Maybe there are petroleum reserves somewhere inside Nickels's monstrous head.

This guy looks like some sort of knuckle dragging Lummox! And that lady looks like Bela Lugosi.
Is this pic some sort of promo shot for Plan 9 from Outer Space?

Why not just ban privately owned vehicles and be done with it already?

"bicycle, walk, jump rope and create chalk art instead."

Being disabled, I might be able to do the last.

So a summer block party is part of the new energy plan?

They're idiots twice: once for this stupid "plan", and once for thinking that we are stupid enough to accept it as an alternative to lower energy prices.

Seattle has also banned bottled water in any government building http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2004281669_water14m.html) AND Seattle shoppers will soon pay 20 cents for each and every plastic bag used to carry purchases. Starting next year, styrofoam takeout boxes will be illegal in Seattle eateries, delis and fast food outlets. Yes, the mayor is a major moonbat. (So is our governor, but that's a different story)

Wow. He is a moonbat, but that's hardly surprising, considering Seattle seems to be a rainier version of San Francisco.

Btw, you might suggest to Greg that he loosen that collar. He looks like he's about to stroke out.

Pam has it right. Cars (according to moonbats) must go.

Think about what they're doing: taking away your right to mobility for a day. "Yep, today you have less freedom, but it's OK because we are saving the planet." THE GOVERNMENT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO RESTRICT YOUR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN THIS WAY. This isn't an emergency or disaster. Marshall law hasn't been implemented.

Man, you people of Seattle can NOT let this stand. If they can say "you may not move freely" on ONE day, they can do it on ANY day.

When proclamations come from a single government official without a general vote, or an act of legislators, Liberals call it "freedom".

Thanks Shrek......
Can I borrow Donkey?

"Btw, you might suggest to Greg that he loosen that collar. He looks like he's about to stroke out."

LOL. Pretty sure he eats from the same pork-laden buffet table as Algore.

"Man, you people of Seattle can NOT let this stand. If they can say "you may not move freely" on ONE day, they can do it on ANY day."

That's no doubt in the works. Also being discussed in this "great" state is the possibility of .40 per MILE tolls on ALL major commuter routes during "rush hours".

Bryherb, you made LULZ. "Tor love Bela!"

Silly liberals - first they do away with all of the "Sunday laws" designed to encourage rest on one day per week, then they turn around and tell you to "just chill" and do "chalk art" on Sunday. Oh, that's right: God bad, Gaia good.

This will also be done in NYC. I think the idea is less about removing cars, and more about keeping cards off the roads of rich. In NYC, the car ban applies to fifth avenue. Bloomberg could have chosen a busier street in a middle-class neighborhood to give us a break from the traffic. I also agree that they want to ban cars to limit our mobility. In New York, Robert Moses built limited the height of the overpasses by the beach specifically to keep out bus traffic. And I expect the pols would never privatize the mass trans system because the private companies might introduce bus lines that drop off in leisure destination popular amongst the rich.

Don't start the class warfare crap, "d". This is ALL about limiting mobility, encroaching on freedom and killing the economy & replacing it with a socialist government.

The idea that you stop private enterprise from getting in the mass transit game because the unwashed masses will infiltrate rich leisure destinations is ludicrous.

The reason rich leasure destinations are rich is because they have had the advantage of unobstructed access and cheap gas over the years... people could come and spend their leftover hard earned cash. Now with gas prices like they are, not only are people broke after paying bills and for gas all week, but there is no cash leftover, so those places (tourist destinations, even the rich ones) are hurting... your logic is flawed d.
