i don't disagree with what you're saying, but as i said before, the price increases - dramatically so - are just too well-timed with the "stimulus" checks coming. it doesn't pass the smell test.

i won't speculate on whom coordinated this. bush doesn't seem bright enough to do it. the dems hate oil as much as they do christians. i don't know. but i do know that when i get my money on friday, and head to IL next week, i'll be spending about half on gasoline. that sucks.
