$100 Oil

Now hold off on the celebration there all you lunatic fringe, peak-oil
wackos. Just because oil tipped $100 a barrel does not mean the world has come to an end. Last I heard the planets were still circling the sun. (No, Mr. Whoever you are in the 3d row wearing the tinfoil hat, Pluto's demotion to planetoid had nothing to do with peak oil.)
This is not the end of civilization. Okay, prices have jumped up a bit, but there is still plenty of good farmland we can convert over to corn for ethanol production. What is it with you people? We are Americans goddammit and the American way of life is not negotiable!
