A modest proposal

I can’t take credit for this, alas; all props go to my friend Kim. She writes:

A few weeks ago in the cafeteria downstairs I suggested, perhaps too loudly, that maybe it should be illegal for people to put stickers of American flags on vehicles that get less than 15 miles per gallon.

I think this is a brilliant idea, and I’m going to write my representatives in Congress. (Since my rep is one of the most liberal folks in Congress, I bet she’ll love the idea!)
