McCain's trend
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.

McCain's trend
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...

Weddings....
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.)

Insomnia sucks
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..

Hummer Gone In Six Months. We Promise
Sooner they get rid of those turds the better their CAFE will be...and more money to spend on cars. A win-win.

Next Honda Hybrid unveiled
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?

McCain's trend
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

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

McCain's trend
That's a horrifying thought, 4 more years of the Repubs...the current 8 year run is 8 too many, IMHO...

August 2008 Sales: General Motors
Hmmm....stale cars, stale cookies?

Duh: Cadillac shelves that whole V12 thing
The problem is, with the 6 middle brands GM has to prop up, Cadillac can't get the investment levels needed to be a full-line world class player. Such is reality.

Duh: Cadillac shelves that whole V12 thing
Yes, but Nissan has 2 international brands with platform/engine sharing...they don't have the burden that GM in NA has of supporting 6 middle brands...

August 2008 Sales: General Motors
I doubt if that's the public...probably Avis/etc buying more Impalas, since the previous W rental queen (Grand Prix) is now out of production...

The Latest Fall Fashions
Was sitting at the light this morning across the street from my local Cadillac store..they had a 1/2 dozen '08 CTSes, a white XLR, a couple STSes, a black STS-v, and a bright red G8 GT rotating on the corner dais... Shweeet.
