That 70's show
I woke up this morning and looked around desperately for my Six Million Dollar man doll (oops I mean ACTION FIGURE).
This morning I honestly though I was having a flashback to 1978 as I heard the words of one Jimmy Carter coming out of the mouth of George W. Bush. George W. Bush, midland oil baron, Texas Ranger owner and Texas governor, was asking us to drive less!
Lord knows, Satan was turning down his thermostat.
If you remember the Presidential debate of 1980, then you'll remember Ronald Reagan slamming Jimmy Carter to the proverbial Presidential carpet with the following:
"Since then, he has blamed the people for inflation, OPEC, he has blamed the Federal Reserve system, he has blamed the lack of productivity of the American people, he has then accused the people of living too well and that we must share in scarcity, we must sacrifice and get used to doing with less. We don't have inflation because the people are living too well. We have inflation because the Government is living too well. And the last statement, just a few days ago, was a speech to the effect that we have inflation because Government revenues have not kept pace with Government spending."
Now a man who supposedly idolizes Reagan is asking Americans not too live well, not to live how we want to, not to drive where we want to? Is George insane?
My god, is somebody going to come out with a Neil Bush Beer next?
