Default Politics & My Car

Funny the government is raising the CAFE #s & at the same time pushing ETOH (which destroys MPG #s.).
You think the EPA uses anything but 100% real gas when they test autos & come up with the numbers that go on the stickers???

Go to the Edmunds Forums & check out the Enclave drivers bitching about 7-9 mpg.

Obama tells the Germans that the cars in Boston are causing the droughts in Kansas.....I live in Kansas...this has been one of the wettest years I can ever remember.....my lawn is still green & it's almost August....my yard should be totally brown by now??? We haven't had hardly any >100F days in the last 20 years....when I was a kid back in the 50s & 60s they were common!!! In 1954 it got up to 109F in KC. This has been the most perfect growing season I can ever remember.....I've got vegetables coming out my ***!!! I've already given away about 200lbs of stuff from a small 2500 sq ft garden.....

I'm thinking about inventing a new spark plug....generates a Higgs Field.....converts matter to energy...almost 100% efficient.....anyone want to invest? Checks & cash accepted.

I'm in. You get all the money I'm saving with my Browns Gas Injector system. It pays to re-invest, Right?

I heard on the Weather Channel today that this may shape up to be the "coolest" summer in decades and possibly on record. Thank God Al Gore saved us from that awful global warming thing.

That and the Internet too! What a guy.

He should wear a cape or something.

I heard Al Gore also invented oxygen too.

Thankfully we can all take a deep breath for that invention.

For the record, Al Gore never said he invented the internet. But keep saying it if it makes you happy.

You are, of course , quite right on this. And those on the right, along with his other detractors, do have fun with it.

Much like former President HW Bush who scolded the Congress and said "Read my lips, No new taxes" Only later was he forced to compromise and sign bills that did in fact raise taxes. He should have held ground, but didn't, and paid a political price for it.

We, of course, paid the taxes.

BTW, you're coming up with some pretty good stuff here of late. Good to hear from you again.
