A man in rural Kentucky, fed up by the high price for diesel, has decided to trade driving for riding. He'd rather fill up his horse with oats than spend $4.00 a gallon putting fuel in his truck, so he's riding everywhere in protest. This is easier for the gentleman because he's a sign painter and not, you know, an ambulance driver. His argument loses some coherency until he starts to show off that he can multiply by twos. The tired horse was later quoted as saying "I hope to God that the price of beef doesn't suddenly shoot up." [CNN]
