EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT

This unimportant trivia pricked my ears.
Today is August 8, 2008
OR
08-08-08
AND
There are 88 days until the election for a new U.S. president.
What can this mean?
I am worried.
It has to mean something.
Or maybe not.

Well, it DOES mean something.
I found this information:

Eight is considered a lucky number in China and elsewhere and is so auspicious that the Summer Olympics began at precisely 8:08 p.m.



IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
