I posted this for the ignoramuses on the site:

"Interestingly, one could say that expecting people to change their behavior and start optimizing the air pressure in their tires is also ignorant.

Assume that a certain percentage of the population is already doing this (which initially takes away from the whole). Now, of the remainder, a lot don't care, and won't change, and many others don't have easy access to an air pump/compressor. And, all of this assumes that everyone's tires are not at an optimum pressure.

So, while we 'could' attain a 3 to 4 percent increase in mileage, I would argue that when the 'rubber hits the road', this is not a solution that garners much merit."

Well, now who's ignorant?

Amaps, you miss the point; that this is an enforceable change once you get the bureaucracy in place. I expect random tire pressure checkpoints to be similar to the random DUI checkpoints. Whether you get a ticket, or your vehicle is confiscated would probably be based on city funding needs.

Clearly you don't understand the distinction between the truth and The Truth!

Point taken. For some reason, my intention was to post something they might possibly read and think about. But I forgot one of the primary tenets of liberalism... They don't think, the feel. Yeah, well I feel like punching hippies! I actually had a hippy encounter the other day, but it was at church, so I had to keep the fists of fury holstered. Can you punch a girl hippy, or can you only smash her guitar? Anyway, the point is moot since the cops hauled her away before I could do anything useful for society.

i just had a brilliant idea.

We should all start to call McCain instead "M.C. Cain." You know, like M.C. Hammer. Then everyone will think that McCain is just an aging rapper, and then alot of people will think he is black and bam, we will split the black vote right there. And then Obama will be doomed... DOOOMED.

Obama will need tire-pressure police. I see a whole industry sprouting up supplying RFID-based tire-pressure sensors with their scanners mounted on our highways.

Oh, heck, let's go all the way with this idea! Let's RFID you (are you a citizen and have you paid your taxes?), your wallet with driver's license, registration and proof of insurance (are you wanted by the police? or have expired licenses? or no insurance?), your car and its systems including VIN (stolen?), speed (are you speeding?), tire pressure (is it low?), fuel economy (are you wasting gas?), emission levels (are you polluting too much), etc.

This would be consistent with our new garbage police.

Chris Matthews has been found out. See this highly magnified photo of him worshipping Obama....

opps here the link is under my liberal moniker Freemon SandleWould.

I would if I could but then I would have to work and we liberals are allergic to work. That's why we try to control you!

Remember everyone .... recycle your sandles!

Can you punch a girl hippy, or can you only smash her guitar?

You could take her tambourine and whack her across the ass with it.

No, no, no. That's just reinforcing bad behavior.

I like this new trend of politicians giving us practical advice. Maybe the next thing Obama can do is save me a bunch of money on my car insurance. Or help me book a flight and hotel online for cheep. Maybe he'll get four banks to compete for my loan so that I get a better deal. The possibilities are endless.

Horay! Stick art!

For a party that had a ton of comedians as members, democrats sure lack a sense of humor. Republicans are much funnier! But maybe that's because we have better subject matter to make fun of!

I like this slogan too.

DUMB AS A STUMP, VOTE FOR THE GRUMP

MCCAIN 08'

KoKo the gorilla has shown us the way. Using a simple substitution scheme, we have mastered written english. You need to fear us.

I knew he was funny, but I didn't know Harvey had artistic talent reminiscent of Frank's masterpieces! (go here for an example - http://www.imao.us/archives/001608.html)
Which is more likely - Harvey is Frank's alter ego or Harvey is a Vulcan and performed a mind meld with Frank to augment his drawing ability.

"You could take her tambourine and whack her across the ass with it." - echo5a
I agree, but only if she's hot.

'"You could take her tambourine and whack her across the ass with it." - echo5a'
"I agree, but only if she's hot."

I agree there could be a potentially "hot" hippie woman but, before I'd whack her ass with a tambourine, I'd start with a wash mitt and a razor.

Come to think of it, you might wanna just smash her guitar.

I think an attractive female hippie is right up there with the Loch Ness Monster and the Chupacabra.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd make fun of Obama just for being, well, an idiot.

That, and he seems to think this inflating of tires thing is his original brilliant idea, when I blogged about it months ago. Seriously. :)

You don't suppose. . . nah.

Obama, he could save you 10% or more on car insurance, before taxes of course.

Hillary is making her move!
The PUMA Force Amazons are on the march!
"The Doom That Came to Denver" is back on!

(P.U.M.A. = Party Unity? My Ass!)

M.C. Cain has rediscovered his testicular infrastructure!

and all because berrie can't take a joke!

"Remember today, little brother. Today, life is good!"

The Real Meaning:

"If everyone would just check the air pressure in their tires and get a tune-up they'd save as much oil as they could get by drilling ... Because There Won't Be Any New Damn Drilling Anywhere If I Have Anything To Say About It!!!

MMMWAH Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Hah!"
