Gustav and the Price of Oil
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Oil prices tumbled nearly $7 on Tuesday from last week's close ahead of the U.S. Labor Day weekend as investors shifted their focus to slowing global demand after fears subsided about Hurricane Gustav's impact on Gulf Coast oil rigs and refineries.

We have been stuck at 3.59 locally for a couple of weeks (although the 7-11 near me jumped to 3.69 Saturday so I thought something was up. But it was apparently just Labour Day Weekend shenanigans and nobody else followed suit).
It's like they tossed us a bone by getting it into the 3.5 range and decided that was good enough.
