Lifting a truth-telling leg
Yesterday, the Tennessean featured on the front page of its "Business" section a top-fold story 'bout declining gas prices. Naturally, a picture of an individual wearing an Obama button was included with the story.
The subliminal message, of course, from this story is: Obama's the New Messiah and Th' Man, so he's responsible for now-cheap gas.
B. Hussein Obama has about as much to do with the current price of gas - and oil - as he does for making sure the sun will come up in the west tomorrow.
Gas is now cheaper because (a) world-wide demand is down, and (b) the U.S. Dollar Index Future is up, up, up. To wit:
That said ... if the dumpy broad in the above picture had been wearing a "McCain-Palin" button when the Tennessean's photog seen her, do you think her visage would've been front-page-published in Nashville's paper of record?
You do?! Wanna buy my bag full o' rubber nickels?
