This is Total Bullshit (tm)

What the fuck is this? (This link's broken. The article was something about terrorism and it's effect on fuel prices, I think.) No, seriously, what the hell? The Bush administration sees the economy running relatively smoothly, gasoline prices falling back to reasonable levels, and John Kerry getting a big boost in the news (but not the polls) by picking a VP, and what do they do? Spout some bullshit about terrorism!

And don't give me any of that shit about a tinfoil hat theory, they're doing this on purpose. The article even says that the market tends to get a boost whenever terrorism is brought up.

Just a side note, whoever wrote the article apparently never took a college Econ course. He says US oil inventories didn't rise as much as expected due to a high gasoline demand. Well no shit, Sherlock, of course there was high gas demand, the price per gallon of gas has dropped some 50 cents in a few weeks! Low price = high demand, fuckstick. Remember that. There'll be a quiz later.

But back to the point, the Bush administration doesn't want low gas prices, so they prattle on about terrorism and the price of oil (and thus, gas) shoots up. That, my friends, is Total Bullshit (tm).
