Spiro T. Agnew A lot of the folks on this forum probably don't know Spiro. He was our Vice President under Nixon. He suffered a lot of shame for being such a crooked person but he had a way with words.

With oil climbing way up and then falling only partly back, I see a near-term increase in prices of at least $0.10. Time will tell.
