Americans: Bush wants you to drive less
From today's NY Times article titled:
To Conserve Gas, President Calls for Less Driving "With fears mounting that high energy costs will crimp economic growth, President Bush called on Americans yesterday to conserve gasoline by driving less. He also issued a directive for all federal agencies to cut their own energy use and to encourage employees to use public transportation." ""We can all pitch in," Mr. Bush said. "People just need to recognize that the storms have caused disruption," he added, and that if Americans are able to avoid going "on a trip that's not essential, that would be helpful."" "Mr. Bush promised to dip further into the government's petroleum reserve, if necessary, and to continue relaxing environmental and transportation rules in an effort to get more gasoline flowing." "In 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney said, "Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it cannot be the basis of a sound energy policy." Also that year, Ari Fleischer, then Mr. Bush's press secretary, responded to a question about reducing American energy consumption by saying "that's a big no." "The president believes that it's an American way of life," Mr. Fleischer said."

Remember to take a bus home for the holidays. If I didn't know better I'd say it's almost as if he's calling Americans a bunch of gas-guzzling gasoline hogs who need to tighten their belts. :( |
I want him to stick a freshly sharpened number two pencil into his jugular, but so far my wishes haven't come true, either.

Well, I actually dont think that less driving is such a bad idea! We are polluting the world! |
already lookin at Hybrids, fuck this less-driving bullshit.

It occurs to me that Bush should then love us adult webmasters (those of us that are real webmasters that is).... we work at home, we don't need to drive to work every day like most people, we use FAR less gas than the average working person.
Okay, some of us might produce more emissions than others, but gasoline-wise we are very economical. :D |
I assume this means ol GeeDubya will be taking the company plane out for a spin a lot less?

"Mr. Bush promised to dip further into the government's petroleum reserve, if necessary, and to continue relaxing environmental and transportation rules in an effort to get more gasoline flowing."
What a hero. |
Nothing to see there
|
the idea of driving less is great,however coming from Bush's mouth it means a totally different thing.
