America's laze of glory
The fear is that gas will get so expensive we'll have to change our transportation habits. And changing habits is America's least favorite thing to do. It took us centuries to break such enjoyable yet negative behaviors as smoking, bare-knuckle boxing and McCarthyism. In order to keep from losing another pastime, unnecessary driving, many are suggesting we increase domestic drilling. They're hoping to repeat the famed Clampett strike of 1962, though such a discovery is unlikely. The days when a farmer looking for some food can accidently stumble upon bubbling crude are long gone.

Men.

"There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant."
