Um, which part was inaccurate?

                    ###

The industry is having a feeding frenzy?

All the majors are re****ting record profits.

                    ###

Republicans have been blocking CAFE standards and such?

Look at the votes in Congress.

                    ###

The dollar is falling?

Read the business pages.

                    ###

That Bush has had an irresponsible borrow-and-spend
fiscal policy?

Note that record deficits are forecast for this fiscal
year.

                    ###

That speculators have exacerbated the problem?

There's no cut-and-dried proof here, but note that
inventories were rising as prices rose.  That often
tells you that you're looking at a speculative bubble.

                    ###

That Republicans have blocked anti-speculation
legislation?

That's a matter of record.

                    ###

Look, people with particular sets of values can 
accurately "blame" Democrats for gay marriage and a
variety of other social changes.  If it weren't for
Democrats, we'd still have them niggers riding in the
back of the bus rather than running for President.

But high oil prices are almost exclusively the result
of Republican political actions.  It's not an accident --
it's a result they deliberately set out to achieve.

Get over it.

The really neat thing that the Republican party has
learned of late is that if you can assemble a voting
block of the stupid and the poorly educated, you can
actually get the fools to sup****t policies that actively
transfer wealth from the middle class to a very small
group of very rich people.

Unless you happen to be very rich, congratulations on
belonging to a voting block of the stupid and poorly
educated.

Cheers, Wolf.
