Isn't It Nice To Own the Media?

The Tire-Gauge Solution: No Joke - TIME

I suppose the MSM will be coming out with some headlines that say "The Surge Worked, BO and all the Democrats were wrong"? How about "The Economy isn't in a recession, that takes 2 quarters of negative growth"? Nope, don't think so.

The surge and the economy are both factual looks at current conditions / past predictions. The predictions of how much one MIGHT save IF all the tires were properly inflated ... PLUS all the discussions about "2030" give a lot of leeway. I think one only has to look at the video and look at the crowd to know the truth-nobody that lives in the real world believes that there is ANY chance that folks are going to run out and all get anal about tire inflation. I'd think the "logical thing" for Dems to do is pass a law REQUIRING everyone to have auto-inflate on tires. Now THAT would make perfect Democrat sense ... spend 100's of billions across the country to save 100's of millions or low billions. But maybe given that by "some calculation", they could be "right"?

Of course, the MSM LOVES to talk about "What if we HADN'T gone into Iraq" ... or "What if we had put a bunch of controls on fuel use long ago and far awy". Their level of curiosity is MUCH lower about how about if we had been drilling 40 years ago, doing nuke plants, developing oil shale, etc. There seems to be sort of a "localized curiosity".
