@Chaparral: I was under the impression that most blue-collar workers were getting pink-slipped and shown the door. And even if they are getting buyouts, I'd imagine they're fairly meager compared to what the white-collar workers are getting.

@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: Wrong about what? Because the article says that they plan to eliminate the positions using buyouts and retirement incentives. Or do the blue-collar positions get those benefits as well?

@Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: The porn industry is always growing. I'm not sure there's room in it for Max Mosley, but they always need new people.

@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: Because you still need to pay the bills.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: Because the white collar employees don't get fired, they get buyouts and retirement incentives.

@I_hate_RX350s: Yeah, I was definitely not surprised to find that someone did this on a C4 Corvette.

@wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Yeah, road maintenance is overrated.

@pj134: Anyone who really understands what's going on and the realities of maintaining the Internet will realize that this is a good idea. If you've already got a road ripped up, installing conduit to give you the capacity for more fiber is a really small deal.

@Alfisted: Main data trunks like those that'd be installed under highways can't possibly be replaced with wireless connections.

@benrobNU: Barack Obama is originally from Hawaii. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at here. And Triborough accuses Obama of "Chicago-style" corruption in every damn post. It's getting old.

@benrobNU: Yeah, and it didn't happen in the presidential election. Obama got elected fairly, but the sour grapes conservatives can't get over it and move on.

@Triborough: What is a "Chicago style" campaigh contribution? Is it different than a normal campaign contribution?

@TurboBrick: He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't with these morons.

@Ambiguously Fuzzy Plushroom: Funny how all the major population centers are blue.

@Graverobber: Convertibles always look pretty terrible to me with the top down. Now let's see (hopefully) a hardtop coupe version, and then we can talk.

@Sloop_John_B: But $38k is cool for a Ford Taurus, right?

I'm not a fan of convertibles on the whole, but if we got a coupe version of this, I'd be a fan. The IS sedan (and especially the IS-F) are pretty nice, too.

@Triborough: For some reason, I don't think you're talented enough to get in on any art, let alone modern art.

@MissingPieces: Wait, what? I don't get it.

@Triborough: The people who say Barack HUSSEIN Obama are the kind of people who believe he's part of some Arab conspiracy to invade the United States.
