but pigs might fly?

that's the headline over this letter to the editor in the des moines register today:

President Bush announced his administration is going to get tough on the oil industry over high gas prices. If you believe that, you’ve been smoking something strange. Bush and Dick Cheney are the oil industry. They get campaign contributions by the tanker truck.

Here are a few things that are more likely to happen before Big Oil is curbed. Pat Robertson will come out in praise of Playboy magazine; Tom DeLay will run for president on the Democratic ticket; Iowa basketball coach Steve Alford will shave his head for next season.

In other words, don’t hold your breath.
