Gas may be headed back near $2: Industry analyst sees prices between $2 and $2.50 by Thanksgiving
Hey, don’t get me wrong; I have no problem with the idea of paying lower prices for gasoline. Less is better, no? Unfortunately, I’m just cynical enough to think that perhaps the coincidence here is just a wee bit too much to ignore. There’s been some speculation about the possibility of an “October Surprise” prior to the election, and while I don’t know that the gradual decrease in the price of gasoline might fit the bill, you can bet the Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader will milk a significant price drop for any possible political advantage that might be gleaned from it. As if anything he has done or will do will have any impact at all on the price at the pump.
Hey, if they’ll lie to use about WMDs in Iraq, and if they’ll propagandize the American sheeple into thinking that Iraq was involved in 9.11, is it really a stretch to think that they’ll take credit for a drop in the price of gasoline? If you think it is, you might want to consider removing your anterior from your posterior.
