please reassure me that the Jews are behind this?

Amos Quito will be along shortly.

Dammit I was just getting ready to buy a Hummer too...

This is the final nail in the coffin of the economies of Greece, Italy and Spain, each of which have had sweetheart deals with Iran to buy at a discounted price. It's a way to ensure they crash out of the Euro.... truly Machiavellian politics.

You know where? Yes. Fan. Fan is where.

Quick, someone send in Rick Steves to defuse the situation!

/only sorta joking

We should be fine until the oil hits the anus.
