Too Much Green in Being Green
I would love to drive a Mini, or a Prius or a Smart Car, but I have a big family. Unless Ringling Bros. teaches me how to pile them all in and out of a four passenger car, it is not an option.
Less Holiday Travel Makes for a Greener Thanksgiving
With so much at stake in the economy and many would be travelers sitting out Thanksgiving travel, it all adds up to less impact on our environment.

Against a Gas Tax
The changes we need in transportation are not something car companies or consumers can do on their own. What's needed is beyond new habits and new vehicles -- it's new infrastructure.
EVs vs. Gas-Powered Cars: No Ride to Utopia
Hey Mr. Green, Is an electric car really more efficient than a hybrid getting 50-plus miles per gallon running on gas? How efficient (and green) can i...
American Patriotism Crushed By Republican SUVs
Devising new and hilariously clever agitprop words like "Defeatocrats" is clearly more patriotic than actually addressing the principle source of global and domestic instability.

The current low price of gas, and its imminent skyrocketing, is an entirely predictable phenomenon.
Big Bottom
The American dream is NOT that everyone is entitled to credit based on no ability to pay it back. It is based on the idea that anyone can try, to be free from persecution, and can, if they work hard, build a life.

How Not to Lower Gas Prices
80% of the oil and gas resources off our coasts are already available for leasing and drilling. Listening to Bush, McCain and others, you'd think we've been locking up all our resources -- the opposite is true.

This sounds pretty reasonable...considering that we are no longer suffering from higher fuel prices. But then again, I was never a fan of the windfall profit tax anyways. Imagine all the investors that would lose money if that happened. It just doesn't seem fair to take some company's money after the fact because you arbitrarily decided that they made too much. Unless they find some proof that the oil companies acted inappropriately, I say let them keep their money.
And along the same lines of the other comment here...hey Obama, if I get start selling some great product this next year that makes me a millionaire, are you going to come take it all away from me? No, of course not.
Weak.
Change, as in "The middle class will get change, while the upper class gets big bailouts."
POTUS-Elect Obama, if I go to Vegas and loose all my money gambling, will you bail me out as well?
