until the f'ing votes were counted, or at a minimum until the polls closed to start the upward climb of gas prices again! from the time i filled up this morning until i drove by the very same station tonite after work, i S you not gas prices went up 6 cents.

i had heard that the oil companies were at the request of the "administration" bringing prices down to hopefully aid the GOP in this ever so important mid term election. you know fool the people again into thinking that our current leadership had righted things to some extent in that area? i thought that was a bit extreme for a conspiracy theory, but i am a believer now. from 2.26 a gallon this morning to 2.33 tonite. i am very curious to see what the prices are a week from now, but 2.50 and some sad excuse from the oil companies about "it's now winter and heating costs will drive gas back up"..

surprised? i should not be, and don't tell me that dubya did not place a call to his oil buddies. "just keep em low till after the election boys, it will pay off fer all us good old boys in the long term" "gotta keep the house and the congress in my favor". (insert jon steward's "dubya sinister laugh" here)

i will eat pelican if the prices trickle back down, but i suspect they will be going up in 6 or 8 cent jumps over the next few weeks till they settle back in at 3.00 a gallon.

like the Who sung, "we been had again"
