Indeed.  In fact, it was seeing your new userpic and signature that got me to look for the video.
After I watched, then faved it, I posted it here.

I figured as much. Still win though.

"    "By any fair measure, equal access to marriage for all Americans is a right — guaranteed by the Constitution. Senator Santorum's claim that legally recognizing gay marriage would be no different than legalizing polygamy, child molestation or bestiality is repugnant and insulting to millions of gay Americans."

    "The New York Times reports that while President Obama gives lip service to gay equality, the President will not support gay marriage before the election because of the opposition of African Americans, as reflected in his polling, and the need to assure maximum support from African American voters in November. Instead the President sends out surrogates to imply that he will support gay marriage in a second term."

    "I, for one, am tired of seeing candidates for president – including the President himself, play political games with people's lives and happiness. Perhaps it's time for a president who leads based upon principle instead of polls."


Gary Johnson

That the government (or the church for that matter) are omnipresent in a purely social matter says it all, really.

I had to reply to that with: "I see what you did there."

Yet more proof: oil prices have more to do with money supply (inflation) than anything else:

I'd be reluctant to use this particular graph: one would need an adjusted R2: it'd produce a lower number as a result, but a better descriptor. (it'll still be pretty good though, judging from the graph).

having said that: it isn't going to disprove the assessment (it's clearly a good correlation, and I agree): however, I propose instead a non linear relationship between inflation and gas prices, where with an increase in money supply, there will be an increase in prices. I would also recommend adding some other variables, but I digress.

I'd also use a dual-scale graph to correlate the rises, with time as the x-axis, to see it all in context.
