The Detroit Project

2003-01-09 18:05:23+01 by Diane Reese 0 comments

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had the idea that I was completely at odds with Arianna Huffington. I am now finding that this may not be true. I'm with her 100% on this latest one: fuel efficiency is important to national security. SUVs (and other gas-guzzling vehicles) are helping to fund terrorism. Her Detroit Project has produced a couple of 30-second TV spots parodying the Bushies' "drugs-fund-terrorism" spots, and I find them spot-on. (They're on the site, if you're willing to watch them in RealPlayer; their scripts are there also.) (And yes, I drive a hybrid. It's not just talk.)

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
