Wacko of the Week -- 07/07/07

THE TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

For building an energy-efficient, "green", world-saving automobile that can go as fast as 100 miles per hour, and more! What a wonderful world we're going to have, running around in our energy saving street bombs at breakneck speeds. They'll be whizzing all over the Montana freeways like mountain sheep, no pun intended.
[Or, worse yet, like California goats! CLICK ]

Here's the culprit!
Boy, it looks so harmless.



and here's the scientist who did the study that led to our new knowedge:
ALBERT GORE III

It's good old American know-how that makes this research possible. Oh, let's admit, he did use some Japanese parts, although you wouldn't know that if you just watched the commercials. Of course, the illegal drugs helped also. (You know, maybe Edison and Einstein were puffing pot also.)


"Al Gore III, son of the former vice president, was arrested in California early Wednesday morning for suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs. Gore was allegedly driving a blue Toyota Prius at speeds over 100 mph when he was pulled over around 2:15 a.m. on the San Diego freeway south of Los Angeles."

Even Further COMMENTARY:
This is only the latest in what seems to be an endless steam of news about politicians' children behaving badly. On the other hand, if they weren't kids of the famous, their misdeeds would go mostly unnoticed and their lives would be easier.

Then, too, who would've thought a Prius could go that fast? I might have tried that out myself, just for the sake of scientific research.
