RINO Sightings Recommended: Politburo Diktat, Mind of Mog, Techography,



Carnival of Personal Finance Recommended: All Financial Matters (Monte Carlo hypotheticals are better than planning based upon average returns!)



Carnival of The Capitalists is in an unusual place this week.



**********




Gas prices continue to be a big topic of conversation. The real supply bottleneck is in refineries. The other cause is price speculation due to Iranian saber rattling.



When demand exceeds supply, prices go up. So simple my six year old can usually remember it. I'm not happy to be paying $3 per gallon for gas, but I'm doing what I can. I drive a small sedan that gets good mileage. I'm in favor of building new refineries and increasing production, and I'm willing to be pretty flexible where this stuff is built. I'm in favor of national fuel standards, so the companies involved can refine 3 or 5 kinds of gasoline, instead of about 45. I'm in favor of increasing nuclear power as well as wind generation and geothermal, so that things which can easily be driven by alternate power generation will be.



If you are in favor of all of the above, it's okay to be angry at the boneheadedness of your fellow citizens causing gas prices to rise. Otherwise, if you want to know what's causing the price of gas to rise, go look in a mirror.

Q and O has a good article on the Federal Government aiding and abetting identity thieves, aka illegal aliens and the employers who employ them.



**********




Strata-Sphere has all kinds of interesting revelations on Mary McCarthy, the CIA employee who was fired for leaking.



Big Lizards thinks the CIA prisons story was one large canary trap.



**********




Captain's Quarters covers some fundraising shenanigans.

I think I need an enforced layoff for a few days. Don't be surprised if it goes to the rest of the week.
