You da Man, Viscount......the chart does indeed reflect the inexorable rise in the price of oil. All the "expert opinions" to the contrary, the world is not awash in a sea of oil; there is not a $25 per barrel 'terrorist premium'; a vast conspiricy of hedge funds have not manipulated the price of oil from $20 to $55 a barrel; supply and demand is a major factor; alternative energy sources are not 'just a matter of electing a liberal'; China and India are going to demand 'their share' of the oil no matter what the rest of the world has to say.
