State of the États-Unis

How to break our country's addiction to oil?
Does anyone remember the hugely successful anti-drug "Just Say No" campaign of a few years back? Nope? Neither do I.
Memo to the President: maybe you should fly a hybrid Air Force One, eh?

Two small points:

1. Everyone is addicted to oil unless you lived in Amish County and I don't think Amish girls are your type. Or do you enjoy 3 little Amish pie makers are we?

2. Air Force One is fueled by jet fuel which is usually kerosene destilled from coal.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about? What is this Amish nonsense?
Also, as for the Presidential point, whatever his mode of transport is or whatever it is fuelled by, I am obviously trying to funny.

[Ms. Haliburton]

So was I.

Amish girls drive horses and make lots of pies and noodles.

if you said "Quaker girls" ... well now we're talking.

See'in I'm a bit older than you, but a Quaker none the less, why don't you love me like a man, American Wanker?

[stephenesque]

Because you're ugly.

[George Cadbury]

I'm better looking than Bonnie. Plus I can keep you in all the chocolate you fancy so how's about it, old wanker?

[Elizabeth Fry]

Turn your back for 150 years or so and look what happens.

OK, I don't normally make suggestion as to what aerial vehicle to use but... what about that fluffy large flying dog-creature in "The Neverending Story?" It seemed very sympathetic and had a fabulous smile!

Someone, twenty years later, is still sucking that particular Regan-era government tit for all it is worth.

Every pisser I've ever visited in this country has a red rubber mat in the bottom of it, with the words "Just Say No!" and the label "Swisher".

Either they're still gettin' paid for that or nobody ever cleans the bogs.

[stephenesque]

So, Rannva, from your comment I guess you DIDN'T say "no" ;-)
Bearded, telling it like it is!

Addicted to oil?

You found that Hybrid cars get no better mileage than a Metro or Festiva, but cost 10 times as much?

Wondering what to do?

Consider LPG. Everything you have in your house, I mean everything, has at one time been handled by a LPG powered vehicle. It's not a new technology. It's not expensive. It's not hard or expensive to convert any pre-1998 vehicle.
