With gas prices rising, it looks like there’s increasing pressure to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to alleviate some of the pain. Now, I’m no fan of $4-a-gallon gas, but is this a strategic emergency? No, it’s me being pissed that my commute got $10 more expensive this month. Hardly a national emergency. Isn’t this thing supposed to be used, you know, strategically?
Then again, it is indeed a strategic emergency from a political perspective. No matter what party is in the majority, if voters drive to the polls with cars burning gas that cost four bucks a gallon or more, that majority is going to get slaughtered.

"Guns and Bullets" is the name of a gun rag from the Fallout video game series, described unapologetically as "A magazine devoted to the practical use of firearms, and the occasional biased review." Reading it increases the player's knowledge of firearms. Hopefully this blog will do the same for you!
