Neighbors Attempt Rescue of Electric-Car Owner (http://www.scrappleface.com/MT/archives/001140.html#001140)
(2003-08-15) -- In one of the more poignant episodes resulting from the multi-state power outage, this morning neighbors of a suburban Detroit man attempted to rescue the owner of an electric car.
"He was just sitting there in the driveway, staring," said one concerned neighbor. "We tried to help. We offered him rides in our SUVs but he just screamed something about global warming and George Bush and Iraq."
Apparently, the electric-car owner normally recharges his vehicle overnight.
"This blackout is obviously a Bush administration plot to slow the booming sales of electric cars," the vehicle owner said. "Dick Cheney is doing this for his buddies at Halliburton. Well, those neocons are not going to get me. I would rather die than burn fossil fuel in my car."
