There is a lot of complaining, whining, lying, misleading, and really bad analysis going on right now vis-a-vis high gas prices. The latest I saw (early this morning) was an analysis that shows a lack of parity between the percentage increase in the price of a barrel of oil and the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump. Look, I am not an economist or an expert on these matters. But rather than just moaning about the price of gas and then uttering some disembodied, meaningless statistic I heard from some dude, I have actually been listening to experts over the last few days. And, as with just about everything, to more I learn about an issue, the more I realize how important it is to study things before making snap judgments or determining a personal policy position. Here's the scoop as I now understand it...

The price of a gallon of gasoline is only partially determined by the price of a barrel of...

This was TownHall's apology:

• Editors' note: For a brief period early Wednesday, this column was incorrectly listed with the byline of Tony Snow. This article is by Tony Blankley. Especially given today's news of Tony Snow choice as the new White House spokesman, we regret this error and apologize to our readers for the confusion.

I am in shock. Can't blame any reporter for using Tony's words today.

Who would ever think that mistake would happen on this day.

[hattend]

The rank is:

#1 Boxer
#2 Pelosi
#3 Feinstein

[OldFriend]

LOL......she's a San Francisco Treat!!!

[AliVeritas]

Hey comrade, I used to live there... I escaped.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

LOL! Doesn't he make your skin crawl? He's so self righteous and pompous.

[gov_bean_ counter]

This is the same kind if lunacy that fails to realize that people adjust behaviors (investment patterns) based on capital gains tax rates.

[LibertyLee]

I didn't know that...especially since they're the ones who have to pay for the Big Shampoo...That's good information. And unlike those of us who simply drink water or milk, they really NEED their shampoo for their existence!

[angcat]

He made my skin crawl! YUCK

[Clint N. Suhks]

Maybe there should be a daily bash-Sean thread and then I can pee in THEIR cornflakes.

Oh my! Between the imagery, agreeing with you and laughing so hard...

[OldFriend]

I never read Townhall and don't even remember how I came to read it early this morning.

I am still in shock about their error.

[Roccus]

I only worked there and that was bad enough.

[LibertyLee]

Good morning, hattend! I guess you're right, except we hear so much more of Pelosi than Boxer. But upon reflection, she really is a number of cards short of a full deck when I listen to her on the Senate floor...

[Sensei Ern]

Dennis Miller loves President Bush, too, but he is definately a liberal, turning conservative.

[ChicagoConservative27]

If Reid is pushing something... I will pass.

[OldFriend]

I still can't believe it.

Funny thing, I was thinking that Tony Blankley would be a great press secretary!

Who knew he played on for one morning in April.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

LOL! Looking at the libs protesting, I would have thought that they have never seen a bottle of shampoo or the women, a bottle of hair color for that matter!

[AliVeritas]

They're printing a lie... too many people can't find it. I have over fifty emails in my box right now from those who can't and are trying to figure out what's going on.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL - great story!
