Heh. This is funny even by Fox News standards.

Apparently, the network featured a caption which read:

"Gas Prices up 39% Since Dems Pick Nancy Pelosi"

Good, this provides me another opportunity to run this:

I wonder if--being "fair and balanced"--FNC has run a similar graphic which read:

"Gas Prices UP 114% Since Bush Entered White House"

On a more serious note, I wouldn't be surprised if energy becomes a an even more important 2008 election issue than we're seeing now. Prices could be higher in a year, helping push the economy into a recession.

Unfortunately, there aren't many viable short-term remedies to this problem. And the steps we should be taking aren't getting much play by the candidates. America's political leadership is way behind the curve on energy.
