   Yes. You know, as a kid when I read Animal Farm, there was so much that I didn’t really understand. It’s much clearer now that it’s being acted out for all to see.

   The good governor should pay a third-world person SUV Credits to offset his use of a gas guzzler.

   “Car-Free Week”

   Why don’t they just be honest and call it,

   “Car-Free, When They Can, Which Means, For People Who Have An Over-Inflated Sense of Importance…Never…But They Still Reserve the Right To Leave Their Commitment To The Cause Open Ended, So That They Can Feel Good In The Hope That Others Might Actually Believe That They Are Doing The Right Thing, Even When They Aren’t Week. ”

   Maybe the printing costs would be a little over budget.

    Personally, I’m making a firm resolution for “Sobriety Week” ( well.., Sobriety DAY ) but you know, baby steps. Like any co-dependent hasn’t figured this out by now?

    By now we’ve all learned only faux ‘sacrifices’ of Prog-elitists count. MM likely works primarily out of the home but being a Conservative, she might as well commute 50 miles ( one-way ) in an Excursion.

    I’ve either home-officed or had a local ( one block walk ) ‘commute’ for years. Yet every time the topic comes up, liberal leaning relatives act is if they are hearing it for the first time.

    Oy vey…

    Sounds a lot like how marriage vows (especially in Hollywood) ought to be written, these days.

    If I genuinely thought a technology was bad/harmful, I would strive to stop using it. That would show others it could be done, and convince a lot more people to try it than these “Let’s sit in the dark for an hour like North Korea” initiatives.

    It’s all an absurdity, anyway. How can unions continue to support a party that’s platform includes the notion that “cars are bad!”? Are they gonna be happy riding to work on car-free roads on buses made in Canada?

    World Car Free Day

    I’ll recognize the day by taking the Suburban. It has a 454 and get’s 12 mpg downhill with a tailwind. Excuse my carbon.

    In other news, Al Gore was attacked whilst attempting to save another species from the ravages of Gorebull warming. It ain’t pretty.

    This reminds me of the Seattle Mayor who claims he rides his bike to work everyday. The only problem is that his security detail loads the bike onto the SUV, drives him from his home to about a block away from the office and then he rides the rest the way on his bike.

    Car-Free Week

    Great. I think this week I won’t use the economy car I use for commuting (Honda del sol @ 34 mpg) and use my 4.0 liter Jeep Wrangler (16 mpg on a good day) since it’s not really a car but more of a big metal box with wheels. Will that get me any points with the lib/progs?

    mondamay,

    Excellent point. Unless you’re into the dark and sitting in a circle listening to co-workers gasp for air, the Left’s whole premise is silly.

    I’d love to see some video of Seattle’s bike-commuting mayor. Probably not the only one pulling that little stunt. And why does the mayor of a ‘mellow’ west coast town need a security detail?

    Probably all those violent Tea Partiers huh?

    Instead of getting rid of his czars, Obama wants to add one more!

    If I lived and worked in a major city like Boston I would take the T daily. It is much easier than driving if it goes where you need to be.

    For people that don’t live in a major city, a car is the only sensible way to get around. Sure I could walk or ride a bike to the supermarket, pharmacy, etc. and back. However that is totally impractical and would take all day to accomplish what could be done in a few hours with a car. I’ll stick to my car.
