JIMINY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!

I have been primitive camping since o'dark thirty Tuesday. I've been trying to get news on radio but it's been spotty. (Ironically, KFI and KNX came in better there at night than they do at my house. But by the time I was able to hear anything it's been punditry and weird reports that I can't quite wrap my head around being actually true.)

Anyway, the world seems to have gone nuts. It was somewhat charming to try and get news from such a remote place. In a nutshell can you explain the gist of what's happening now and why gas in this rural Utah town we passed today is nearing $3.25 for regular unleaded?

My dear friend. I don't think anyone can give you an idea of whats going on as well as when you return home and are able to look for yourself by way of the net.
Knowing you as I do I think you'll begin to get nuts when you see how many people are trying to turn this into ' Bush's Hurricane '.
Hope you had a great vacation but I really hope your home for your weekly Drudge thread.
