Pump It Up!

Here's your two-minute shot of awesome:

Did you catch the key line? It tells you all you need to know about the McCain campaign, the GOP, and the entire Right Wing Noise Machine:

It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant.

Isn't is great having a presidential candidate who's not afraid to call a wingnut a wingnut?

By the way, if you're surrounded by people who think waving a tire-pressure gauge is what passes for humor, point them to the U.S. Department of Energy's tips for improving mileage page and Bill Scher's collection of links, and then ask them, "Would you rather start saving 12 cents a gallon right now? Or 6 cents a gallon, twenty years from now?"

And then show them where to stick that tire gauge.

No, no, no. On the valve stem, I mean.

Brendan, I swear if you guys blow this one I'm going to swim over there and kick all 300 million of your asses!

Seriously, that was a great clip--but are the right (ahem) people listening?

Please don't wait. Come do it beforehand. Plus, you'd save some time -- you probably only need to kick about 50 million or so right now.

As for who's listening, I dunno. I like to imagine that my conservative readers are legion, and that one by one, they're being deprogrammed by my masterful subtlety. If that's not really true, then other reasons for my posting post things like this include being part of spreading the word, to maybe influence a reader on the fence, to rally the base (liberals need a lot of that, after the past couple of decades), ... and just because I liked the clip.
