In case you were wondering, I’m going to keep beating this drum. Incidentally, the problem with the “wartime sacrifice” meme isn’t just that it’s politically toxic. It also happens to be wrong on the merits.

This ad came out a while ago, by the way. It’s really tame compared to what we will see.

Uh…yeah. I’m not holding my breath. I’m just going to laugh as people start hurting as gas prices rise. It’s sort of funny because this has been happening for a while, but everyone keeps denying it. Now it’s here and everyone is like, “Holy crap!!!” Funny!!

Wow. We shouldn’t be asked for what technology can’t deliver.

Not enough pejorative words in the English language to describe this one.
