When I was eating my breakfast this morning I caught a bit of the morning news. They had a story on pawn shop owners who say their business is up 30% because of the high gas prices. They even had a dude on who was pawning his fathers watch for gas money.
Had enough yet?
Chris Matthews, right wing flip-flopping stooge, had on Larry Lindsey who had originally said that the Iraq war would significantly reduce the price at the pump. He called him on it and Larry, in classic apologist fashion, denied ever having said such a thing. Too bad we have video evidence. Whoops! I wonder if Larry will come back and say that nuking Iran will lower gas prices.
Had enough yet?
Posted by jherr at April 21, 2006 08:55 AMSome Republican apologist was on the radio the day before yesterday listing reasons why the price of gas has gone up so high. A few of his reasons made sense. But I noticed he didn't mention that high gas prices fund, for instance, the $400 million golden parachute retirement package Exxon/Mobil gave their departing CEO this month.
I pulled together a little info about the sweetheart relationship Exxon/Mobil maintains with powerful incumbents, and posted it at

Folks who are feeling cranky about their gas bills might want to have a peek at it.
