Prince Charles continues to wine...

Ugh... the environmental movement is getting out of control. I know everyone loves Priuses (Priusees? Priusiy? Octopussy?) and that the ozone layer is dying (or trying to get away from Australia, depending on your point of view), and that Al Gore wants to keep you from destroying his second-greatest invention, the enivornment. But I mean really... a car that runs on wine? Well at least it's English wine so it's probably pretty close to petroleum anyways. Does a country which invented blood pudding stand a chance a making drinkable wine? Even hobos wont brown bag it.

He's really doing his part though by running his car on grapes. A car he drives only 300 miles a year. Maybe next time though when he decides to fly to the United States and prove that he has some semblance of power on the world stage he might take a hot air balloon, instead of a private jumbo jet that probably has 20 people on it. Perhaps this is his way of proving English royalty are in touch with the people (or at least those that can afford to convert their Aston Martin's to use bioethanol fuel). Wonder if he gets a tax rebate for that?

Bottom line though, he should stop putting the wine in his car and start drinking it to make his wife, Camila, more attractive to him or better yet give it to me so everytime I see her on TV I wouldn't wince. I wish I could articulate in written word the feeling of my stomach contents escaping and running away to hide in a dark corner.
