The world is finally f-cking Opec like it'sbeen f-cking the world.Even us Merkins have started switching from our 4x4 SUVs that get 12-18mpg (but never leave the road because they might get muddy), to 4 cylinder Toyotas and Hondas.
Gas prices are dropping, but we're not trading back.
So to Russia, Iran, Saudia Arabia, Venezuela, and the rest of you corrupt petrocracies, have fun running your pathetic failed states on half the budget you'd counted on.
Try democracy, entrepreneurship, and educating your citizens. That difference is why Europe and America will get through this financial crisis by tightening the purse-strings a little bit and getting on with it, while you sorry jackasses face social upheaval and chaos.
Dumbasses.
