OT, sure. But “feverishly pounding a square peg in a round hole” is perfect. Ford did a bunch of retroish concepts around then and they all had something going for them, but then they made one that was completely wrong. 

Donald has of course insisted on exactly the opposite from his earlier campaign through to today: The world was laughing at the US and then gained respect during his maladministration. From world leaders to popular opinion the reality was the exact opposite with the exception of Putin/Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Only cult members in DC call it anything other than “National.”

After his inauguration speech he turned to Hillary Clinton and said “That’s some weird shit.”

Not “the government”. It’s only one party.

Barclays Center is a cheap barn with some really ugly Coreten steel strips  attempting to disguise it. But maybe Elmo should have just gone with the Corten in the first place.

Fenton, Louisiana is a unique place, with a law allows the mayor to be a judge and the village.

It’s still a Toyota. Don’t count on it. 

Prelude and Prologue are stupid names. Prelude and Prologue to what? And what was so wrong with Vamos Hobio Travel Dog anyway?

I have to agree on the big SUV coupes. I remember how shocked I was when I saw my first BMW 6 one. Enormous tall extremely expensive low mpg vehicle with huge wheels just like any huge luxury SUV, except with the cargo area cubic feet cut by a third for no reason in a way that precludes one of the actual useful uses…

No Auto switch for the lights? Even 1990's Malibus had that. The Auto lights and dimming on my Subaru works perfectly. 

I don’t know what happened but the earlier interestingly quirky staff writers seem to have all left about the same time a couple years ago.
