Washington Crippled By Crazy Trucker Protest

Monday, April 28th, 2008


It may look like common D.C. traffic, but all those honking trucks around the Capitol today are actually part of a Ron Paul trucker protest because diesel costs like $5 a gallon and the truckers are all going broke, so they want John McCain to make diesel free, and he said okay because he is also a poor trucker. Fuel riots, food rationing, people thrown out of their homes by the millions … who knew 2008 would be so exciting? [Associated Press]
