It's a gas, gas, gas

And, here's where this blog takes a political turn for the evening.

Remember, way back when, right after "our fearless leader" was "elected" for the first time, he decided to squander some of the money from the previously balanced budget and send all of us "checks" for around $300 or so.

Of course, this was a loan on your taxes for the next year.

So, those geniuses in DC have decided that the $100 "Gas Rebate Gift" ain't gonna fly since we won't be fooled again.

But, you gotta love the statement from the White House earlier today: "We're afraid that everyone would spend that money on gas."

I mean, really...you can't make this stuff up!
