lol.  I think this guy is actually honest.  Honestly crazy, that is.  $4 gallon prices can be gotten around by the normal person(public transportation, car pooling, hybrid/diesel vehicles, non-gasoline conveyance), but what worries me to near sickness is the cost of transportation of goods and services:  the grocery store trucks, farm equipment, airlines, police, ambulance, and fire services, not to mention all the various goods that are derived from petroleum products.

In the last year, the price of eggs has shot up 40 percent, compared with this time last year. The price of milk rose 26 percent over the same period. Other staple items such as spaghetti are up 18 percent, and ground beef up close to 7 percent.

Bush/Cheney are laughing now.    But war crimes and fraud indictments should stop that in the future.

Even Pelosi is laying low, knowing congress would lock-up an impeachment, but soon all control will be lost to him, and Bush will pay his dues. 8)
