Item:  Oil took a nosedive today, dropping a big, honking…
…wait for it…
…six dollars & fifty-nine cents.
Okay, all well & good.  Anytime oil drops in price, it’s a good thing.
What they’re not  telling you, though, is that on Wednesday, it rose  five ‘n change.
MERLIN:  Uh, m’liege…?
LSIK&T:  Yes, Wizard…?
MERLIN:  Read a little bit further, sir.
Friday’s losses came after a big climb in prices earlier in the week that had been supported by rising tension between the United States and Russia, the world’s second biggest oil producer.
Oh.  Well, okay, so they did  tell us.
Here’s the point, though:  We’re pretty much back where we started at the beginning of the week.  Why is this news?  And why did it rate a red-letter mention on Drudge (which is where I got this)?
C’mon, Matt.  It’s not that  slow of a news day.
