Shocking
I may have to start a new category called 'power balls' or something. Yesterday I clicked through a Glenn Reynolds post on the Obama "1 Million Hybrid Chickens In Every Pot Plan" and thought it was a joke article from the Onion. In a nutshell the article explains Obama's new energy plan to bankrupt us well into the twenty-first century by announcing a pork program open to the first campaign contributors to get in line. That fluctuating one percent lead must be making some inside people very nervous.
Ok, ok, so what it is is that Obama is promising free money to people who make believe they are helping him get one million hybrid electric cars on the road by 2015, a seriously low ball number that has got to have lobbyists salivating. It wouldn't be politics without the cheese so the old "entire White House fleet" would be magically transformed upon an Obama win as well.
What I missed was that Reynolds's post turned into one of his rare 'long' pieces as a reader asked "Great. Just great. Where the heck is he going to get all the electricity from?" Tragically I'm just recovering from the muscle sprain I suffered twisting to pat myself on the back for addressing this theme way back in nineteen… I mean on July 22nd.
