“Long-in-the-tooth” John and his band of radical 19^th century thinkers has proposed a Kremer like prize for the lucky American who invents a better battery for an electric car. (Let’s forget that GM had EV1’s running all over California more than ten years ago, before they, and their oil company buddies killed the car and destroyed all the prototypes.)

Now, the man who swears he is not Bush (except for on the war and taxes and torture and drilling and F.I.S.A and fake terror alerts and…) wants to find $300 million to give as a prize for electric car advances.

Never mind that Toyota alone puts about $8 billion into the same idea, and they’ve actually come up with a few good ideas already.

$300 million pays for about fifteen minutes of your war in Iraq.

$300 million would insult your pals at the oil companies.

I’m pretty sure we’re already – that’s we as in American taxpayers who are subsidizing GM and Ford and Chrysler – forking over a few bucks here and there so the geniuses that ran the American auto industry into the ground can develop better, more fuel efficient cars.

Oh, that’s right, every time a piece of legislation comes up mandating better, more fuel efficient cars, you vote against it.

Probably because those dang “au-to-mobeels” are scaring your horses.

Why don’t you campaign in that Conestoga wagon you have out back at the ranch – you could show us all how to really conserve…and you’d be helping your pals at the Conestoga wagon lobby.
