    I went with the family apple and strawberry picking and saw a couple of suburbans with "Hydrocarbon powered eco-vehicle" stickers. I thought maybe it was the usual E85 fuel-flex non-sense but I could not find such badging in these cars.

    Just for kicks I did a google search for "Hydrocarbon powered eco-vehicle" and what came out astounded me. The sticker is meant to represent being proud of using a gas guzzler!! This is a movement apparently started by Glenn Beck. I knew he was an idiot pundit just like O'Reilly but I think this even surpasses it.

    Check out the sticker, Glenn Beck's "musings" on the issue and their store below the fold. Please put your outrage filters on...

    What a complete idiot.

    This has nothing to do with your discussion, but where do you go apple AND strawberry picking? Their seasons don't usually overlap.

    I can't cast too many stones about that. Before I got married I knew diddly squat about produce & their seasons.

    I'll reply only because I can agree with Alric for a change. What an idiot (Beck, that is). :)

    I think it's a stupid joke actually.
    Anyone who puts this sticker on wants to look like they are doing the right thing, maybe after enough comments they may realise how cool it would be to actually do the right thing?
