"America means having a right to cheap gas without having to say please," said Augusta, GA resident George Rizner, idling in his Hummer H2 in a protest near the Georgia State Capitol. "What are we supposed to do, walk?"
reminds me of a lady I saw while on a ride last week... I'm on my road bike heading down a dead end street where a bike path connects to another street though a stand of woods... the path wasn't cleared of snow so I dismount and carry my bike while slogging through the mid-shin deep snow... up ahead on the street I'm heading toward I notice a garage door go up... out backs a SUV and it rolls down the drive and into the street where it stops in front of the mailbox... I watch as the window goes down and the lady retreives her mail, puts the window up, and then proceeds back up the drive into the garage.... here driveway was maybe 60- 70 feet long or about 10% the length of the path I was slogging through when I witnessed this |
you've got to be kidding. ok you're not...
there's a netflix or blockbuster commercial which spoofs that exact same thing. "honey i'm going to the video store" and does exactly what you described above... |

steve The Onion's article may be prothetic about the public reaction when gas starts costing more than the car that burns it. :p |

Imagine how different those movies would have turned out If Alec Guiness had instead handed Luke an English 3-speed and said: "Your father's Raleigh; a more elegant vehicle, from a more civilised time" |
I love the fact that satirical ( onion, daily show) has more accurate news than "real news" ( propaganda networks like FOX and NBC
