As long as I mentioned oil earlier, QT points out another fact:

Hole in McCain's oil plan

News Item: "The oil industry generally approved Tuesday as Republican presidential candidate John McCain charted his policies on energy with a speech in Houston. . . ."

Well. As long as the oil companies are happy. . . .

The oil companies, by the way, are currently leasing 68 million acres of land in this country that they are not drilling on

That is how eager they are to increase supply.

What do you think the reason might be?

The mystery continues...
