Governed by Fools

Under pressure to do something about high gasoline prices, President Bush on Tuesday announced a series of measures, among them temporarily halting deposits to the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve to make more oil available for consumer needs.

In a speech on energy policies, the president added that he had ordered investigations into whether the price of gasoline has been illegally manipulated.

Coupled with this, it’s clear that Republicans are either just as stupid, economically speaking, as Democrats or politically afraid of standing for anything. Either way, it’s plain as the nose on my face that I’m governed by fools.
