This is totally hilarious. From GasTaxScam.com:
CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT POLITICAL PROPOSAL Dear Sir First we must solicit your confidence in this issue. This is by virtue as being utterly confidential and "top secret". We are SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON, the wife of the former United States head of state, PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, and also SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN, friend and associate of current head of state PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH. We got your contact through business inquiries as we were searching for contacts of a citizen who can help save our and our family's political careers since our country has been frustrating us. We are top officials of the United States Senate Government who are interested in importation of oil into our country with funds that are presently trapped in the FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION TRUST FUND dedicated to improving transportation. We wish to send this money to overseas accounts in the MIDDLE EAST but cannot due to restrictions in Congress Transportation Equity Act requiring that this money must be spent to build roads, bridges and high speed trains. If you accept we will deliver to your a sum of 30 DOLLARS in the summer 2008 in form of a "GAS TAX HOLIDAY". You will then deliver this money to accounts of our friends in Middle East by taking it to your nearby gasoline station where they have information to forward the money. Please supply your bank account, social security number, address and your vote in DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES AND NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION. But bear in mind that this transaction requires absolute confidentiality. Do not visit www.GASTAXSCAM.COM where there is information about dangers of our proposal and a petition to stop us from this diversion of funds. PLEASE NOTIFY US URGENTLY OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PROPOSAL Awaiting your rapid response Yours truly SENATORS HILLARY CLINTON AND JOHN MCCAIN I'm just sayin'... |

Heh heh...is this gas tax holiday one of the most moronic plans I've ever heard of? Even McCain is calling his own plan "a bandaid" and hasn't said where the est. $10 billion highway improvement dollars will come from. |

Yep, sums it all very nicely. Not one economist I've read of supports this plan. But hey, it's election time... |

Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.-- Tim Cahill
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
