Coincidence?
Alright, what the hell is going on here. Now, I'm not usually the one to wax politisophical (don't wanna step on Joe's toes), but seriously, there is something fishy going on here. I filled up my car yesterday with 10 gallons and it came to $25.00. At first I thought something was wrong because I knew I was on 'E' and it normally goes over $30. Then I noticed that gas prices are ridiculously low. (I haven't filled up in like 2 weeks). Okay, that can be rationalized, right? I mean, it's not like there is a production halt going on in Alaska (BP) and all of our Gulf rigs are back online (not). Maybe Venezuala is hooking us up on the cheap. Yeah, that must be it. Alright, whatever. Gas is cheaper...good. Then, as if that wasn't blissful enough, the stock market has hit an all-time high! Yay! It must be a direct result of all that good news we've been getting from corporate America (Hi HP!).
In summation....Yay government! Everything is good! Thank goodness the elections are coming up so I can show my support for the magical goodness of the GOP! Yay!

Oh yeah! The one that's 4 miles below the ocean floor? Whoopee! They must've lowered gas prices in anticipation of the oil we will be able to retrieve years from now!
"it could be the biggest domestic oil find in 38 years, but production is years away, and even then it won't reverse America's growing reliance on imports or have any meaningful effect at the gasoline pump." - CNN.com
