10. Bush is gonna lose the Nasdad vote...
Because the price of gas is almost double what it was when he took office! Many Americans assumed (in the back of their minds)that if we conquered Iraq, the price of fuel would be low enough by election time, to have jumpstarted the economy, and Bushco would easily remain in office. Cynical, but true.

Didn't happen. Not gonna happen. Every time someone welds a pipeline together in Iraq, an Arab runs over and blows it back up...I know, I know-we weren't getting that oil anyhow, it was going somewhere else; but markets are interconnected (though not with 100% coorelation) and events in Iraq definitely impact us here. ALso, Opec is gonna keep supply tight, they say.

Then too, it is truly written, "every time an Arab oilman makes a dollar, a Texas oilman makes two" (quoting myself here, lol). Nasdad is beginning to realize that.

"Gentlemen: start your engines!!!

I would, but I'm outta gas. And it's your fault!!!!
