There's a great quote about the MINI in this article in today's Washington Post about Rachel Ray, the Food Network personality:

"That mini goes like a rocket ship!" Ray says, laughing. "My mommy zips around in it, this little 4-foot-10, 70-year-old Italian woman. It's the cutest thing. She got a speeding ticket the first time she took it out. When the officer pulled her over, she told him, 'I'm sorry, it's impossible to make this vehicle go less than 90.' "

Isn't it great that America has a President who has the vision, the leadership skills, and abilities that we so despertely needed way back in 2000, today, and thru 2008.

Yeah and with all that Iraqi oil we can afford to burn tons of gas and do 90+.
