FUH2 - Stillwater Style

This just in from The Deets’ Stillwater correspondent, Jeff Deitch. He’s carbon-off-setting the H2 on his block with his Honda Insight. And he’s hypermiling the Insight, so I think he’s topping our work Expedition’s MPGs by a few fold.

FUH2 Stillwater

If you owned a H2, would you feel embarrassed to park it near an Insight?

On a somewhat related note, I received an email from someone who stumbled across The Deets last night after Googling himself. I had commented on - and disagreed with - a letter he had written in the Star Tribune. He included this gem among his comments to me:

” . . . unlike some, I don’t find it necessary to use the “finger” to impress my readers. See my website for a comparison to yours.”

I think by “unlike some” he means me.

I’ll take the opinion of a person who thinks women shouldn’t have the right to an abortion after being raped for what it’s worth.

If you’re looking for an alternative to The Deets where the “finger” isn’t used to impress readers, I suggest you give Hap Corbett’s site a try.

People who have abortions are losers. Just as a Seth Yantiss.

Looks like I stirred the turd over at SayAnyThingBlog.com a bit. Seth Yantiss, who apparently is one of the site’s resident dittoheads, is taking talking points from the Scarlet Letter in his stance against abortion. Wouldn’t addressing the common reasons women have abortions (lack of health care, stable income, housing) be a better approach to preventing abortions than castigating women?

Do you get the impression that Yantiss would be the kind of guy who’d use any and all connections to try to get out of a speeding ticket, yet thinks other people need to take resonsibility for their actions . . . or else?

Seth Yantiss: Though it may sound mean, we should prop these people up as the losers they are and show all of our children the reasons NOT TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. These people would only server as an example to others on how not to live. The majority would get it faster, seeing the real world example of where being stupid gets you, and within a generation, fewer people would mimic the poor behavior. By coddling and apologizing for f-ups we tell the next generation that “it’s okay to screw up… someone will cover for you… don’t worry about it.”
