90% of Alaska's budget is based on the price of a barrel of oil.  Gov. Palin suggested a budget based on oil being $70/barrel.  The Energy Department was predicting that oil would be around $50/barrel.  State legislators, eager to criticize the governor, complained that the budget would cause a huge deficit. 

Imagine their surprise when her actual budget was based on the Energy Department predictions.

Read the whole thing.  It's comedy gold.
