Speaking of Wasilla, here's what you have to be proud of. An oldie but goodie

Great job, folks!

How's Wasilla doing financially compared to California?

If you want to assume merits for their "performance" I consider that far fetched, but typical.

And as usual, the point made was entirely lost.

Wow, how un-american, un-patriotic of you to say that!

Health care is not a right. Unless you live in a developed country. And quite a few undeveloped ones.

Ah, the NYP, in the proud tradition of "HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR" now there's a trustworthy source of information.

But here's what The Onion said...

I wonder if Tillman's affiliation (or association) with Chomsky makes him a communist, socialist, terrorist, etc. Or just a great thinker

Disclaimer here: he meant to meet and discuss Chomsky upon returning from the war but never did due to his untimely death.

Is all the waste of energy and materials involved with this program really offset by the fuel savings of a few mph per car?

I don't think that was the sole purpose (benefit) of this program. I don't think this is even the main benefit of the program. I think the main benefit would be kickstarting an industry (auto) part of the economy that's been badly beaten during this recession in order to provide a boost, jumpstart, even if only a temporary one. Increased auto sales providing more jobs for auto makers, dealers and so on. I think present sales are a good indication it's doing that. Decreasing mpg's is just a side benefit in my opinion. At least it's a first step to heading towards more fuel efficient cars which I think we all agree is badly needed. Again I don't make this thing out to be the best thing since sliced bread but I think it's way less money (about 100X) spent way better than the money blown on banks, wars, etc. just my 2c.

Yeah, sure Jeff, sure. So the democracies in Europe are being kept quiet or not?

Did you even read what I said? I never said that.

Jeff

Oh so when I mentioned the countries in Europe running this program and you responded that they're being kept quiet, unlike here, you automagically referred to Cuba. Sure, that makes perfect sense.
