Maybe now people will stop driving Hummers

I can only hope that now with gas crossing the $3.00/gallon price the idiots that feel the need to buy, own , and drive SUVs from their apartments to their offices 4 blocks away will see the folly of their ways and learn to use that amazing skill we evolved 50,000 years ago. Bipedal motion, ya jerks. One foot in front of the other. There you go. Yeah, just like the skill you use to get up and get a pack of twinkies from the kitchen during a commercial break.

It's just a shame that all that money is going to oil companies instead of rebuilding infrastructure. Europe's been paying even more than us for quite some time, except the difference was caused by taxes. They've got the bright idea to tax gas as a disincentive, so people will by smaller, more fuel efficient cars. And the tax revenue? Ever wonder why Germany has such nice roads and ours are falling apart?

Of course, knowing the present administration, the money would just go to harrassing grandmothers that are flying cross country and pumping billions of dollars into the former companies of the Vice President.
