Gas Price Conspiracy Revealed!

The day after the election last November, I told all the students I taught in high school that in a year they would be paying $3.00 a gallon for gas. Those who were happy Bush had won snorted out a Bush-like smirk at my ignorance. All those who were unhappy to see Bush sneak in for a second term expressed outrage that I might possibly be right. Sad to say my prediction at this point looks like it may possibly have been lowballed.

There are many theories around for why gasoline prices have risen steadily since Bush first took office, and especially why prices have spiked significantly since he announced the end of hostilities in Iraq. (You do remember that hostilities ended in Iraq some time ago, don't you?) It does seem rather remarkable that gasoline prices have gone UP since we unofficially made Iraq our 51st state. After all, this was supposed to be all about oil, wasn't it?

There is a definitely a war specifically over taking place, but it's not located entirely within the Middle East. The true battleground of this war is actually in America.

At what point will you get so outraged over the price of gas that you demand that action be taken? Three bucks? Four bucks? Be careful when you set a limit and be VERY careful about your complaints. Because as long as Bush is in power, and thankfully his reign of terror is coming closer to an end with every day, there is only going to be one outcome of this war.

If you're hoping that the outcome is going to be full scale investment in alternative power sources, then you're a hippie who has smoked too much pot. Investment in solar power and electric cars and a massive PR movement to convince drivers to buy hybrid cars are a long, long way off. Roughly a year before it's determined that there are no more fossil fuels left in the center of the earth. After that, count on the "sudden" discovery of a method of making electric cars that can go 120mph and 500 miles on a five minute charge. As for solar power ever becoming a viable source, forget it. Even Karl Rove wouldn't be able to convince the American people that the sun can actually be owned by a conglomerate.
