When the WSJ.com's Markets Editor posts something on oil or gasoline prices, it usually gets a rise out of us bleacher bums. He had one yesterday "Another $100 Oil Call" that is still getting comments. One commenter in particular, skh.pcola stirred the pot this morning.
Some exerpts from his comment:

...You loons can carry on....

It is my fond hope that the board of the E.I.E.I.O. notes that in this post I have struggled to use polysyllabic words, the chemical symbol for silver and a quote from the Iron Lady.
Onward and downward.
But I got a blog post out of it.
