  • Forward Thinking

    From On High

    Audi\’s \”Green Police\” Super Bowl Commercial When I saw this commercial, I didn’t think about buying an Audi. I thought this was a great illustration of the environmental left’s ideal society.

    If Cap and Trade legislation still have the slimmest chance of passing, it's buried under the snow in Washington, D.C.
