I had a letter published in The Austin Chronicle called "Follow Hugo Chavez's Example" in the beginning of July. http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ReaderComments/
?ContainerID=642711 Well someone read it, misunderstood and responded with Chavez, Obama, Guantanamo, Nostradamus http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ReaderComments/
?ContainerID=644258 When I read that I responded with "Government Should Drill For Oil" blog on July 12th. http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ReaderComments/
?ContainerID=644883 Three days after I wrote it BLEEP hit the fan! Everything I wrote started to happen. President Bush announsed lifting the executive drilling ban first thing Monday July 14th. Thus starting the ball rolling. Oil prices started to drop due to new drilling prospects, and the stock market started going up. I am pleased I was right. Then House Speaker Pelosi backed my stance. And Sen. Barbra Boxer made the same general comment I made about Bush the oil mogul. Coinciding with another letter published in the Chronicle "Are You Kidding Me?" http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ReaderComments/
?ContainerID=640761, the New Yorker published a cover of Obama in a turban. Then Thursday 6 days later, Gore announced his energy plan, of course it was against big oil. I wrote another called What Does Hillary Clinton Intend?

?ContainerID=634556 Nearly everything I stated in it was mirrored by this video report on July 16th

?cl=8831804 To top that off 11 days later, I found out that another idea I had published became a law. Back in February I had a letter printed titled "Whats Wrong With The System?". http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/ReaderComments/
?ContainerID=587060 In it I stated
"Dude! How is it possible that one person in the market can drive the price of oil to $100 per barrel? Sounds like a oil company executive move to me. Isn't their some sort of safety protocol in place to prevent this sort of catastrophe from happening? Maybe put a maximum of stock being unloaded or purchased on the market by an individual or Corporation in a single day. It seems to me that the futures market was in place so these things wouldn't happen."
In Washington, the Senate voted 94-0 to move ahead with a plan that would require the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to set limits on trading in oil markets by certain large investors.

Also in "The System" letter I wrote we should repeal the Gasoline tax. 3 months later Sen. John McCain came out and said he was in favor of the idea.

Can I see the future, or should I run for office?
