Gaseous Expulsions

There’s a scene in the movie “Jaws” that I am particularly fond of. Capt. Quint (played by Robert Shaw) is describing what it’s like to look into the eyes of a shark and says “Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes.”

I feel the same way when I look at Nancy Pelosi. She’s got lifeless eyes. Clueless is a good way to describe her views on high gas prices and oil exploration. She calls drilling in protected areas a hoax and blames Bush administration policies for driving up prices. Really? That gigantic gas bubble, Al Gore, used fancy charts and graphs to make his case. I shall do the same, but without boring you to tears.

Let’s take a look at gas prices before and after the Dimocrats seized control of both chambers of Congress:

I think this graph speaks for itself. Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
