Yes, these are very polarized times...it's only going to get worse over the next 2 months...

Those are hilarious..someone in Denver has a Suburban with the plate I want --- "GEEKSTA".

Yeah, at least the later US ones had the flush headlights.

Yes... there are many parts of the country where the good blue collar jobs are gone, all that is left are McJobs at McDonalds and Wal-F*ck. People that have little education and marketable skills are screwed if they can't leave those areas... I've seen it first hand in the small towns and rural areas of Ohio where I'm from originally. It's sad..the malaise on the people of those areas. Without smarts, a few college degrees, marketable skills and the mobility to go to large metro areas, I'd be dead in the water like many people (some relatives) from that world if I had stayed there. I realized when I was young that there was no way I could have a good six-figure income staying in Podunk.

He must have..there is a lot of fake BS about him out the net, sadly.

Yes...and it's a Honda...personally, I'd much rather drive a Honda than be a sheep in a Toyota... I've long respected Honda for their engineering, their engines, and how their cars generally drive nicer than the average appliance.

Well, I do love BMWs, M-Bs, and triple mocha lattes, and enjoy dining out at trendy restaurants.. By the way, I saw a goregous dark blue 560SEC for sale today..very clean. My sister would have another one, but doesn't have enough garage space.

It does strike me as odd that the Mustang, Camaro, and many other cars in recent decades have had convertibles tooled up, but not hardtops--since with the convertible, alot of the engineering would be the same as for a hardtop, I would think--the reinforcement, the side glass, the shortened B-pillar, etc. I guess they couldn't figure out the ROI for hardtops. That said, I'm leaning towards a hardtop convertible for my convertible fix...you get both a slick 2dr ht and a convertible. Not many choices that are RWD w/ a manual.

What's wrong with yuppies? We need love too... (though I'm really more of a techie elitist with yuppie tastes).

Well, I think Bush is only responsible for 10%. Cheney and Rove are responsible for the other 90%.. (Though I think the big evil of the times is Putin..)

I see nothing wrong with gun control...the need for a 'well armed militia' as outlined in the 2nd amendment may have made sense in frontier times, but has no relevance today....look at the # of murders and other gun crimes in the US per capita compared to other modern nations like Canada that have more restrictive laws... I've never owned a gun, have no reason for one.

The political right is infinitely more disgusting, with their fake moralizing, fake 'values', dominated by a group of fanatical bible thumpers that have little regard for separation of church and state--they push for garbage like 'intelligent design' in schools, they interfere with scientific research, racists, hypocrites, war mongers, gun fetishists, etc... I don't believe the right gives a damn about the 'little guy'...they only answer to corrupt big corporations of the oil industry, defense contractors, etc... I could go on and on, but I despise the 'conservative' bull$h! that has been so dominant in America in the last few decades. What's wrong with Ted Kennedy or MLK? For an immigrant you have a twisted view of the US...

I always enjoy them...I have one to go to in Colorado next month. As long as they aren't outdoors in August, I'm usually fine.. (I went to two 10 years ago that were in hot, humid places--Chicago and Buffalo--in August...ugh.)

Well, they are a bunch of hypocrites, I wouldn't have expected anything less...

Yeah, I'm bad about all of those...I have a TV in the bedroom, and usually lie down and read for a couple hours before going to sleep, or surf the web while watching the Daily Show, or South Park reruns, or BBC News... normally, I never have a problem going to sleep within a 1/2 hour of taking my pills, but last night was difficult..finally went to sleep at about 4am after taking a swim and sitting on the bedroom patio and counting stars..

Sooner they get rid of those turds the better their CAFE will be...and more money to spend on cars. A win-win.

Went to lunch and drove around a bit through the neighborhood one major street below mine..saw some oldies--white '60/61 Falcon 2dr, clean, pale blue '64 or so Valiant 2dr sedan, clean, and a baby blue '75 Olds 88 convertible, very clean.

The front has a strong family resemblance to the Clarity. It's ultramodern/futuristic and high tech. The question is, can it get the mindshare that the Pious gets now?

Yes...we know he was tortured and held prisoner...he constantly talks about it. BFD. It happened a long time ago, and is irrelevant to his leadership potential...(I wonder if that experience has made his legendary temper worse). I know a lot of people here in AZ that are sick to death of hearing his schtick over and over and over...

Saw a new Hyundai Elantra towing a tiny 2 wheeled stake bed trailer. Don't know why, just looked hilarious

McCain should have picked him...he's more qualified than Palin.

I saw Obama was in my old hometown yesterday....New Philadelphia, Ohio. Cool.

I'm thinking about work some also..starting a new gig Monday. Anticipation. New environment, new commute, new challenges. Twittering.

Took a swim. Sat by the pool counting stars...84 degrees out. Nice quiet night..should be able to sleep, can't. Dogs are sleeping. House is quiet. 'hood is quiet.

Hex by Bark Psychosis. The middle of the night is a great time for ambient.
