    Gumption 4 U!

    @elephantman

    I must give you credit for sheer gumption. You are wrong about every thing. You are on the wrong side of every issue I can imagine. Yet you go on, like the energizer bunny, blindly, blatantly wrong.

    How'd Sarah Palin work out for you?

    -- Christopher Michael Neill

    I give you credit for continuing to mistake me for that law student and blogger who gained fame with his support for Governor Palin. I am not that guy. He is not me. I've made that clear previously, but you are one of the few, so determinedly ignorant, that you continue to not get it.

    Remember too that my complaints about things like CAFE are things about which the UAW and the Southern cabal that Salon is now complaining about, were in substantial agreement. It was your team (what team are you on, one might wonder?) the green Democrats from California, Massachusetss and like-minded places, that took their money form the Sierra Club and then insisted on something as dumb as, as unproductive as, and as futile as, "CAFE" standards. A thoroughly responsibility-free way to run a government. Don't tax people's gasoline; tax the automakers, forcing them to make different kinds of cars from what they'd otherwise do in order to make some money.

    Maybe, someday, we could discuss this over a drink. You may need a straw.
