With gas at $4.00 a gallon, what is your theory on what has caused the cost of fuel to rise so dramatically?
1. Oil companies (and OPEC) are understating their proven reserves volume to create an artificial bubble in the commodities market - thus greatly increasing their own profit margin.
2. Poor dollar performance along with increased demand from China and India are causing speculative traders to reinvest heavily in crude to greatly increase their profit potential.
3. World oil production has reached peak status and have began the decline period of the bell curve. Increased demand met with a diminishing world supply will bring forth the fall of modern society.
4. It's all the government's fault.
I'm sure he's senile and smells of mothballs. He probably hates Croats and Koreans as well. He doesn't tip pizza drivers, has a thing for cable porn, and when asked once what it was like to be a senior Senator, said, "You know...it's like Cube says... life ain't nothin' but bitches and money....oh...and lobbyists and golf trips as well."
I heard he was loved long time in the Hanoi Hilton and now has a half-breed child.
Okay... none of this is true...although Karl Rove did secretly push the bit about the half-breed in the 2000 South Carolina Primary.
And the mothballs... plus he looks like an albino.
Actually I figured with all of the Obama hate that is popping up, someone needs to balance things out a little bit.
