Little Old Lady With a Prius: A Bad Headline

So yesterday in Minnesota the State Legislature voted to override Governor Pawlenty’s veto of a gas tax. The result: Minnesota’s first gas tax hike in 20 years … . and bad headline writing.Today’s Saint Paul Pioneer Press featured a chart to show the gas tax impact. It created three categories of drivers, labeling them as:1. Gas Guzzler2. Middle of the Road3. Little Old Lady with a Prius.Enough with the cute, old labels. Why not call the Middle of the Road’ person, a ‘big, middle-aged person.’ It wouldn’t cross the mind.
