I love
this bit from RINOvich on the price of gasoline. Now, I don't know if the reporter didn't give us the whole story or what, but The Crying Man isn't exactly putting forth any solutions to the actual problem. Why do I suspect that the Hero of the Second Battle of Lake Erie is just whining and not really committed to a solution? Well,
his record for one thing.

If you want to bring down the cost of gasoline, we need to increase
America's supply of oil. That means that
America has to start drilling for more oil...somewhere. Maybe the senator ought to get a briefing on this subject before he shows up on a radio show and makes a fool of himself...again.
