5. Good episode, but what was Andy Rooney on?

I missed most of his speech, except for the end - something about people not believing in what America stands for and suggesting America is going to end. The people who instantly came to my mind is Bushco* because they've attacked everything that America stands for. (they've also supported corporate america, which upon thought, is also an attack on America.)

6. Glad to see the Hummer tax break story hitting the mainstream

Hope it doesn't backfire.

Meanwhile, I've been saving up for a hybrid vehicle for years. It'd be swell if there were similar tax breaks for buying a 50mpg car. Who am I kidding, this is BFEE's America where massive oil consumption is encouraged.
