I own a 2005 Ford Freestyle wagon that my entire family loves. It is roomy, reasonably powerful and reasonably thrifty for its size. It is big enough to feel "safe" and yet not as big as an SUV. I would love to find a similar car to replace it that does not require a ladder to enter (so my wife's 86 year old mom can…

That sexual pleasure can be enhanced by a luxurious lifestyle was genetically hard wired into humans after the first cave woman discovered she could actually enjoy sex if she got humped while frolicking on a cozy mastodon pelt rug, as opposed to being shagged while lying on a bare rock cave floor accessorized only…

One more reason to avoid watching TV as far as I'm concerned. As if any more were needed.

Makes you wonder: maybe this is how you raise someone to become a "Wolf of Wall Street?"

There's apparently a lot of money to be made being a professional dickhead. Just ask any Congressman. Or Phil Robertson.

There has to be a special place in Hell for Christmas present robbers. I'd pay for tickets to watch.

Hah, and here I thought that such bribes were largely confined to the former Soviet countries, where well to do parents can basically buy their kids university degrees with gifts that ensure that there are always passing grades at exam time. The practice there begins innocently in elementary grades with simple tokens…

We can hope that a "friendly fat finger wave" is part of the entrance ceremony at the gates of Hell, where the people - men mostly - who deny others their human rights, ultimately belong.

Looks like a 746 1/2 to me.

Because they are not going to sell it to anyone who could afford an Escalade? People overseas who want a certain look but not the price? Image.

I love my Navy. Two hundred years of tradition, unhampered by progress.

Played 3 days (or tried to) and contested the purchase with my credit card company. They said the game was the biggest single cause of contests that week. Will never buy another EA title again, sorry.

Public confidence in the impartiality of the Courts is probably at an all time low. I wonder why?

Helluva price to pay for your 45 seconds in the limelight.

OK, this almost made up for the Bush years. Not quite, but close. Tell you what, I'll settle.

I drove a '66 coupe for a couple of years, off and on, back in the mid-'70's and could not get what the pony fever was all about. Mind you, this was a 289 and yes, it was a nice looking car, but did not ride like a sophisticated nor particularly exciting car. I suppose that by then, I had the dreaded foreign car bug…

Who goes to France and then eats at McDonalds? That's what I find really disturbing.

What baffles me (among many issues here) is that the UK authorities did not contact the Italian Consulate about an urgent matter concerning one of their own citizens. The woman's own country and family were thus excluded from having any role, positive or negative, with respect to her horrible situation. I find that…

Where's Don Corleone when you need him? Breaking both legs would be too good for the piece of work that started that site.

I wonder what a somewhat well-worn specimen is worth nowadays? If not a 370Z, perhaps a nice pair of walking shoes?
