I read today that the administration is going to go ahead and keep buying oil for the National Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Now why are we, the taxpayers, buying oil when it is the highest price it's ever been? Why is this a good deal for us? I would submit that it is not. It is, however, a great deal for the House of Saud, who do better and better the higher oil goes.....


And finally, this is over-dramatic and doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but it's also worthwhile as art, I think, because it makes one think.
