Diesel Fuel Blame Game

Our truckers are getting a little French on us. They are protesting the high cost of diesel fuel. Great. Fine. Protest. But don't blame the oil companies. First, blame congress. Then blame envornmentalists. Then blame the Fed. Then blame China and India. Then blame Nigerians who rupture pipelines to steal oil and Nigerian "rebels" who shut down drilling sites. Blame incompetent dictators who rob infrastructure maintenance spending to prop up their dying economies.

Oh, wait, yes, you can blame oil companies...specifically oil companies who spend money on annoying and preachy commercials to tell us that they aren't really an oil company, rather than maintain their refineries properly.
