Drive naked, save America says "Glenn Beck"

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Call our politicians and tell them to stay on vacation. Call the caribou roaming in Alaska and tell them they're safe. Call the Saudi king and tell him what you really think of his oil.

I, Glenn Beck, a recovering alcoholic rodeo clown, have come up with a solution to America's energy crisis...and you're wearing it.

Look at yourself right now. You've probably got on a shirt, socks, shoes, jewelry, maybe even some pants. Do you have any idea how much all of that weighs?

If people really loved America, they would strip down, leave their clothes at home, and drive around buck naked. That would decrease the weight of our cars, which would increase our gas mileage so dramatically that we probably wouldn't have to drill for any new oil!

[Veto!]

Easily it will save more gas than Obummer’s plan.

hehehehehahahahahahohohohohohhahahaha good one!

However, the amount of collisions due to soccer moms driving with no clothes on would easily cause more harm than good.

I often check the air of my tires in the nude.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth just now.

as long as you don’t have to step out of the car it might work...so drive throughs would enjoy a boom so to speak :)

Here in PHoenix we drive around in tank tops and shorts - pretty close in my opinion.

[brivette]

check your tires! Oh! Bama.

[Rightly Biased]

Do that in Texas in August and you’d think better of it the Seatbelt buckle/clasp is like a branding iron.

Hey, Sparky: these two will be happy to check your tire pressure...

[xc1427]

...then immediately check your pelvic pressure....

fyi, merely using the “size” attribute in html does not change the size of the image to be downloaded to the browser, only how it is displayed.

your image (nice though it is) still weighs in at a hefty 2.6 MEG, or about 25x the bandwidth if the image was actually resized.

[TruthWillWin]

I like that idea for some, others need to stay dressed.

[andy58-in-nh]

Sorry - I knew it was a large image when I posted it but I didn’t check the actual byte size, as I usually do. I must have been distracted by something. ;-)

[fnord]

well I can understand that ...

> New Zealand?

I do believe so — if I had to guess, Hamilton.
