WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by The Franko Blog!
We will talk about everything from the news of the day, to random thoughts.  This is not a one-way conversation…I invite you to give me your thoughts on things I blog about, and things I don’t.  No topic is off limits!

BTW…disagreement is part of the game. But, please keep it clean. This is an all ages show!

Gas prices are falling…where’s the hype?

We are dropping the ball.

I admit that.

When gas prices were steadily climbing…peaking at more than $4/gallon nationally, we were sounding the alarm. Warning people that $7 isn’t far off!

Now gas prices have dropped, down 21-cents in a month…23 cents in the Lowcountry to $3.67/gallon. The much maligned dollar made strides against the Euro lately and it went virtually unnoticed by the general public.

You can blame left-wing media bias if you want…but I think it’s far less sinister. I think it’s as simple as rising prices, and people struggling are sexier stories to the mainstream national media.

Granted…$3.67 is still tough to cope with. But it appears the worst (barring a tropical system or more turmoil in the middle east) is behind us. 

I will push for more on this story today during our editorial meetings.
