There seems to be a consensus among XJ fans that the best looking vintage XJ was the Series III version. That update was done by Pininfarina and it's masterful.

It's so charming to watch those on the political left when they find out that their house organs don't know shit from Shinola and will slant stories to suit their prewritten agenda. Cf. Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, as described by the late Michael Crichton: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveit…

Robert Reich, you mean the guy who's getting paid almost a quarter of a million dollars to teach a single course? Tell me about income inequality. Gee, with that kind of pay one could endow some kind of scholarship fund to help kids pay tuition that pays rich professors, doncha think? This is a car site. Reich…

The only field that Chomsky has any training in is linguistics, not economics. Anyhow, I try to avoid Jews who cravenly seek acceptance from those who hate Jews. Chomsky's upset that his parents gave him a Hebrew name and he's been rebelling ever since.

You have children?

What right do you have to say how someone should use their money? If they want to give it to someone that's their business, not yours. You going to start groups that receive charitable donations? Have you graduated from college yet?

"The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit" - Samuel Gompers, father of the American labor movement and head of the American Federation of Labor. If you put people over profits, you're going to have a lot of hungry people.

Ever run even a small business?

Property rights predate government. Those governmental institutions don't give you those rights, they are established to protect preexisting rights. You obviously are one of those "you didn't build that" folks. Well let's do a thought experiment. You have two businesses operating in the same industry, located in the…

If the money was earned through dividends then it's been taxed more than once, first as corporate profits and then as personal income.

There's no such thing as "public money". It's all taken (at the threat of jail) from taxpayers.

I once got pulled over in on my way back from the Chicago Auto Show. I was doing 79 late at night and said to the Michigan State Police trooper, "This is Michigan, I was doing less than 80." He replied, "I know, but you were inbound just over the state line. If you were outbound with Michigan plates I never would have…

It takes some manhood to fill the back seats of that minivan.

At least he didn't shoot it.

Ah, but the official Detroit ice cream float is a Boston Cooler: Vernor's ginger ale with vanilla ice cream. The nectar of the gods. Named, btw, after the ritzy Boston-Edison district of Detroit, not Boston the city.

Thank you. It's gratifying that people like my work.

There was a Jewish engineer working for the Army Tank Command in suburban Detroit that was working on a project to improve the armor on Humvees and other light vehicles in the mid to late 1990s. The project would have saved American lives later in Iraq but the engineer was the object of a false accusation of being a…

You do realize that there indeed was indeed an organize effort by the Soviet Union to infiltrate the American government, don't you? Senator McCarthy damaged a good cause with his exaggerations but the Rosenbergs were guilty as sin and Alger Hiss was a spy. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/veno… I do have to wonder if…

The municipality has an unfair advantage in that they don't have to pay taxes. The convenience store owner has a strong point, the politicians and public employees are using taxes collected from the private sector to unfairly compete with that private sector. Also, is anyone naive enough to thing that the city will…

Gov. Snyder has already proposed raising the tax on road fuels to raise the billion dollars or so that it will take to start fixing the roads in Michigan but there's already work being doen. The orange barrels are up all around Oakland county. They're rebuilding parts of Evergreen, Ten Mile Road and in a couple of…
