Gas prices went up 20 cents. There must have been a story about low gas prices in the paper.

The CNN presidential debate was a total disaster. It turned into a Rubio versus Cruz debate.

I’m sick of debates where they can rudely interrupt and disrespect the moderator. Let the moderator control the microphones so the only one who can speak is the one called on. To do otherwise continues the chaotic disrespect in politics today.
