Elton writes an OpEd today, and gifts us with, among other things, the following notions:
-Democrats have held the majority in the house for tw years, during which time gas prices have continued to rise, and
-Clearly we can solve our problems by cutting gas taxes, drilling in ANWR, and blaming the democrats.
The comments thread, even at this early hour, is long and indignant over at the VC Star.
Elton, dear:
Gas prices are rising because your friends at Exxon are exploiting the opportunity to make historic profits, because OPEC is not playing by the rules, because your president and your party have neglected any proposal that didn't reward the right companies for 7 long years, because oil, too, is being heavily commoditized (is that a word?), and because, frankly, we're too dependant on all of the players at this late date. Cutting 18 cents a gallon off my fill up isn't going to do much except take money out of infrastructure, either.
Trying to blame the democrats is a bit whiny, too.
On this one, I'm giving you stupid 20/ evil 80. Static 80/ signal 20.
