China can’t “call in the debt”... or it’d be stupid to do so. Bonds have a term. If you collect before the term is up, you lose a crapton of money. The biggest chunk of the national debt is money we owe to ourselves, for other parts of the government, and not China. China and Japan both hold about 1.25 trillion in our…

They are fucked, if they ever launch one of these.

I’d have to bone up on the subject before I debate you, but I don’t think “increasingly belligerent Iran” is accurate. There was international pressure that stepped up when Iran was on the verge of getting “the bomb”, but that’s not 1:1 with Iran being more warlike.

Three beers my ass. That’s an aspirational BAC.

Why is it that the interior of every private plane, no matter how expensive, ends up looking like a 1985 Starcraft van conversion?

Continuing a two decade tradition of Nissan’s signature “not quite right” styling. They should just clean sheet the next generation and go in a completely different direction, because this one isn’t working. The last great looking Nissan was probably the 5th gen Maxima.

There’s two main generations of “American luxury;”

The solution to disproportionate responses by the government to persons of color is not to call for disproportionate responses by the government to white people. It’s to stop disproportionate responses against persons of color.

Or like a cross to a Vampire. “The power of Pork compels you!”

Gluten intolerant? No?

I found her CDL Instructor.....

Seriously, all I could think was:

Damn, this guy must be on a whole assortment of government watch lists.

This looks so much like a rejected Amy Schumer sketch that I expect my wife to make me watch it later.

We used to play this chicken game with the Russians back in the ‘80’s. We were careful to turn off radars and to aim weapons down to the deck to preclude any excuse for a “misunderstanding” and I thought both sides, at least the men on the ships if not the men back at headquarters, pretty-well understood the game. I…

Well I think there is really only one answer. The e39 M5. Pick it up and grab a $400 Dinan flash to remove the top speed limiter, and it should be good for ~180mph. Once you have it paid off you can slowly build it up to a reliable 600hp+ if you stick with Dinan. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-M5-Bas…
