Hm. Great Idea.

I love the idea of exposing Leftist hypocrisy, but I think the contest should be expanded beyond the Bay Area.

Also, I'm not sure about including the Honda Civic in the winner's circle. Thirty MPG may not be outstanding, but it's hardly awful. (Of course, I realize that if we're really waging war for oil, and it's a bad thing to do, these people shouldn't be driving at all. So there's that.)

Via Ace.

1 It doesn't matter how well you expose their hypocrisy -- they are completely unable to see it. It's like trying to explain to a blind man in a black tuxedo that he's wearing brown shoes. Arguing facts with a person who is bound by feeling is like arguing with a fool (and who can tell them apart?). -B

2 I know there are people out there to whom that applies, but you know what?--I have an awful lot of very smart lefty friends.

3 um, I wouldn't disagree that many lefties are smart. but they still resort to emotional appeals rather than logic. "I feel your pain" ;D

4 Intelligence in service to emotions is not wisdom, it's cleverness. That's the same skill drug addicts use to get more dope. I know some very clever (former) drug addicts. Cleverness can be used to try to rationalize ANYTHING. -B

5 Some if it isn't emotion. Some of it has to do with ideals--ideals that I share, but feel are misapplied in a lot of geopolitical situations.
