Got Gas?
In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, one of the principle arguments put forth by the screaming loudmouth long-haired hippy anti-war activists was that it was all about getting access to cheap oil. Well, it did seem to make sense at the time, and so I foolishly bought into the idea. The idea that Bush and Cheney would invade another country just to please their big campaign donors certainly seemed plausible.

Based on that, as well as the fact that I occasionally buy gasoline, I became a fervent supporter of the war.

So now here we are a year later, and the price of regular unleaded is on the verge of hitting two bucks a gallon. With OPEC's cutback in production announced today, it may even end up hitting three dollars before long.

It just goes to show you: Never trust a liberal.
