The World Petroleum Prices

Crude oil is now over $50.00 a barrel, and the average price of Unleaded gas in the U.S. is now up to $1.99 a gallon.

Both of these are new record highs - but why should this be?

We know that none of the following could be reasons:

• California energy crisis
• Enron
• SUVs
• Demand from China
• Venezuela
• Nigeria
• Russia
• UN Oil for Food
• Iraq

Wait - I KNOW! It has to be about George W. Bush's illegal war, where he's trading American blood for Halliburton's profits!

Right?

I mean, it just has to be!
