The amusing thing about the 8-track is that it was designed originally for Learjets, then popularized by Ford because Henry Ford II was friends with Bill Lear.

The real solution is to treat TSA officers as skilled professionals, with pay and benefits, and job security and level of respect commensurate with the importance of the job.

Unless you’re only talking about sports, can we slot Scientology in between the NCAA and F1?

The stats are interesting — millennials’ listenership for programmed radio is up over preceding generations, but only in the car. Once they get out of the car, 80+ percent are listening to Spotify/Pandora/etc.

Hell, given the consolidation of radio ownership and programming in the US they could just auction off Button 1 to the local iHeartRadio (formerly Clear Channel) alt/country/classic/whatever station, and the song playing would barely skip a beat.

Played this video for my 10 year-old son. “That sound just makes you smile.”

Presumption of innocence isn’t mentioned in the Constitution. Rather, it’s a common law concept going back to the Romans that was first formalized in the U.S. legal system in 1895 by the Supreme Court’s decision in Coffin v. United States.

Regardless of that technicality, the concept only says that the state may not…

I am looking out the window of the Renaissance Center as I write this: You don’t want to work in the auto industry.

Gawker headline missed opportunity: "FLORIDA MAN VISITS HAWAII, LIGHTS TONS OF KEROSENE ON FIRE, THREATENS TO FIGHT CHINA"

And if there's anything a Dallas city official knows, it's how to react to someone getting shot in the gut.

Just one in five body shops in the US is expected to be able to repair an aluminum-bodied vehicle by the end of 2015. When you realize that the cost of getting the shop equipped (not including staff training) can be in the area of $100,000, and that you're setting aside dedicated floor space just for a tiny number of…

Sitting here in ZIP Code 48243, I shook my head with wry appreciation.

Careful on the "public money" thing when it comes to this stadium. It's not City of Detroit tax dollars behind the deal, it's Downtown Development Authority increment financing — which is purely new business property tax capture. This isn't money that could have legally gone to cops, firefighters, etc. anyway, and…

In seven years or so, I will find my son the closest equivalent to my first car, a 1980 Buick Century. 0-60 timed with a sundial, still smelled faintly of my grandfather's cigars, velour bench seats tailor-made for extracurriculars, seemingly carved from a single block of Detroit steel. Took out saplings, fences and a…

Perfectly legal. Nothing to see here. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Let's not forget that Dez Bryant was 15 yards out onto the field after that flag, without his helmet, screaming at the refs. Regardless of the PI flag, should have been 15 yards unsportsmanlike.

I'm a Michigan driver and got a ticket in Tennessee back in the '90s. Cop tagged me doing 91 in a 65 at something like 3 in the morning on an interstate, I was Mr. Polite Driver and he wrote me down for 74 in a 65, his explanation was "Unless you're 10 miles an hour over the limit, we don't report a moving violation…

Not to sidetrack the deserved mocking of the A's fanbase, but at least they're not Cleveland "fans." Stayed in at least potential contention almost all season, ended up just three games out of the wildcard and averaged 42.4 percent home attendance.

Or, for that matter, Seattle with their finish just one game out but 53…

Klinsmann's got three jobs: Win USMNT games, build better American soccer players and grow soccer in America.
