Gas Prices Go Up, GOP Approval Goes Down

In Los Angeles, my hometown, nobody has anything to talk about. Every other city's residents have a standby conversation starter: the weather. But LA doesn't have weather.

So we talk about gas prices. did they go up? Did they go down? Have you seen the numbers in Bverly Hills? They are such suckers.

But after 5 years of Republican control and no resposible energy policy, all of America is talking like an Angeleno.

The Washington Post has a story today on the GOP response to soaring costs.

And there is an interactive map so you can see average prices in every U.S. county. Pretty neat.
