How Did Gas Prices Get So High?



Bella Ciao has a plausible explanation:
The biggest reason pump prices have risen is the surging global price of crude oil, which was caused by the war in Iraq.

One thing that’s never talked about is how much oil the war machine uses. Think about all those tanks, planes, aircraft carriers etc... shipping troops and equipment around the world...

That's one gay marriage I do find offensive.

Hmmm...I never thought of that relationship. I actually thought they might be brothers. After all, the Bush family (that includes Barbara) have been in bed with the Saudis for a long time.
