Some Bay Areans celebrate whenever there's major news -- just more reason to push their own political platform, as seen here in SF Gate's 2 Cents. My favorite is Michele Simon's response: "No. How sad that this is the main concern. Why not ask how we could better spend those millions of dollars on public transit instead of repairing a system that perpetuates driving and global warming? Was the irony that the truck was carrying gasoline lost on everyone?"

Michele, sweetheart, just answer the question and then you'll get your Tofutti Cutie.
