I’m Here, I’m Here

I’ve been quiet on the FM.com front for the last month or so while I spend the majority of my non-fathering/non-radio time working on Fuzz Martin Media projects. Most of my time is spent taking photos, editing photos, and working out pricing/packaging details.

I want to be up and running with enough time to grab some of the 2009 senior portrait work. :) Hooray for capitalism and entrepreneurship.

Hope they had Comp

National Speed Limit idea = waste of time and money

Friday, July 4th, 2008 by Claude

Is this guy serious?  Imposing any type of speed limit to “save American’s money on fuel costs” is just stupid.  First, you can’t regulate what speed people travel at.  Second, more fuel is expended slowing and accelerating in rush-hour gridlock, not traveling at 75 down I-80 through Nebraska.

This guy is trying to make a name for himself, and idiot or attempting to divert the issue of rising fuel prices by finding ways to put the onus on drivers.

From CNN.com:

An influential Republican senator suggested Thursday that Congress might want to consider reimposing a national speed limit to save gasoline and possibly ease fuel prices.

Sen. John Warner has asked the Energy Department at what speeds vehicles would be most fuel efficient.

Sen. John Warner, R-Virginia, asked Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman to look into what speed limit would provide optimum gasoline efficiency given current technology. He said he wants to know if the administration might support efforts in Congress to require a lower speed limit.
