Liked John McGinley in Platoon, et al. Perhaps he has some advice for his young nephew (Like, "Hey, kid, stop getting drunk and attacking women in cars.").

(First attempt at this post went kablooie; apologies if I end up with two).

Just thought it was interesting that according to his Syracuse player profile, this gentleman's uncle is actor John C. McGinley of Scrubs fame. I even think there is a bit of a resemblance if you can see through the mud and blood.

It can't help that 2015 Volkswagens have been so slow getting to the dealers' lots. Here we are in March, and in Central Florida, anyway, they're just starting to trickle in. A manual GTI is next to impossible to find, and they still don't have the 2015 Sportwagens out as near as I can tell. Given what I assume is the…

This was a highly visible public area. 100 feet from the center of downtown Orlando in broad daylight. Cars everywhere; buildings overlooking the scene. Unmarked FHP is everywhere, which everyone knows.

Hmm. Not reading this as a cop attacking a motorcyclist at all. He should not have driven so close to the bike, but it appeared he was trying park the undercover FHP car next to him when the biker gunned it instead. I don't see a "hit" at all, and clearly if there was any attempt to squash the bike, it would have…

Really about 98% of what is wrong with the world, and America in particular, right now:

What a harrowing story, and what a surprising, immensely satisfying resolution.

I never got the hatred for minivans. I sold cars on weekends for a year or so, and I couldn't begin to count all the families that came in needing a commuter vehicle that could carry two adults, two kids, a dog, and some soccer balls, and the first thing out of their mouths?

"Anything but a minivan EWWW!"

Then they'd…

I read that as, "Had two supercars that weren't that impressive; got a normal-people sporty car that was a lot of fun; draw your own conclusions as to whether supercars are worth it."

Hear, hear. They're from the government. And they're here to help us!

American automakers are the poster child for the proposition that gov't regs can drive better automotive technology. Without requirements like fleet mileage and crash safety, we'd have been driving 9 mpg fiery deathtraps for decades longer than we…

I have a theory. I do not claim it is a good one.

For centuries, hardworking Americans have understood "Tuna /tunafish" to be the canned product consisting of cooked, shredded or chunk(ed?) fish, frequently served mixed with other ingredients in casseroles and so forth. A "tuna salad sandwich," for example.

Increasingly,…

I'm sorry, but that's just hideous. It looks like something a methed-up Pokemon would drive. What happened to Honda's clean, understated design style?

I never thought I'd say this but

"The Ford (RS) is prettier."

You're SO right!

Of course! Thus all the copycat designs that try to look and feel exactly like the Apple products in question are the REAL innovators!

Don't you mean, "Its design will change the marketplace forever, which we will spend listening to the endless whining of the owners of copycat designs trying to convince themselves theirs are better because they have a 'user replaceable battery' and moar megahurtzes yargle bargle etc.?"

Before it was outlawed, banks notoriously used zipcodes / geographical area to "redline" people applying for mortgage loans based on the known white / black neighborhoods.

They could have been doing that.

It is illegal to take race, whether based on "statistics" or otherwise, into account on a loan application. So banks definitely do not have overt lending policies that take race into account.

It's also pretty easy to see where that would fall apart as a logical premise in the first place, given that race is a social…

Which part of "with similar credit histories" was confusing?

So he was expecting ... hot, bloody-in-the-middle ... FISH?

Gack. Probably the way John Galt liked it or something.
