I should also say I like Boris Kagarlitsky and a lot of his work. But he's sometimes very excitable - quick to believe in crisis and disbelieve in a boom.

A simple linear regression of the nominal gas price against W's Gallup approval rating has an r2 of .69; of the log of the gas price, .75. Based on this, should gas hit $3.00, W's approval rating could hit 30% or below (latest is 37%). Doug
