Yes, I believe you will find information to support that idea among the links.
I've begun to notice that some are twisted to the right while others are twisted to the left, and over the last year or so, there are more and more twisted to the left.
Is that a moral issue?
Is that an election issue?
And, did the wire tie do it?
Thank you.
Democrats want Republicans to pay for high gas prices -- Do the Dems have a plan to bring down gas prices or is the plan the usual...just blame Bush? --
Gee, gas too expensive? I know how to reduce the price by a nationwide average of 42%...

The movie was called "Oil Storm" and was on FX last June (part was filmed here in Austin). Basic premise is that a major hurricane hits the New Orleans area Labor Day weekend, 2005. Because fo the resulting damage, oil prices spike upward and gas goes to $3+ per gallon. Because of the damage, oil imports are diverted to the Port of Houston. Because of the tight shipping lanes and increased traffic, there is an accident between tankers thats damages the port. Terrorists hit Saudi oil sites, we send in the military to protect the oil infrastructure, all the while oil prices continue to climb. At it's worst, the price per gallon is over $8 and the economy is in crisis. People freeze to death because they can't heat their homes, riots break out, we get in a bidding war with China over Russian oil supplies, etc.
