"Don't buy gas if you don't need it."

[trof]

That's what he said.
That's his solution.
If you don't need any gas, just don't buy any.

I was about to go out and shop around for some gas.
I get a real kick out of shopping for gas.
Nothing like a brand new tank of gas to really perk you up.
But I don't really NEED any, so I guess I'll just stay home.

Did he really say that?
Yes, sadly, he did.
Un-effing-believable.

1. And if you're not hungry, don't eat.

:eyes:

[CottonBear]

2. Bu$h said that? n/t

[Rainscents]

5. Yes he did! Can you believe this shit???

[Imagevision]

28. My Mayor just on the tube; " Don't use your cars if you don't need to"

He parroted Bush about conserving because there seems to be some local stations that haven't received their inventories in yet today so they're closed.

3. Yeah, I heard that too. To him that's probably the best idea he

can come up with, and when gas hits $6 a gallon, he'll say "I told you not to buy gas if you didn't need it". What a fucking ignorant, arrogant, unintelligent POS.

[BlueJac]

4. A Bush moment

He stammered through the news conference, what an idiot. Don't buy gas if you don't need it, brilliant! I wish I would of thought of that! Shit that is why he must be president!

[nookiemonster]

6. Yeah, fuckwad, I always buy gas when I "DON'T" need it.

Fuck you Bush. Fuck you to hell.

:mad:

[Island Blue]

7. That's easy for him to say

his commute to work is what, 5 seconds by foot? What a fucking moran.

[Panda1]

8. Hahaha...my jaw dropped too

Funny post, thanks.
Yes, shopping for gas is such an extravagance.

[RadiDem]

9. Damn ! I'll have to switch back from Gas Baths to Milk Baths !

bummer

[trof]

10. We all must sacrifice.

[Sparkly]

23. LOL

Thanks for making me laugh -- I needed that! :hi:

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. How much gas did that FUCKING CHICKENSHIT waste flying around the country.

...trying to hide from Cindy Sheehan?

Pay back the money, Chimpbitch. Better yet, send it directly to New Orleans.

[Contrary1]

12. Damn, I wish he had said that earlier...

I just had an underground fuel storage tank installed in
my back yard.

Not that I really need gas, mind you. I just love having it.

[trof]

21. Why do you hate America?

;-)

[youthere]

25. yes, yes..I'm something of a collector myself.

I guess I can forget about that 20 gallons of super ethanol for my mantlepiece now.

[petronius]

13. Actually, I think that's good advice

It's not the ultimate solution, but it's not as stupid as it sounds.

Katrina has put a major dent in the supply side of the equation. However, when people start buying gas above their normal consumption levels (e.g. taking a bunch of gas cans down to the filling station) it puts an artificial spike on the demand side as well, which exacerbates the problem.

So, anyone who wants to have a positive impact on our fuel problems for the next few months should buy gas in the same or lower amounts as usual - and not rush out to stock up, as some folks have been recommending and doing.

16. I wonder if my boss would accept a note from Bush

Sorry, boss.... couldn't get to work 'cos Bush told me only to buy gas if I needed it.... so I've had to set priorities. Coming to work ranks somewhere behind Sunday afternoon drives and my Nascar tickets.... see ya' later."

Dufus.....

[Ediacara]

18. I agree

If people have the option of mass transit, I think they should use it if they aren't even if it adds time to their commute. There are people who desperately NEED gas. If you choose to drive to work rather than taking a bus or train (if it's available), I think you should take mass transit for the time being so that people that NEED the gas aren't gauged by $6/gallon or run into stations that run out.

[Texas_Kat]

20. Hon, there ain't no mass transit here.

Buses don't even run within walking distance.

[Skittles]

14. I'm trying to think of a scenario where I bought gas I did not need

.....I..........cannot think of one

[trof]

22. tree hugger

;-)

[Ediacara]

15. Luckily I live in a small town

And I can walk. I agree this is an idiotic game plane, but he's right, it needs to be conserved so that people who really need it, who are evacuating, who are being gauged by $6/gallon prices, can get out of NO and get on with their lives.

It's surprisingly cheap here (Bozeman MT) at just $2.849/$2.949/$3.049 (reg/mid/sup), but that is a $0.15 increase in just a day, with probably another $0.15 increase tomorrow.

[elperromagico]

17. I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing gasoline.

:silly:

[hatrack]

19. And stop breathing if you don't need air

Lots of "folks" in New Orleans are following THAT advice, aren't they, President Mandrill?

[OneTwentyoNine]

24. What a GENIUS!! I'll quit my job Friday so I don't need any gas....

Damn,why didn't I think of that? No job,no need to drive to work and back home!!

[blondeatlast]

26. Who said he wasn't a leader? Bold, self-assured, a calming force?

Me, among many.

:puke:

[Hissyspit]

27. I went out in hoarded 700 gallons since I automatically do the opposite

of what this guy says, knowing it must be the right thing to do.

[trof]

29. There is ONE, count 'em ONE gas station open in Foley, Alabama.

There are probably 2 dozen within a couple of miles of what we laughingly call "downtown".

All the rest have garbage bags over the pumps.
The open station has a line half a mile long and cops are directing traffic.
