The Saudi king seems to understand that high oil prices have been the result of oil speculation. Why can't Bush??!!

Who says he can't. May be he is the really clever one here. His pals are certainly making money. Lets see the pay off after 2008 and the boards he joins with a lot of compensation for the flack he's taking.

You are a clever guy too. Hasn't this crossed you mind. Ok, I can say this from a safe distance and you know that Bush only acts the clown at times. McCain on the other hand. Near bottom in a class of 500 says something.

I very much realize that Bush is smarter than that. Democrats in Congress, however, seem completely ignorant of it (or maybe they aren't either). They're all crooks, we need to ban political parties. Politicians need to be independent so they can represent the voters who put them in office.

This is completely off topic, but I need to stop clipping AP stories... Bloggers need to boycott them to put them in their place.
