Hip, hip, CAFE!

Some Dems celebrate a new Senate bill to boost gas mileage. But it's premature to toast the end of our high-octane bender.

    It's Not "The Terrorists" You Have To Worry About

    If I ever buy an SUV out of fear, I guess the terrorists really will have won.

    It's your fellow Americans who drive like maniacs you need to worry about. And who drive while yapping on cellphones, applying makeup and fiddling with the 6 disc CD player. They kill about 15 times more people each year than were killed in all US terror attacks combined.

    Let's not forget the police who do nothing about it except show up on holiday weekends doing seatbelt checks. Maybe they're too busy looking for signs of "real" terrorism.
