Airlines should all fail and shut down. If prices skyrocketed out of sight so that only Moguls and Wazirs and Rappers could afford it, so what? In fact that can only be for the better. I would love to see passenger volume drop by 90%. No more TSA, no more delays, no more bailouts, no more horror stories. Eventually American's would simply stop traveling long distances and we would become more of a regional oriented country. Even if you restrict yourself to traveling no further than you can drive in a day that stills leaves a pretty big country. And no one's going to be traveling to Europe, Asia or South America for much longer anyway. Caribbean? Take a boat.

Naturally.

It's a self limiting problem for the most part.

Scariest. Movie. Ever.

I'm not an ecologist zealot in the least. I simply don't care whether the airlines operate or not. The country is too damn large and if it devolved into regional confederacies that would be fine by me. The SalonFranocrats here are I'm sure familiar with the history of Spanish missions in Mexifornia. They were generally placed 21 miles apart because that's how far someone could travel in one day. I think that's a great idea and we should get back to a notion of geography that looks at the country in terms of strictly parochial fragmentation. Again, I'm not an enviro-loon. I just don't believe in the existence of America.

$20,000 could easily pay for itself on those terms.

aka The Trollenberg Terror. Awesome

Cue the Theremin. wooooooowwweeeeeeeeiioooioooiooouuuuuuu

Is a Muslim Communist Tirririst who will raise your texas!

Ohio will go GOP because, well, Americans are morons. Good luck with that. George W McPalin will be America's last President.

If you don't drive an F-350 you aint shit. My neighbor has a custom built F-450 6 door 4x4. As big as a fishing boat. Which he tows behind. I don't know maybe it gets 7mpg but who cares? He's an orthodontist. I doubt he even knows what the price of gas is.

USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!

Everyone knows that.

America is finished anyway. Moribund and on the way out. Not even worth blowing up anymore.

do you think all those Russian whores trucked in illegally are going to volunteer to go back to Magnitogorsk?

Americans will give up practically anything before they give up the car or truck of their desire. If every single vehicle in the US got 1mpg and was as big as a tank people would live in them before they stopped driving.

And a Sunday school teacher. Elizabeth Dole licks crank off the Devil's Erection.

Don't unnerstan whatchamalcalit fruhee speech.

Never underestimate the destructive capacity of human garbage.

McPalin will steal Ohio and Pennsylvania. Obama will tie effectively in NC and FLA. Antonin Scalia is already prepping his coronation of McPalin. John McCain will last about a year. Sarah McPalin will be the last President of America before it becomes a totalitarian theocracy.

Everyone knows this. Enough chitchattering already.

McPalin will steal the election and we'll get a Feudalistic Totalitarian Theocracy. Economics will matter very little when you are all the chattel property of the United States Church of Jesus Christ.

I figure after they steal the election they'll send all of you to Camp Maverick up in the Alaskan tundra.

We don't need a safe haven law anymore. Just toss your prom night baby in those convenient compactors.

And they're too cool for that.

Once she attains the Oval Office. American Gulag here we come.

Once she is Empress of the Realm and Defender of the United States Church of Christ the Redeemer, she'll be free to simply ignore the Bill of Rights. It's not like you haven't handed the Executive Branch a precedent.

Today in Iran, Salon's heroes, they perform mass public executions for the crime of "Enemy of Islam, and for being Rogue and a Rascal". Those are the literal charges. I can't see anyone really worrying about that here as a consequence. I know I won't. I say let's give Totalitarian Theocracy a chance.

Because, you know it only gets funnier and funnier after the 2.36x10^570th time.

I and George Lincoln Rockwell applaud you.

My opponent smokes crack with Satan while dancing naked round a bible and baby bonfire. He will take all your money, every dime convert you Islam and force you to have abortions at gunpoint. At least we can all agree, it's the Jews' fault. Thank you and vote early.

NC and FLA wind up in a tie, Antonin Scalia is called in to award the election to McCain. McCain lasts about 10 months in office, keels over. Palin becomes the Protector of the United States Church of Christ the Warrior. America dies once and for all. Liberals blame the Jews, before they themselves are shoved into the ovens.

That would imply a GOP loss and this is something that will not be permitted. Sorry. NC for instance will probably lose all of its early ballots. McCain will lose the popular vote, toss it over to the Supreme Court for a victory. It doesn't matter what happens in Congress since the Unary Executive will rule. For a little less than a year at which time McCain dies or resigns for health reasons. Palin becomes Empress of the Realm and we end with a totalitarian theocracy. Saloniks blame te Jews as they are herded off to concentration camps in Alaska.

Honestly you are precious. Just precious. They will win by hook or by crook or the Supreme Court. Palin will be President this time next year. Bring a sweater, those concentration camps up in Alaska get cold.

Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania won't actually count any votes. They'll just make up some numbers that aren't completely unbelievable.

I guess we should all be in jail.

Did not know Gary Trudeau still breathed.

Only the most tasteful and culturally diverse gloves and lampshades though. The kind of thing you can get in a museum giftshop.

que?

what does Pam think?
