My New Car

I just bought a new car. Actually no I didn’t, but if this car was available in the United States, I would for sure purchase it. Not only as a way to save money, but as a way to get back at the gas companies who are really screwing over America. Mike was talking about changing some driving habits, so I wanted to talk about how I would try to improve mine.

  2. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. 
  3. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. 
  4. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. 
  5. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

Gas could hit $8 a gallon

If a bill that comes out of Congress in June ever passes and is signed into law, then a new federal bureaucracy would be formed to manage the complicated new tax called cap & trade.  This would be all to pacify the Global Warming pessimists here and abroad.
