TRUCKS AND SUV'S FOR MILES AND MILES


An email today to Sully, new affectionate name for Andrew Sullivan, one of the earliest of the political bloggers and an early gay Republican moving more and more toward the middle if not the left, bemoaning the issue of energy, well, here's the email...

EMAIL OF THE DAY: "Scratching my head about Rita and the economy at the same time, I came across a revealing picture. Why are oil prices so high? Hurricanes? Iraq? Unrest in Nigeria maybe? Or could it be the fact that every single vehicle but one in this picture is an SUV or a truck?"

The link is to the NYTimes, Headline reading “Texans Leave Houston and Coast as Hurricane Rita Moves Closer” and the photo stored at Flickr. NYTimes archives their articles after 3 days, then charges to access. The telltale photo HERE.
