Riddle Me This, Part Deux.

So I just went for a fill up at the gas station/ convenience store/ gathering place/ donut shoppe around the corner. My new Mini Cooper, bless its thirsty little heart, takes premium.

Well, whodathunkit, I paid $264.9/ gallon.

Imagine that.

It’s no coincidence I say. Every year before a national election, prices go down in the months before the election. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

The conspiracist in me believes Big Oil wants to hoodwink us into thinking things aren’t so bad under the Republicans, so they can stay in office. Then Big Oil would get to continue getting obscene tax breaks that fuel its more than obscene profits.

Don’t fall prey to the ploy. Please.
