Stupid is my new favorite word. I use it so much that when I utter the word, I could be talking about the fat king kong hog oil companies or the White House.

Gas prices have soared to nearly $4.00 a gallon and are expected to climb over the summer months. For all you people who are not especially good at math, that means that the average American working for $9.00 an hour, needs to work seven hours to pay for fifteen gallon’s of gas.

Wasn’t this whole war supposed to get us some oil? Recently I read an article that the Democrats want Iraq to ante up the rebuilding of their country in oil. Here’s a snippit:

“Democrats plan to push legislation this spring that would force the Iraqi government to spend its own surplus in oil revenues to rebuild the country, sparing U.S. dollars.

Iraq has about $30 billion in surplus funds stored in U.S. banks, according to Levin.”

Let’s see… 115.00 a barrel of oil...divided by 30 billion… works out to 260,869,565 barrels of oil. I think.

Anyway, that’s almost one barrel of oil per American.

I think it’s a swell idea..
