Gas Prices Soar

I just paid $3.19/gal. for gasoline here in Columbus, Ohio. Thank goodness for my Honda Civic Hybrid because I can get at least 42mpg driving in the city.

I think we should all thank our Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) for her overwhelming support of the Energy and Oil Companies. She has received, according to Open Secrets:
..........Sector..........................................Total..........PACs........Individuals..
Energy/Nat Resource $317,270 $255,570 $61,700

When you go and fill up your tank, just keep in mind that Deborah Pryce and her good buddies at the Energy and Natural Resource PACs helped bring up those prices with her votes for bills that protect oil/natural resources.
