Whenever I see video of some Mujahideen or ISIS fighter chatting away on a walkie-talkie or a cell phone, I wonder why we haven’t deployed some small, cheap weapon that could loiter around, get the GPS coordinates and then home in on those transmissions and terminate the conversation.

I’d just stick close to Keith Richards.

I saw this happen once in Maine when some teens took daddy’s brand new Sliverado our for an illegal romp on the beach. I happened to have a fresh, cold sixpack with me so I got to sit down and watch the whole show.

The map also shows it’s Canada that needs an impressive icebreaker fleet.

Folding in the cost of our repeated oil wars would certainly get the message across.

Trump is on record saying he wants to turn the U.S. military into an extremely well-armed gang of thieves, invade other countries and take their oil. And that we’re going to start “winning” wars again.

A new war would do just that, and Trump has promised us all we’re going to start winning again.

How many trillion-dollar wars do we face in the future to maintain the status quo car culture of California? Or the nation?

My ‘65 Coronet got “booted” by Mother Nature once during a Maine winter when an evening downpour was followed by a cold snap. When I got up to go to work the car was locked in ice up to the bottom edge of the wheel rims. Powering out threatened the transmission and U-joints, so I wound up boiling several tubs of water…

I use a push broom to clear off my SUV, including the roof. Easy.

In the 1960s when I was a kid I remember seeing scores of Liberty ships stashed in the Hudson River. There also used to be a stash of carriers and battleships at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

True. The wage and price freezes enacted during World War II prevented companies from paying more for better employees, so they offered medical coverage instead. Before that you paid your doctor in chickens.

A buddy of mine bought a Pinto when it first came out. He got rear-ended sitting at a light on a rainy night in Philly and he and his girlfriend were drenched in gasoline. But it didn’t ignite.

It’s very difficult to idiot-proof a car. There’s been a zillion roll-overs of SUVs because drivers who never drove a truck before and expected them to handle like passenger cars.

My ex-wife had a Pinto wagon and I agree, especially since she belonged to the wait-’till-the-light-goes-on school of automotive maintenance. One sub-zero morning her Pinto was the only one in our lot that turned over and jumped three other cars. She ultimately traded it in on a Pacer, and traded that in on a Le Car,…

This is the prime reason I make sure all my windows are clear before setting out -- so you can see idiots like this and get out of their way.

HMS Westcott actually rammed U-581, which explains why it lies in two pieces. See:

I hope they’re they unit picked for the next clusterfark operation to get the “GO” order from this president.

This is a re-run of the hit 1950s series Quemoy and Matsu.
