Perhaps the oil co. were behind this.

1. The fall clearance sale is over.
Looks like oil will break $100/bbl early in the new year.

Prepare for $4+/gal. go-juice come spring ($5+/gal. on the coasts).

2. That's how I found out!
My phone rang early yesterday morning; it was my friend calling to tell me gas had gone up 10 cents a gallon and oh, BTW, Bhutto had been killed.

5. Ours went from $2.65 to $2.87 (some to $2.98) in one day!
I thought I was losing my memory, as I kept seeing the prices go up as I ran errands. I finally stopped and gassed up before it got any worse. Bhutto's death was the only reason I could see for the rise. That really burns me.

6. Cinsidering Musharraf is a Bushie, and the Oil Co.'s are Inner Circle Bushies
this may be technically true.

Bhutto's biggest mistake was in thinking the BushMafia had anything else in mind besides getting her killed and buying more of Musharraf's loyalty with her blood.

She got "invited to a sitdown" and the one's she thought were her firends were the ones who lured her to her death.
