At the Pump: Down with Gas!
Gas prices are down -- it's party time! All it takes is a hearty appetite, and a good-old-American willingness to forget that the rest of the storm is still headed our way.
HuffPost's QuickRead
American Patriotism Crushed By Republican SUVs
Devising new and hilariously clever agitprop words like "Defeatocrats" is clearly more patriotic than actually addressing the principle source of global and domestic instability.
Post-Election Gas Price Forecast
The current low price of gas, and its imminent skyrocketing, is an entirely predictable phenomenon.
The Highest Oil Price Spike in History
What did it mean when oil prices Monday spiked by their largest amount in history, $16 in one day? It means something is seriously wrong with the oil price market.
Suddenly Obama's Auto-Policies Matter: Michigan Is The New Florida
Any sort of cash incentive to get manufacturers to build more efficient vehicles -- and to get people to buy more of them -- is an admirable thing. But let's not forget that if people just make smarter choices, this nation's energy usage will go down dramatically.
Obama Delivers a Real Energy Plan for America: Efficiency Now, 10% Renewables by 2012, One Million Plug-ins by 2015
This is easily the best energy plan ever put forward by a nominee of either party. By comparison, the plan of John "Nothing but Nukes" McCain plan is a joke.

Why Does John McCain Hate the American Worker?

John McCain Doesn't Know the Price of Gas/Can't Remember the Last Time He Bought Any
John McCain may not know what gas costs or when he last pumped any, or performed any other act not connected to politics or outpatient care, but he's had hundreds of town hall meetings.
One Reason Offshore Drilling Won't Lower Gas Prices: OPEC
OPEC is acting to immediately stabilize prices in the neighborhood of $70-$90 per barrel. Just eight years ago OPEC tried to keep prices in the $22-$28 range.
Oil Execs to Congress: I Drink Your Milkshake
Supply and demand is one factor in determining price, but another factor used to be called "competition." Again, I'm not an economist, but I'm pretty sure that was supposed to drive prices down.
Those Damnable High Oil Prices: Blame it on the Energy Hogs Up in Maine!
A recent Times propaganda piece could have been written by the PR departments of the best and brightest of the oil companies, the American Petroleum Institute, or OPEC flaks.
The U.S. Recession, the Dollar and Why Bush Wants to Bomb
