Sure the $US went up 2 cents against the $EU. This was not the cause of much of anything, although it did happen at about the same time. The cause of the increase in the price of crude is being investigated now and any suggestion is as good as the next.

I am getting a bit tired of hearing from the “experts” and it is about time the jerkoffs in DC drop the enviro insanity and open everything up for exploration and drilling, coal mining, nukes, whatever.
Or is our almighty “government” not as smart as the Brazilians?
I thought it was because Israel was talking tough about dealing with Iran.....but what do I know?
