Friday Funnies

Bejing Olimpiks?

...lest we be accused of ignoring Sen. McCain:

I have to agree with Anon 3:52.  The Democrats made lots of promises about ending the war, but couldn't push it through the Senate.  Now they act as if they were unaware that you need 60 votes in the Senate to end a filibuster.  I can give Pelosi some credit for keeping her troops in line, but Harry Reed is one of the lamest leaders that any party has ever put forward.  Poaching a few members of the other party to your side is part of the job description, and the GOP managed to do just that to get Bush's program through without 60 votes - and it should have been a lot easier after the GOP meltdown in 2006.  Instead of effectively politicking, Harry Reed blundered about, declaring the Iraq war already lost, making excuses for his poor performance...pathetic.  Now the Dems are hanging on to their majority by the benevolence of an independent ex-Dem, Joe Lieberman, while they treat him like he has leprosy - he endorsed McCain for the simple reason that McCain asked him to, while none of the other senators running could be bothered.  The Dems should find a new Senate majority leader, especially if they can't get to 60 in the next election.  Sen. Reed isn't up to leading a caucus unless he has a majority that makes legislating idiot-proof for him.

Why not just promote Durbin?

Obama points out something that every expert and government agency agrees will save oil immediately and which costs nothing to do, and it is grounds for immediate ridicule.  It's as if the GOP has officially adopted the position that expecting Americans to exercise even the smallest degree of personal responsibility is a joke.That's because everyone is doing it, why question some one's intelligence by suggesting it?GOP blocks legislation by the time honored filibuster. While the democrats go home instead of voting on drilling for Oil. But they leave some poor smoe there reading so the President can't do recess appointments, even thou the court system is in a shambles because the democrats won't call the Presidents Judge nominees for a vote. 

Xian I just had my oil changed and they asked me about my air pressure. There are few people that don't check there air pressure it's not really that hard. If you are saying you and your liberal freinds have a problem with it who am I to comment. 

Even so there aren't enough to make a big difference in the oil supply.

No it's really funny to watch you defend something so stupid. You may think it's important to defend Obama no matter how dumb he looks but you know most voters think it's really stupid. You know I would keep going but I have better things to do.

Proper inflation of tires should be a part of any oil change.  Remember the days when the kid from high school used to run out to your car when you pulled up at the pump?  He'd "filler up", check the tires, the oil, wash the windshield, etc.

Nowadays it is up to us.  Personally, I try to change my own oil as much as possible (takes about 20 minutes and I prefer a certain kind of oil).  But tire pressure is much more difficult because so many of the inflation devices cost $1.00, or whatever, and are often on the blink (hint: Collins Oil on Main in Urbana still has free air).

No it's really funny to watch you defend something so stupid.

Ok.  Is it proper tire inflation that you find stupid, or the fact that a Presidential candidate dared to inject nuance into a debate about energy savings?  Must we just stick with "drill more oil!" or is it possible to have many solutions at the same time?  Either way, I am glad to provide entertainment for you.  :)
