Just say NO... to driving.

[Flubadubya]

Bwahaha... this is the latest, greatest pearl of wisdom tossed from Dear Leader's lips to the ignorant masses. Just heard Elizabeth Vargas on ABC evening news say this:

"The President had something very dramatic to say today" (I am not making this up). In the wake of the disasters on the Gulf coast we must not drive so much!

OH MY GOD!!! Is this woman serious? She then went to Terry Moran (emphasis on MORAN) who gave the big scoop about what Dear Leader had to say about cutting back on driving so much. Sheez! We're just a nation of big Dumb-Dumbs, right? We so need to learn from the Master.

My roomie has to drive 30 miles to work and 30 miles back every day. No choice. He already figured out weeks ago that he should drive without air conditioning (and we have had 100+ degree temps here most of the summer), and to drive more slowly. Saves gas, of course... but I guess we needed to hear it from the Great White Wise One before it really made any sense. Don't these people just want to make you :puke:?

1. "Let them fly private Learjets"

Didn't George "Marie Antoinette" B*sh mutter that under his breath right after saying we shouldn't drive?

2. I personally don't drive

but I ride to work with my husband. It is about 30 miles each way. When I started working for the school system I lived about 5 miles away. Then I got transferred to another school. (I live in a large district) I could have sold my house and moved, but chances were good that I'd get transferred again eventually as the population shifts in the district.

Right now my school is in the Florida State University zone and there are NO housing options for me that don't come with college students and apartments (too old for THAT) or enormously overpriced houses.

So I'm good and stuck.

Maybe I'll just quit and go on Medicaid. WOULD YOU LIKE THAT GEORGE?

3. If Bush snaps his fingers and makes urban sprawl vanish

I'll drive less. :eyes:

4. Maybe us Rich Democrats should hire poor people.....

.. to push our cars to work!

"Please Sir..I'm tired"
"Oh..come on..Lulu-may...only 3 more miles to go"

5. Wasn't it BushCo who told us to "go shopping" after 9/11?

Now, not only can we not do as much shopping because we have less disposable income because of higher gas prices, but now we weren't not supposed to drive as much, which means we will shop even less!!! What do they want??? I couldn't care less, myself.

6. Yeah, Right! I have to drive 35 miles to work each way

:eyes:

7. I ride a scooter to work 15 miles each way

I've not had a car for 15 years. I just got my scooter this June.

[never cry wolf]

8. I'm not sure of the correctness of this statement

but my son told me that driving with the windows up and the AC on is more fuel efficient than with the AC off and the windows open due to wind drag. :shrug:

10. I believe that is true

a guy on the news did a story about it and that's what he said too.

9. I'm not cutting back

I didn't vote for the IDIOT let his followers cut back on theirs. I'm not saving gas so they have more for themselves. :mad:

11. Then perhaps the Dear Leader could whisper in the ear of his

stooge, Governor Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota) and tell him to fund more mass transit. There's no bus service to where I live to where I work (in the very suburb Tim lives in) and the Repukes here are heavily into more roads, less buses.
