Speculators, just like the oil bubble. On that train of thought, any follow up to see those who bid up the price of oil are actually being made to pay the tab or is that also now part of the 'victim' bailout gig? You'd think the government would want to make a big deal of it to show they're on the job regulating - unless it happens to be people who wanted to influence the election along with the usual untraceable campaign donations.

#5 I couldn't decide whether to put this under Lurid Crime Tales, or maybe Sleazy Politicians.

Hope it doesn't turn out to be Short Attention Span Theater.... :-(
