The only gas it can't run on is Congressional Hot Air. That stuff is
so toxic the EPA confines it to DC. <grin>
....And the ideal fuel for an internal combustion engine is gasoline,
specifically 95 Octane gas. No other liquid fuel packs so much energy
per unit weight. It's a liquid at room temperature and fairly easy to
store and handle safely. Currently we make it from crude oil but it
turns out there are alternative processes that are cost-competitive
when oil goes above 40-50/bbl.

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken
line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the
audience here today -- "
- from Obama's 2008 Memorial Day address,
aka the "I See Dead People!" speech.
Update: "I am not going to denounce this church [Trinity],
it is not a church worthy of denouncing."
- A clearly rattled Obama, asked by a re****ter if he was
going to criticize comments at his church that finally
forced him to resign from it. This guy is supposed to be
a brilliant orator? See the video at

"Throughout our history, America’s confronted constantly
evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the
lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on
Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation.
Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an
ever-changing world."

"The bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor"? and the guy was supposedly
born in Hawaii.
