Hell yeah Hillary. Take the taxes off the consumers and put the burden on oil companies. That should do the trick to end our oil problems (sarcasm). That's a damn cheap trick. Do you think the American people will vote for you because you made it easier for them to travel in the vacation season? Maybe. But screw that. We need some long-term solutions to the energy crisis that is wreaking havoc globally. The oil will run out. No doubt about it. So we need to start thinking long-term, otherwise in 50 years things are going to be very very bad. Oil fuels everything. We ship goods nationally and internationally. We need oil to create just about everything we consume. So as our stores start to deplete, our luxuries will too. America has lasted too long on an attitude that our economy can bounce back from anything. My attitude--oil shortages will throw the world into the most difficult struggles we have experienced in over a century. It could be worst than the Great Depression, when oil dependency was not an issue. We need to gear ourselves for hard times, and a last ditch "vacation tax" isn't helping.

mike, suggestion for your next editorial cartoon ... mock the dumb readers in college park who would rather read about rock of love's daisy and whether her boobs are real than actual news. I think it would be a good social commentary.
