I have decided that Broin has been screwing with us this whole time, and he's actually David Sedaris.

So, I get back from a long weekend in Florence, only to find that the internet at our place is out. It's been out for five days now.

Ughhhhh. So many e-mails...


...And we will strike down upon those of Darkness, with great vengeance and Furious Anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

I remember hearing about this vaguely and how people felt bad that some college kid got tased by the police. Watching the video now, he got what he deserved and frankly we should all be thankful police have an intermediate tool at their disposal between talking and shooting a bullet.

Omg my brain hurts now. I could only answer two: one because I'd heard it before, and the other one was the beer question where I answered it by drinking the outstanding liters.

THESE logic puzzles, however, I could do all day!

The easier statement would have been... "french is shite."

Go ahead, make my day.

Last time I saw Yotogi there was a brief political conversation in which he summed up things very well:When watching enough news, and learning more about political members you have to accept one base reality: They're all full of shit"
John Stewart's interview on MSNBC reminded me of him. Stewart has an amazing way of saying "Rachel, you're all full of shit and it's nice to be in comedy and benefit off you".

CAROUSEL IS A LIE! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!

I had no idea that this was a dirty secret behind "cash for clunkers." There are many videos of perfectly good cars getting killed like this, it makes me sick to my stomach.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=atGyvjeWv3wg



I'm normally a pretty reasonable person, but that shit crosses the line. I already didn't vote for anyone who supported the TARP program, now I'm not voting for anyone who voted for the CARS program. (for those of you who don't know, I drive an S80)

Even more painful one to watch, almost brought me to tears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waj2KrKYTZo

IN my area there were dealerships that let their detailers take the C4C cars out for a joyride and even purposely wreck them - Perfectly good working cars!
Yet another example of a retarded government program.

I had no idea it was a secret at all.  I thought it was well known fact that they were junking the motors in Cash For Clunkers cars.  But I'm also a car guy who reads car sites (like Jalopnik and LeftLaneNews) daily.

It's pretty ridiculous considering there were plenty of good cars traded in for that "up to" $4500 credit.  Some cars which probably would have sold for more than $4500 otherwise.

And some that were only worth scrap metal that they took, like my girlfriends '88 Montaro. That had serious head gasket problems (I'm pretty sure it was blown.) That because we were able drive it onto the lot (from a Uhaul trailer) they took.
