Jaded JD openly wonders as to why gas prices have lowered to neatly co-incide with rising popularity for the President and the Republicans in Congress:
A conspiracy theorist might say, given the closeness between the Administration and some oil companies, that the liberal’s bogeyman, Karl Rove, is arranging for lower retail gas prices despite market supply/demand mechanics in order to manipulate a political result. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I’m not attempting to explain the correlation. I’m not going to suggest a causation relationship, and I’m definitely not going to suggest any dark, behind-the-scenes quasi-governmental interference with market mechanics for political purposes.
After all, I’m just a casual observer.
I think the last time someone wondered openly like this, Thomas a Becket got killed.
Will no one rid the Jaded JD of these meddlesome Republicans???
