Welly, welly, well -- two months ago, who'd a thunk it? Driving by the Kwik Trip on the corner I see gas selling for $2.149, just like back in the good old days when auto petrol was just too expensive, not ruinous.
Good lord, wasn't it just back in June when anyone with a wit about them consigned Sweet Shelly Bachmann to the ranks of the terminally dingy when she suggested that if we were to drill, baby ,drill the price of gas would drop back to two bucks. And all us pink-diapered lefty sympathizers know she would have been laughed out of office if sh had suggested that we might well be driving to the polls on $2 a gallon gas on Election Day ... and if it were to happen, we all had the dots connected and the conspiracy concocted linking Exxon Mobil, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, the Republican National Committee and all the Sheiks of Araby.
Well Michele is on the verge of being laughed out of office any way, gas or no gas, and the virtually the only drilling that's gone on since June has taken place in dentist's offices. It appears all it took to bring down the price at the pump was a world-wide economic collapse. You betcha, nothing like the prospect of a real life sequel to The Grapes of Wrath to take the fun out of international commerce.
So here we are with cheap(er) gas on every corner and nowhere to go.
Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?
