WELL, MAYBE NOT ON THE PART OF YOUR CORRESPONDENT; HOWEVER, TO THE MINDS OF CERTAIN ZEALOTS AND TRUE BELIEVERS in Neoconservatism tending to Fascism, "real Americans" are getting sick and tired of Barak Obama's suggesting where motorists checking their tyre pressure would go a long way towards saving gas, for one.

Now it's emerged that the idea is nothing new: Back in 1990, President Bush peré was urging Americans to check tyre pressure as one way to save fuel brought upon by his Middle Eastern misadventures, and there were Public Service Announcements being broadcast to that effect.

Said advice not sitting well with the hard-wired specimens of Zealotry and True Belief in Neoconseratism, as witness remarks by Newt Gingrich on Fox Prolefeed (hat tip to Think Progress) when the issue of proper tyre pressure vis-a-vis saving fuel recently surfaced anew, dismissing such as (in his exact words) "ludicrous" and "Loony Tunes."

Your Correspondent, for his part, feels maintaining proper tyre pressure is but one step "right-thinking American" motorists can take to help save fuel; others I know of include:

• Having tyres checked for wear, and replacing such as show signs thereof;
• Having tyres rotated on a regular basis;
• Having alignment systems checked on a regular basis;
• Having regular tune-ups as recommended in the Owner's Manual, including oil and transmission-fluid changes @ recommended intervals, radiator/cooling system flushing and refills (distilled water isn't really necessary, unless the owner's manual specifically recommends it), and replacing oil and air filters as recommended;
• Reducing highway speeds to reasonable levels, e.g., 60 mph on open highways and 55 mph on urban freeways; and
• Avoiding wasteful acceleration, "jackrabbit" starts and distractions, especially unnecessary cell-phone use or text-messaging (which, in some states, is now illegal while driving).

(And, in the case of longer drives, maintaining mental alertness by making brief rest stops every 2-3 hours of driving to stretch the muscles and sip something refreshing--and non-alcoholic.)

AS IF PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE-TEMPERED MR. BANG'S USING PARIS HILTON IN CAMPAIGN ADVERTISING, Ms. Hilton herself is taking a swipe herself with this online video from FunnyOrDie.com as is worth watching--and sharing.

HARD TO SAY IF THE FOLLOWING NEWS WILL SCORE POINTS WITH HIS FRAUDULENCY'S GREAT WITHIN HOPING TO EXPAND THE UR-RAHOWA'S IRAQI FRONT into Iran to the point of backing down, especially as an "October Surprise" trick to benefit the McCain campaign:

Citing pressure from human-rights groups, Iran has announced that it has abolished the penalty of death by stoning, and will review the court sentences of those thus sentenced for such offences we "morally superior" Americans would dismiss as whimsical as possessing alcohol, "un-Islamic" dress or behaviours, "adultery" and suchlike.

ADVICE FOR THE CSI CROWD IN RESPONSE TO RON SUSSKIND'S LATE CHARGES OF OUTRIGHT FORGERY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UR-RAHOWA IN IRAN, and said forgery being on the hands of His Fraudulency's Great Within all along:

With said Great Within spinning the story in unbelievable directions, may I suggest some forensic testing being conducted on the paper, ink, even stylee of handwriting used in the "memos" in question to conclusively confirm that forgery was involved.

Forgery of the Protocols of Zion stylee, come to think of it.

In due time, then, such should help connect the dots to the point of revealing that it was the Great Within and its "inside of the inside" as cooked up 9/11 for sinister and perverted ends and purposes.

COINCIDENCE OF HISTORY AS MAY/MAY NOT BE ONE FOR RIP LI: The Unfortunate Events of 9/11/01 occured exactly 60 years to the day of Colonel Charles Lindbergh's infamous speech to an America First rally in Des Moines, blaming "effete British elites" for steering America all the closer to World War II, as would become the undoing of the "America First!" movement seeking to maintain American neutrality in the name of "our antient and pecuilar soverignty and soverign identity."

And would, in the end, turn the tide towards America supporting the Allied cause in World War II, with the Pearl Harbor attacks being the catalyst.

WOULD YOU HAVE THESE WEIRD AND UNWHOLESOME TYPES IN YOUR BACK YARD?

Though the item following (as translated from the original Yiddish) appeared in the Jewish gazetta Forward 75 years ago this week (and is thus featured in their "Looking Back" column), the message still has its freshness for our own time, what with home-grown extremists posing as much a threat of terrorism as foreign-based such (though the Great Within of His Fraudulency and their propaganda droogs doesn't want you and me knowing as much):

Although German government officials deny it, their supporters are still distributing significant amounts of pro-Nazi propaganda throughout the United States. It was recently discovered that a Nazi front group, the German-American Commercial League, had set up shop in the pretty little town of Suffern, N.J., where the group maintains a kind of summer resort in which, it was noticed, members walk around naked a lot and hold pro-Nazi rallies. It was also noticed that every car in their parking lot has a swastika emblem. They also occasionally march through the town in rows of six, singing Nazi songs and cursing Jews. Suffern's residents have had enough of this behavior and are taking measures to put a stop to it. The German-American Commercial League was not available for comment. Two things that are known are that the group claims 380,000 members in the United States and Canada and that its headquarters is at 12 West 77th Street in Manhattan.
