Today's Wicked Awesome Comeback comes from Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. Doesn't matter whom he said it to, or why (OK, it was to Big Auto because they're raising a stink about fuel efficiency) -- it's applicable in all kinds of situations:
"I think your position is yesterday forever."

Does "Sen-NAAhhhh-ToR, Bah-RON Day-vees" parade around in black suit with tails and one of those flat round black hats.
GM's Volt, ready in 2010, gets 150 mph.

Gesticulating wildly, POTUS described how cows expel large amounts of methane by burping, not the alternative direction. "Believe, I know the business end of a cow and where that gas comes from, and I'll be talking with the American Cattlemen's Association when I get back home."
On another greenhouse gas issue the POTUS was much more subdued and reflective. "We know we need to do something about the border migration issue and I really want a clean bill on this ... but can't we like reduce the consumption of all those frijoles? I mean if they do you like they do me, it might be a step in the right direction."
No word about the CAFE standards for car fuel economy.

There is a deficit of efficiency in nearly every aspect of the average American life. And since our society is so addicted to and dependent upon cars, they seem a likely choice for increasing efficiency. After all, we know it can be done, it's just a matter of Big Auto stopping all the whining and actually listening to the consumer instead of trying to force what it wants down the consumer's throat.
And as a consumer, I want a car that gets 100+ miles per gallon. Without having to be a hypermiler.
Also, Dorgan = wicked awesome. I should know, I voted for him.
