Gas Prices, Chuck Schumer, and U.S. Oil Reserves

I realize this has nothing to do with Paleoevangelicalism, but this quote from an editorial in Saturday's Journal reminds me how much Chuck Schumer ticks me off:

The dirty little secret about oil politics is that today's high gas price is precisely the policy result that Mr. Schumer and other liberals have long desired. High prices have been the prod that the left has favored to persuade Americans to abandon their SUVs and minivans, use mass transit, turn the thermostat down, produce less consumer goods and services, and stop emitting those satanic greenhouse gases.
