I just this minute read an AP report about how the price for crude oil hit an all-time record today of nearly $67 a barrel The report says the reason is because of US refinery outtages and the hurricane threat in the Gulf area. Let me see if I can figure this out. The people who buy the crude oil are saying... we can't refine it, and the hurricanes might mean we can't deliver it, so hmmm. we better buy some more crude, and pay more for it!

And then I went to look for my Shrub Quote of the Day and look what it was: "It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas." --George W. Bush, Beaverton, Ore., Sep. 25, 2000 I was laughing my head off reading this. And then I went to look for my Shrub Quote of the Day and look what it was:

A picture is worth a thousand words... <img src="http://www.stengazette.org/bushabd.jpg" alt="bushabd" /> --editor's note: The above comment was sent with a link to the photo, which shows Bush holding hands with (then) Crown Prince (now King) Abdulla of Saudi Arabia. The president kissed the prince on both cheeks when they met. The kisses and the handholding are normal male behavior in Arab cultures. Thus the kissing and handholding should be seen not as homosexual behavior but as an indication of the extent to which America must kiss Saudi ass to protect our primary source of oil, and the Bush family's primary source of income.-- Kudos to the Daily Show for explaining it, and to you guys for putting it in context but you left out an important part of the Oil Cycle, which is like this:
