Happy Earth Day to everyone.

I get to celebrate by driving to Charlotte and back in an International truck powered by a not-quite-so-efficient twin-turbo diesel. It averages about 6.4mpg.

Hope you didn't get any hail damage. :)


Earth Day press coverage. It’s been other worldly - Orange Punch : The Orange County Register

“So sacrosanct the liberal media believes its mission to be, that they haven’t even bothered to hide their bias.”

How so?

CNN’s environmental editor Barbara Pyle, as quoted in the July 1990 issue of American Spectator, actually bragged: “I do have an axe to grind…I want to be the little subversive person in television.”

Time magazine’s science editor Charles Alexander, at a September 16, 1989 global warming conference, confessed: “I would freely admit on this issue we have crossed the boundary from news reporting to advocacy.”

Dickens says “advocacy has been on full display as reporters and anchors have gone overboard in scaring their audience about the perils of our effect on the Earth, from overpopulation to global warming.

Ah, the impartial, “objective” press. And if you buy that, we’ve got some carbon credits to sell you.

I was voted funniest man on Earth for 800 years straight and then along came George.

A friend of mine was in Carlin's office one day talking to him and at the time George and Flip Wilson had formed a partnership.

Flip liked to play the ponies and he and George had a 'slush fund' that was kept in the big drawer of George's desk and Flip was headed for the track and came in the office, opened the drawer and took out $2,500 for the purpose of a bit of wagering.

George asked; "what if you lose?"

Flip said; "well, it was a bad day at the track."

George asked; "what if you win?"

Flip said; "I'm going to keep it, I won."

I would give you George's punch line but modern day political correctness doesn't permit such language on this message board.

The recidivism for hyprid owners is less than 30%, evidently they are smarter than convicted felons who have a higher repeat rates for making stupid mistakes.

The thing about hybrids is that the car is worn out before you recoup, through fuel savings, your original extra investment, which is augmented by government tax subsidies, which all taxpayers chip in to and so you lose in the capitalistic sense of making a profit, in other words you lose, therefore you have difined yourself on this board as a damned loser, we don't need any more of those for sure, as a matter of fact two of the monitors are losers as we have ascertained already.

And dammit what really POs me off is that I have to help pay for your stupid mistake.

Now if you want to look at it the other way, then why even have an automobile at all?

I haven't owned one in forty years.

One of my favorite writers is Richard Braughtigan (Trout Fishing In America) who never owned an auto in his life.

The establishment hated him so much that they printed his epitaph in 1969, 1979 and 1989, but heck he was just fishing anyway, who is to say he ever lived at all?

I'm a right-winged conservative Republican, but I drive a Prius and absolutely love it. I get 50 mpg and fill up about once every other week. Haters keep on hating while I drive by the gas stations. Has nothing to do with my concern for the environment, it only has to do with saving $$

Tell me about it. I consider myself Left of Center on most issues but I will never allow myself to become a Zombie to any Ideology. I also don't close myself off to opposing views.

I turned off the Cable News Talking Heads years ago.

Low emissions? Driving in carpool lane?

The new Prius C is smaller and supposed to get 70mpg. It's tempting to trade my 06 in for it. But mine is paid off and it's nice not having a car payment.
