Keep in mind that the current administration is “republican” in name only.

My folks used to listen to Paul Harvey in the mornings while they were getting ready for work. Sometimes that would carry over to the car ride to school. “And now ... the rest of the story.” Some propaganda is more subtle than others. 

No. This is not an expression of patriotism in any useful sense. The things that America was meant to stand for—tolerance, liberty, enlightenment—are things that Rudy and his cronies have consistently, abundantly and relentlessly shat upon. The half-man he bends over for on a weekly basis is likely a Russian asset.

Rudy…

Ouch. That Hertz.

Are... are they just fucking with us?

It is a matter of China having enough sense to reign in corporate greed (one benefit of being communist-based with a socialist twist, but I digress) and force local manufacture of goods sold in China. When they can build it there, they do. When it is cheaper or easier to import (like soybeans and pork), they import.…

CP for all the friggin trash in the photos.

I’m not a car guy in the sense of getting my hands dirty or putting too much thought into anything other than their functional purpose as transportation, but cars have a habit of bringing out the spirit of creative people and serving as a backdrop for interesting conversations.

I still sometimes recreate the old Sunday morning lineup of my local NPR station from the archives available for each show. Prairie Home Companion followed by Car Talk at 11, and This American Life at noon. Those three together still sound like weekends as a kid to me.

I don't think I'd buy a Bolt new, but I'm certainly keeping an eye on used prices.

The only TP I allow in my house is Scott’s. The only times I have had a toilet back up is when somebody in the house decided to try something else. It’s also great for septic tanks, no matter what the competitors would have you believe.

When asked for a follow up, his horse replied, "Neigh".

Sit next to them meowing loudly 

In my extensive new car buying experience, I’ve gotten good deals as a repeat customer of a particular salesperson, but just being a repeat customer of a dealership hasn’t meant jack shit. 

ends up is really well said, btw....nowhere near where it starts, i’d wager.

This dude is only second to Jarvanka in terms of being a bald-faced political appointment for a position which he has absolutely no training, qualifications, or aptitude for. He’s quite literally being nominated solely because he lovingly brushed Trump’s flybown ballsack while attempting to excoriate Mueller last week.

That’s not true. Some of us like that Franken was a strong liberal voice on the hill who didn’t sell himself to corporations to the degree others do. He was good at the job. Screw Biden.

Counterpoint: NDT has taught me many things, and Jack Crosbie has not enriched my life in literally any conceivable way.

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Am I the only one here who doesn’t give a flying fuck about flying cars? I mean I am not against looking forward to the next big technological progress but this seems like a futile exercise.
