Dems and gas prices...

I love the conspiracy stories that crop up about oil.

For example, President Bush wants oil prices to be higher to make money for his oil buddies. But then if prices come down, then President Bush is responsible for that-- in a devious strategy to get us to vote for him. OK...

That's not an "explanation"; that's a story (and not a very good one). That's not logic; that's evidence of a neurosis.

OK, here's one for you conspiracy buffs out there:

The Democrats want gas prices to be higher-- to discourage consumption and to encourage a move toward alternative energy. So, they are purposefully devaluing the dollar to drive up gas prices.

Very clever!
