Palast comes up with one bogus theory after another. Is there any substance to this one?

I think we planned to ship it to Alaska and pretend we drilled it ourselves. ;)

Damn, can't they even come up with new conspiracy theories? I thought the left had all the "creative" types. I've heard this one, recycled, many times.

But where does the Free Masons and the little people who live underneath the North Pole fit into this?

...a secret plan, drafted just before the invasion in 2003...

Anther Leftist fork. The Left damns the Bush Administration for not having a plan for post-war reconstruction, but if there is a plan, it is a nefarious plot with all-purpose bogeyman "Big Oil".

If your mom was a dishwasher and your father was a plumber, how many pancakes would it take to cover a dog house? 6, because bananas don't float. We used to tell this joke anyone said anything that was logically absurd.

If this is true---why is gas $2.50 per gallon here in California now?

I don't see why this is necessarily bogus. Sounds like a good plan to me and one that neocons in the admin would have conceived. Breaking OPEC isn't such a bad thing is it? You don't think the big oil companies are complicit in these higher prices.

They need to dig deeper into this to help explain the disappearance of these oil magnates in 1971.

I always thought there was something fishy about that early 70's oil shortage...

BBC and Harper's.

Each is untrustworthy.

Together they're even more so.
