So you want to help fight the war on terrorism. Take offensive action against countries and organizations contributing to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction? Pissed off about the SUV that cut you off or took two parking spaces at Starbucks? JoinArianna Huffington'sDetroit Project and Americans For Fuel Efficient Cars.
These television commercials are funny. And why did they call this guy George? (realaudio player required) TV ads will be broadcast this weekend on "Meet The Press," "Face the Nation" and "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" in Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Washington. Thanks to Aaron Swartz for the pointer and link to this article at The New York Times discussing the concept of how driving an SUV makes you a financier of terrorism.
But truthfully. This is more about fuel efficiency and dependency reduction rather than terrorism. Last year Senators McCain (R-Arizona) and Kerry (Massachussets) sponsored a bill that called for increased fuel efficiency standards.
Then again, an alternative strategy might be to get the auto companies to develop a secondary automobile 'fuel'that must be purchased after expended.

I was pleasantly surprised, amused and excited to find that blogger extrodinaire, John Robb, may be the next switcher. After a decade and a half, he's moving to Macintosh. I'd recommend the new 17" Powerbook -- considering he's looking at a 3 year amortization and possession cycle. Now before he makes his other major 2003 purchase, he'll want to read this post.
