Gas prices

I actually bought gas the other day for $1.33/gallon. Oh man, that was sweet.

There was a popular bumper sticker not too long ago that said "When Bush took office, gas was $1.46." No further details, but the implication was chimpy Bush and his cronies had jacked up the prices. You know, just sayin' . . .

Well, as of Dec. 29, the national average price of a gallon of gas was $1.59; adjusted for 2001 dollars, it works out to $1.33, 9% lower than when Bush took office.

I am educated enough to know that Bush personally did not have anything to do with gas prices during the last 8 years.

I'm just sayin' . . .
