Welcome to the World of $4 Per Gallon Gasoline

I spotted this sign at an area gas station on Friday. The posted prices are typical of current gasoline prices out here. Somebody please send this photo to George Bush. When asked by a reporter just two weeks ago about the prospect of four dollar per gallon gasoline this spring, Bush said, "That's interesting . . . I hadn't heard that."

I guess George Bush cannot be expected to know the price of gasoline. After all, Bush rides in the back of a limousine driven by Secret Service agents. Bush doesn't buy his own gas. We, the taxpayers, buy it for him. So the price of gasoline is this Bush's supermarket scanner.

And it isn't even spring yet.
