Don't laugh.

Pelosi owns stock in wind farms and you'd better believe she's done all she can to keep oil prices high.

Why do the prices at the pump shoot up like a rocket when crude prices increase but as crude prices decline the prices drop only pennies a week?

That's a freaking good question, in all honesty. It should decrease at about the same rate as it increases, but it NEVER DOES..... and that means that prices are either being fixed or our oil industry is seriously broken in the United States.

Amazing, right after Congress takes a break, and the Republicans/Bush won't get the vote they wanted on offshore drilling, the price goes down. Trying to hold us all hostage is their plan.

We are just a couple years from having cars that burn nearly no gas, but I am not going to hold my breath here, because big oil will be investing in them. If they can't steal from us one way they will just do it another way.
It would be great to wake up tomorrow and find that all plutocrats had choked to death on their greed.

They raise it really, really high so that when it comes down a little we get all excited. The Super WaWa in town put the gas station on the other side of the street out of business last year. As I rode by today the sign read Regular at $l.87 per gallon. Sigh.

Like I've said before, now we're cutting into the HUGE profits they're used to making.
