Last week, John McCain gave a major speech on the environment. Before that, Mitt Romney made alternative energies a focal point of an appearance in Northern Virginia.

That’s the way... Uh huh, uh huh... The way I like it... Uh huh, uh huh...

Oh yeah? Well, I burn more than that AND do it without using a catalytic converter, or even a pcv valve, and even leak a little oil, for good measure!
I'll let my (so much bigger & nastier) "carbon offsets" go for less, too!
Do I hear a $295?
