Correlation
In my earlier ranting about gas prices, the pathetic condition of the dollar, and the ever recurrent theme of my HATRED of losers, one might have have absorbed the idea that I feel a stronger dollar will result in lower gas prices. That indeed, it's not OPEC fucking us unnecessarily for once.
Oh damn, I was right.
Upon seeing this, I scurry to GasBuddy to take a look at the trends.
Yep, I was right.

As for the dismal jobs report, Drudge tells me that that particular doom cry is another pile of horse shit.
Really, it makes me wonder if all this "THE WORLD IS ENDING FOOD SHORTAGE GAS 10 DOLLARS" isn't just rhetoric to scare us. Americans as a whole watch the news (CNN, I'm loosely grouping you in with this) far too much and freak out far too easily with what tripe is displayed. You ever notice that when things are getting good, they pull that tired old Abu Ghraib shit out? It's their version of reruns. OH BUT LOOK HATE YOURSELF FOR BEING AMERICAN THEY HAD TO WEAR PANTIES. /yawn
This accurately reflects how I feel about all the "oh god the economy is imploding" horse shit that we are being subjected to:

We aren't the fragile spun glass pansies they want us to believe we are. Keep the faith in the dollar, it's going to rebound. KEEP MAKING YOUR PAYMENTS. Man up, now is not the time to pull bitch moves and bail financially. I want to see gas under 3 bucks by time the monsoons come!
Oh damn, I was right.
Wall Street shot higher Thursday as investors, while anticipating another dismal jobs report Friday, viewed the rising dollar and falling oil prices as promising signs for the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average soared nearly 190 points to close above 13,000 for the first time since Jan. 3. (emphasis mine)
