CHEVRON POSTS PROFIT OF $5.2 BILLION

All politicians that support the "gas tax holiday" foolishness should wear a T-shirt with the above headline printed on it.

While Bush and his oil buddies are getting obscenely rich, the vast majority are paying and suffering, while the pols try to fool them into thinking the gas tax scheme will alleviate their suffering.

Snake oil politics. Don't buy it.
