It's them EVIL SPECULATORS! It's them EVIL SPECULATOR! It's them EVIL SPECULATORS!

Ain't that right, Senator McCain? Senator Obama?

If we put Obama's and McCain's together in one jar we might have enough to operate a clone of Warren G. Harding.

As for the United States Congress, never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I have never seen my government in as sad a shape as it is in today.

Pray tell Bob, who might that man be?

Noharness - do you mean to say that you do NOT think speculation is driving this market? Has world consumption increased 200-300% since last year? I doubt it. With a weak dollar and slowing global economy, pumping money into oil seems like a good bet.

Ban speculation and trade in paper barrels and the price will drop immediately. It will tank. Heh heh.

Oh wait, then we will have to bail out the speculators who got burned in the housing market, then got burned while they were skinning us with oil prices.

'Let'em burn.'
