When it costs north of $60.00 to fill up a Ford Fusion, we have a problem. The Obama's energy policy, the Democrat refusal to utilize our own natural resources, the declining value of the dollar due to The Obama's economic policies all are contributing to high gas prices.
It is a good thing the Government decided food and gas do not count into the inflation index, otherwise the current administration would look more like that of Jimmah Carter than most of us realize. Have you bought groceries lately?
Hope and change indeed.

Yes, and the only reason the bacon wasn't nearly 8 bucks a pound was that it was the sell-by date and we got it for $3.49 instead.
Bacon at 8 bucks a pound means revolution to me.
Using viable feed and food for fuel instead of drilling for available oil is just crazy. Turning corn into gas -- at a financial loss -- is one of the dumbest ideas in the history of man.
I have a couple of more efficient ideas on how to turn corn into a combustible liquid.
1. Sell corn to Mexico, use proceeds from sale to buy oil.
2. Feed corn to cow, slaughter cow, sell cow to Saudi Arabia. Use proceeds from sale to buy oil.
3. Sell corn to Americans, use proceeds to drill for oil in America.
I take it nobody here likes "George W's Third Term" so far: Unconstitutional interventionist wars, a blind eye for the southern border, ever-running red ink, printing presses and defecits and ever rising prices...BTW Joe, the 0bammunist didn't start ethanol, but like the war he has no plans to stop it - BanKhazar's will be done on Libya as it is in Israel.
The hope was hype. There is NO fucking change, beyond the President's color - the incompetence level is more of the same.
Most of that gas price is the ever escalating price of spiritualist altruism: The Khazar-Papist cabal trying to buy its way into heaven.
Whenever some bunch of politicians tries to bring "heaven on earth" they end up unleashing hell instead...
Time to VOTE LIBERTARIAN, not just talk it!
I enjoy your blog very much.
What I'm currently doing to offset high gas prices is purchasing some shares of UGA, a fund that tracks the price of United States Gasoline. Buying on the dips, and selling on the surges, helps...pay for my gas.

Voting Libertarian is like peeing yourself in a dark suit -- you get a warm feeling but nobody notices.
Try again, Ted.
A Ford?
Yeah, the high gas prices are the Dems fault. Please tell me you don't believe that line of BS?
Well anonymous, which party just refused to drill off the coast of Alaska? Which party (and President by EO)has stopped off shore drilling on the Atlantic Shelf, ANWAR and the shale fields in the Dakotas? Which party put a moritorium on deep water drilling and has only issued a handful of permits since a court ordered the moritorium illegal? Which party has stopped the building of every new refinery proposed since the late 1970's?
If you said "Democrats" then I guess we know who to blame. Prices are simple economics -- Supply and Demand. If the supply were to increase, prices would go down.
If that concept eludes you,then a smack from the invisible hand is in order.
In addition, the "print money like there is no tomorrow" (look up QE2) scheme has driven down the value of the dollar. A weaker dollar means it takes more of them to buy goods overseas. We buy much of our oil offshore. A weak dollae means higher crude prices which means higher prices at the pump.
Which administration has weaken the dollar through quantative easing?
Bueller?...Bueller?
