Are gas prices really that insane? 'Cuz they've dropped more than 50% here in ye olde American midwest.

I get the outrage and the schadenfreude, but geez I feel sorry for this girl.  Being crazy is tough, and being crazy in a cry-for-attention way is sadly quite common, but having that blow up into sudden intense national scrutiny must hit like a ton of bricks.

I haven't read anything by Card since his 2003 opinion column saying (paraphrasing here): “I am a Democrat so it saddens me that the Democratic party is run by insane, destructive extremists who want us to lose the war on terror.” Along the same lines, I am a Republican so it saddens me that the GOP is run by heroin-addicted satanic child molesters. Hey! I'm criticizing out of love, here.

225 pounds of me say: this does not work.
