“Buy a VW now” is the dumbest advice ever. We’re not talking about Ferraris here. The supply is measured against cars in its class, not a diminishing supply of VWs. Also, keep in mind the investment adage, “Never try to catch a falling knife.” You can’t possibly know where the value is headed other than down. There is

The Tylenol solution would be for VW to get in front of this by offering to take back the cars at purchase price or allow termination of leases. But that won’t happen.

Maybe it’s changing but the simple fact that everyone overlooks with cable is this: The relationship that the cable companies have historically worried about and catered to is not the consumer, it is the government agencies that approve their contracts. That’s why customer service has been so bad with cable companies.

McKinley didn’t get a chance to do much as president and that’s too bad. By politician standards, he was a pretty good guy. He was a moderate Republican protectionist (things were different then) and set the stage for the progressives who followed. He served bravely in the Civil War, coming under heavy fire at

The storm destroyed the Mississippi coast with sustained winds of up to 125 mph. It is the third most powerful storm on record ever to make landfall in the United States. Even if New Orleans had survived untouched, this would have been one of the worst disasters in US history.

Another shoe will drop. They were running out of clock on these guys and now they’ll flip them to nail Blatter and the other executive committee members. No foreign fat cat wants to spend time in US prisons. It will probably take a year but they’ll get Blatter.

You are a fine example of the Minnesotans we know and love.

Fort Lauderdale.

This is a good observation. Florida and Texas both have private rail initiatives (Miami-Orlando and Dallas-Houston). It will be interesting to watch their results. It would be better to focus on the most populous parts of the country piecemeal rather than throw money at an updated national rail grid that is simply not

You type on the stairs? Also, it’s esprit, Chip.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. State schools are just as hard as the Ivies.

“Yep, disgusting.” That was your entire nuanced comment before you got started throwing around contradictory statements that you clearly don’t understand. Keep fighting the fight, Lord Protector of Humanity.

Zoom. Have a nice day, Captain America.

T-shirt outrage. This is the hill you choose to die on?

I think you should change your name to ClosetFullofReeboks.

How’d that US boycott of the 1980 Russian Olympics work out? Forget about boycotting the World Cup. Boycott the sponsors. It’s always about the money. Hurt them there.

Interesting. This is very recent, so it would make sense that the advice given to her would be of the better to be safer than safe variety. The no grapefruit thing was an eye-opener too. Apparently it interferes with the immunosuppressants. (Please correct me if I have my info tangled up.)
