AmusingComments Off on Top Gear Test Drives The Toyota Prius
Jun142008
In my opinion Top Gear is one of the most entertaining shows on television. In this video, host Jeremy Clarkson presents a well-reasoned view of the Toyota Prius with classic British humor.
Liberals raise the Prius to godlike status because, to them, it is a rolling status symbol. They think it’s going to save the earth. Well the simple fact is this. It’s not going to save the earth, it doesn’t get out of this world gas mileage–it’s a car, nothing more.
AmusingComments Off on The Price Of Oil Rose 8% Today
Jun072008
Oil prices rose $11 per barrel today, closing at $139/barrel.
Now, you might ask yourself ‘What was the price of a barrel of crude in 1990?’
$10/barrel.
That’s right, oil prices rose more today, than a whole barrel of oil cost in 1990.
You might ask yourself ‘Why is that?’
Simple. In the past 30 years:
Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum. Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR. Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast. Democrats have blocked building oil refineries. Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production. Democrats have blocked clean coal production.
On a farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together.
One day, the two were playing when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.
Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help!
Off the chicken ran, back to the farm.
Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor.
Running around, the chicken spied the farmer’s new Harley. Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend’s life.
Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer’s bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the bike, rescued the horse!
Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
The friendship between the two animals was cemented: best buddies, best pals. A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!
The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.
Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thing and he would then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story? (Yes, there’s a moral): “When you’re hung like a horse, you don’t need a Harley to pick up chicks.”
