O'Reilly said on the radio today that oil prices will soon put the world into a depression. I haven't heard his position on the peak oil vs. oil speculators issue, but I do know he vilifies big oil.

I see this current environment as the beginning of the end of the "oil age", just like the bronze age or the iron age all came to an end via new discoveries. The only difference is that the oil age was relatively short and, well, sweet I guess. I always thought the internal combustion engine was the way to go. Guess not.

I agree on the republicrats. 20 years ago you could tell 'em apart, now you can't.
