In addition to geopolitical tension, the hurricane season and its potential to disrupt refineries on the Gulf of Mexico lie ahead. And as we grudgingly get used to $3-per-gal. gasoline--it's been nearly two years since crude oil broke $50 a barrel--companies feel more comfortable...
...anyone picture George W. Bush hauling in an oil company's CEO and handling him the way Roosevelt handled J.P. Morgan? In the next presidential election I will be looking for a pugnacious pugilist who knows his ornithology.
