The Oil Price Conspiracy, continued

Stories about falling gas prices just don't pack an entertainment punch the way stories about waiting in long lines at the pump, forgoing food to fill up your Hummer, and riding to work on a low-cost, emissions-free unicycle can.

But, we can always find a good conspiracy theory to fill the void. The latest is that Republicans are manipulating oil markets to bring prices down before Election Day.

As effective an idea as that would be, I have two little questions: When did Bush get enough clout in the Middle East to move oil prices and why hasn't he used it to find Osama?
