Gas starts its slide for McBush

A while back I predicted that gas prices would tumble a bit as companies do anything they can to keep the Bush/McCain administration in power. Big Oil. Big Mac. McBush. Whatever term you choose for the death of high quality of life. The prices are going down. After a dime decline in average price, McCain said it was because Bush talked about offshore drilling. How stupid are people who think that approving new areas for drilling is going to affect gas prices now? How about 20 years from now? That's how long it would take to set up and see the impact of all this new drilling talk. And it's just more profit for the biggest money makers in the world.

So we'll see gas prices continue to drop until the November election and then they will shoot up afterward like they did in 2004. And remember, the average price was around $1.47 when Bush took office. Now it hangs around $4. And we're to be happy that Bush/McCain talks drop it by a dime? Whoopee.

Fossil fuel will continue to be the primary cause of the decline of mankind until we wake up.
