Dick Cheney: Our Hero
Gas prices are going out of control. I paid $3.57/gallon for regular gas. Rather than accept the price increase, I instead put $20 worth of gas in the car and that’s it till the next time I’m paid. Whatever that $20 buys is as far as I drive. Fortunately for me, I can walk to work, don’t have a ton of kid driving to do anymore, and have nearby grocery stores, so what it means for me is not doing any optional things. Not such a bad thing.
Forgive my skepticism, but when I read that gas prices are going higher and oil is setting a new record at $108 per barrel, largely because OPEC refuses to release more oil into the supply, my mind starts thinking about the Bush oil interests and the words “money grab”, alongside the word “profiteering”.
So who is going to rescue us from this muddle? Dick Cheney, of course. Don’t you feel better now?
