Reply #5: My apartment's heating bill was $180 this month. [View All]

OK, sure, it's an old duplex; it's a large space with high ceilings and inefficient windows. Chances are, whoever was occupying that space would be paying that much or more for heating.

Still...
If Bush hadn't been inaugurated in January 2001, we never would have gotten as involved in politics as we did.

If we hadn't gotten as involved in politics as we did, my soon-to-be-former spouse would not have run for political office.

Absent that, we may have gotten divorced a couple of years ago.

If we'd gotten divorced a couple of years ago, I could very well be remarried, have a baby on the way and be living in a nice, well-insulated house with a high-efficiency furnace and Energy Star windows.

But because we did the divorce thing this year, I moved into this apartment (which likely would not have been available two years ago). Because I live in this apartment, I am the one who must pay the $180.

Therefore, it is Bush's fault I have to pay the $180.

QED.
