Gas prices become campaign focus

Yeah, you're right. Polinaut never sleeps.

In the early morning papers, The New York Times does a piece on how the rising gasoline prices are becoming the centerpiece of several Democratic campaigns. Guess which one locally?

Now, I know you didn't ask but here's Polinaut's handy, dandy method for controlling high gas prices in the family jallopy.

1. Put $20 in gas in at the start of the week.

2. Plan on not putting another $20 in until next week.

3. Stop driving if you run out of gas.

Trust me. This works.
