Independent truck drivers are organizing a protest in Washington today, in response to rising gas prices. While I caught a listing for the event in the AP Daybook, I haven’t witnessed it — I have taken in first and second-hand accounts of their lap around around downtown Washington (specifically to honk at the White House and the Capitol), and their rally (I think they parked their trucks at RFK after their lap).
They plan another lap to disrupt rush hour later, I’m told.
Meanwhile, BoingBoing has a post citing the New York Sun’s reporting on some speculation that American gas prices will have to be more in line with Europe’s (approaching $10 a gallon) sooner rather than later.
