Bush Admin. aggressive plan to reduce foreign oil dependence

I don't think with the present policy we will meet the 4920 deadline.

Ah, The Onion! Last bastion of irony and cutting wit.

I can NOT believe I wasted my time reading that article. Grrrrr.

 

ARE YOU KIDDING??!! What? Did he just pick a number out of a hat and decide that would be the year? In the scheme of things, if we're going to wait until 4920, how much of a difference will 600 years make? He just set a date far off enough, so that the current administration wouldn't have stop THEIR dependence on foreign oil!

 

Hey rachelbe - relax....sip some tequila and realize that the source of this "news" story is the Onion - a great satirical journal. Most of their spoofs have been truly funny - in a way it's sad, 'cause this government of ours provides so much raw material....

 

Very funny. At least we don't have Kerry's policy of all terrorists allowed in the US with free weapons as a peace initiative...

Hopefully we'll have some better candidates at the next election but we definitely ended up with the lesser of two evils with the last one.

 

You're an idiot. People like you are why I'm frustrated with Americans.

 

Agreed. Although I'm an American so I'd say it's comments like those that get me frustrated at HALF of the Americans.

 

The Onion is great. Though this wouldn't be the first time it's caused needless ire. In a Readers Digest letter to the editor someone used the Onion as a reliable source to substantiate Harry Potter author J.K Rowling's links to satanism. The response from the editor was pretty funny. "The Onion is... uh... a farce" or something to that effect. It's sad though how the current adminstration's ability to spew nonsence makes it hard to tell if the Onion is making something up or actually reporting valid news. And I used to be more republican than not. Now I'm just a disenfranchised social liberian/fiscal conservative (what republican should be). Where have all the centrists gone?!? :angry:

 

Agreed--Hey, ya just gotta shake your head at the childish replies you got. Attacking you personally--is there no end to the left's hypocrisy?!?!

 

Traanya Drinker, your signature says it all. I might be a tree hugger but I'm no tax and spend democrat. Like I said in my last post I don't really have a party at the moment. Both left and right are just wrong on too many core issues. Groan. Though, to be honest if it's a choice between Sweden (socialist utopia, Ack!) or Iran (fasicst theocracy, bloody hell!), I think I'll take Sweden. It may cost $50 for a pint of bitter but at least we'll finally have a kick nice person bikini team. That is if everything I've heard about Sweden is true.

 

It's true! I spent a couple weeks there in 2003 and 12 days there in on business 2004. I loved it--and will go back again! Stockholm is spectacular. There's an Absolute Ice Bar there and a club called Patricia's (an old ship) that I highly recommend. Many bikini team recruits were seen there!

 

i guess i am a bit frustrated also with americans & i am one 2......i see how kerry, who chose to voluntarily serve this country in a war he didnt have to go 2 ....his reputation was tarnished by the republican machine.......& bush who stole a position from a good pilot candidate in the reserve....he chose to go AWOL for 2 yrs! i see how this current government has been totally corrupt & unchecked...(check out enron) ....but we heard it over & over about whitewater.....how thousands of our troops are being killed in a war we shouldnt be in becuz of those weapons of mass destruction that were never found......we were looking for osama....but we found sadam.....& i dont think sadam ever killed any americans!...oh how great a country we are..........where old barbara bush can think that the displaced people of new orleans are better off on a cart in the astrodome than in their own homes..... & who is it that called these people refugees??? is it becuz most of them are black & poor?? i never knew people who were displaced in their own country could be refugees...... but go figure!?? :mellow: lets just follow bush's lead & drill in alaska & florida.... but then i'm just a common working woman........who loves my world, my country, & my people .....i love nature.....animals & my prius.......but i dont luv bush :angry:

 

Cocoatreat, I can't recall having read such condensed ignorance as your post above.

 

The genius of The Onion is that even with made-up "facts" it hits closer to the underlying truth than the "legitimate" media. A reader of The Onion will understand W. far better than a viewer of television news.

But, while the interpretation may be streched, she didn't really state any untruths...it's just how you want to believe things.
