I hate to insert more politics into this, but why the hell can’t we get someone in office who’s going to do something about the “market speculation” that’s driving oil prices through the roof? Why?

Here’s the thing (if I’m boring you, just skip to the next bullet), there is no supply and demand problem. So drilling and getting more supply isn’t going to help. The government needs to put a moratorium on commodities trading in the U.S. Get the prices back to where they were in the '90s. 

And I agree. Less gas usage is a good thing. But it’s going to cost me nearly $3,000 to heat my house next winter. 

Just think about that for a little while.... 

 

The Dallas Cowboys must have the richest fans in the NFL.

The Cowboys are charging their fans anywhere from $1,000 to $150,000 just for the right to purchase a single season-ticket. Not for the ticket, mind you. For the right to buy the ticket.

Jerry Jones is an a*****e.

 

Hank Steinbrenner is one of my all-time favorite sports owners.

The Yankees are a weekend sweep by the Red Sox away from a classic Steinbrenner meltdown. The younger Steinbrenner is ready to throw a tantrum, the likes of which would make his father proud.

Speaking as a Red Sox fan, I can’t wait.
