The Pendulum Swings

Did you notice how no-one is talking about "high gas prices" anymore? I paid $1.69 a gallon today and filled up my monstrous V8 engined truck for less than $30. On the way out I laughed at a Prius driver as he crawled along in his ugly scarab-like transportation with its inbuilt "scrap it when the battery dies" obsolescence. Yeah, not so smug now are we, green boy?

You can't get a balanced opinion from the media anymore - everything is a "disaster" or "unprecedented", and requires "urgent government action". The truth is that life goes in cycles - gas gets expensive and then it gets cheap. Houses get overpriced and then they get underpriced. Banks lend to everyone with a pulse and then lend to no-one at all. Voters elect liberal cockmunchers, then remember why they shouldn't and go on to elect Republicans. Even the weather was supposed to be "cold, with highs in the 40's all week", just because it was cold on Sunday and they couldn't seem to imagine it ever getting warm again. It was back up to 60F the next day.

Maybe it's time to buy a nice big SUV and start preparing for global cooling.
