Record Gasoline prices to Fuel Bush's Defeat

Well, that's not exactly how the headline reads. But, if you have to spend more on energy costs, then you have less to spend on everything else, which costs more due to increased shipping costs due to higher energy costs.

This has to be another chink in Bush's armor.

Or a 'twofer,' if you're so inclined. Not only have his abysmal foreign policies increased geo-political risks, but he has gutted the EPA whilst doing so. A real bonus for those of you lucky enough to hitch a ride to the nearest habitable planet.

For the rest of us, it's just really bleak.
