Turns out comedian Chris Rock has his own take on high gas prices, one that makes sense if you believe the basics of supply and demand.

Last week, Rock played a surprise show in New York City -- Envirowonk was there firsthand -- where he tested out some new material and riffed on the current state of affairs.

Rock said he couldn't understand how after invading an oil-rich country like Iraq -- or at least the oil-rich parts of the country, as he put it -- the price of oil had risen. Rock rationalized that if he took over an IHOP, there was no way the price of pancakes was going up. "Rooty, tooty, fresh and fruity!" he quipped.

Rock also dedicated a significant portion of his set to bust on John McCain (too old, so he had his nurse be his running mate), Sarah Palin ("Do we really want Stiffler's mom running the country?), Hillary (she'd need to do a lot more than rearrange the furniture to feel comfortable in the office where her husband, well, you know) and Michelle Obama (possibly a hyper-involved first lady).

Not exactly breaking news, but, hey, it's Friday.
