Oil prices drop, easing fears of energy shock - International Herald Tribune

Whatever.

Why are journalists so damned dumb? Shock, I say. Get over it, morons. It was precisely what I said it was back in April. Speculators humping each other’s leg, and C-store owners stuffing it up the hinders of the traveling public. Summer travel season is pretty much over, so down come the pump prices.

Not so incidentally, down comes the demand from the ADHD American voters looking for relief right off our shores. The idiots will never ever stop to think that unleaded is forty or sixty cents higher than it was before all the energy shock bullshit started. And they’ll elect more Democrats who block actually producing the stuff in our backyard so as to make sure that Teddy Kennedy dies in view of a pristine horizon.

Screw ‘em all, says I. We’ll pay, one way or another, but eff it. You can’t stop us. Nobody has yet. Americans do what the Marines say - adapt, improvise, and overcome.
