$10 a gallon gas? Geo is the new Prius.

An MSN article asks, “What if gas cost $10 a gallon?”

Snacks should be readily available for crews cleaning up an overturned tractor trailer 50 miles south of Chicago on Interstate 80. The rig in question was hauling fourteen tons of Oreo cookies, and when it tipped, the trailer’s roof ripped open, spilling cases of the cookies onto the median.

Disclosure about the following link: I had a 1993 Geo Tracker, and it got 28mpg for a 4×4, but I’d have kept it if I would have known you could get $7,300 for it today, for people wanting a more cost-effective car than a Prius.

There Will Be Milkshakes

What the GOP doesn’t seem to realize, because they are idiots, is that “the change you deserve” is the registered advertising slogan of Effexor XR, a drug that many of you might have started taking as a result of all the…you know — terrorism.
