I strongly disagree that the "nastiest stuff comes from the right" but your reference to Ted Kennedy reminds me of the time when the Kennedy children had to tell the elderly Rose Kennedy (the Matriarch of the Kennedy clan) that Jackie O had died. Finally, one of the children got up enough nerve and told Rose that…

Good stuff....great photography! I hope they're securely tethered.

It's often said that at 100 mph an F1 car could be turned upside down (like driving on the ceiling) and it would have enough down-force to stick. I've submitted that challenge to the Mythbusters but I haven't seen it yet. I wish someone could demonstrate that and not just in a wind tunnel or with a scale (model) F1…

A single payer system sounds wonderful. We've all seen how well government manages things such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, the Postal Service, their speculative 'investments' in green technology, the national debt and the cluster f#*k known as obamacare to name a few. For the most…

The reviewer seems to have a 'thing' for and a fixation on "hot" young boys....nuff said.

As an avid, amateur road racer I’m a fan of Formula 1 but I’m often disgusted with the direction F1 is taking. Despite the stated goal to make team participation less expensive (to promote a wider spectrum of participants) they constantly impose massive technical changes which are incredibly expensive to design and…

Very cool....kind of a merging of era's. This classic Ferrari powered hydroplane looks great, runs great and sounds wonderful. A gorgeous boat! As a kid I used to watch the big hydroplanes run in the Gold Cup in Detroit. The sound of those big Rolls-Royce and Allison engines (almost loping across the water) was like…

I respect your opinion but I don't feel the products or the message are "unfortunate." To the contrary, I appreciate the humor and the spot-on point being made. I bought a couple of these scroogled products. My first two choices were already out of stock so apparently it's a popular product line and theme with many.

Some great cars and color choices! Life would be boring indeed if we all liked the same color. I'm still partial to the Magnetic Red Metallic II paint on my Corvette C6 but I did see the new C7 in their Lime Rock Green and it's awesome. I've never been a big fan of exposed carbon fiber but here's a blue colored…

Good stuff! As reference for certain historically-based graphics projects I used to do I've got a nice collection of old advertising images, recruiting and patriotic posters and entertainment images. There are some tremendous, online resources for finding and viewing these beautiful works of art. Amongst other…

Obviously, public transportation is more apt to work in major urban centers. To use public transportation you must be willing to wait, adapt your schedule to someone else’s and it helps to have a ‘cattle-car’ mentality. I’m not opposed to mass transit where it’s widely and voluntarily utilized and when it makes…

Good stuff! Manning the rails on the bow during a topside 'Crazy Ivan' looks like fun.

What a surprise....obama (and the obama regime) say one thing while doing the opposite. The overwhelming majority of laws affecting our day-to-day lives are simply imposed by legions of government bureaucrats without any public debate or vote. International treaties don't have the sex appeal of major legislation…

So many times our Country allows things which other countries wouldn't dream of doing. We're often our own worst enemy and we're arrogant to think that it's OK (hey, we're 'progressive'). To allow Russia to construct these monitoring stations on US soil "to improve relations" is ludicrous. It's a bad idea on its own…

I agree, the government does whatever they deem necessary to protect and enhance their power base. Perhaps the most egregious example was when the obama regime seized General Motors. Traditional bankruptcy laws would have provided for the company's reorganization but that would have subjected existing labor contracts…

A tragic, needless incident.....my sympathies to the victim, his family and friends. It might be impossible to 'monitor' the entire course but you'd think the organizers would be able to do something to prevent this sort of thing. I hope those responsible are found and prosecuted but I rather doubt that'll happen.…

Not to worry, the purely domestic monetary transactions (over a certain dollar amount and transactions 'of interest') are already monitored, archived and analyzed by our all-intrusive government. Information is power and the regime seeks to control and dictate every aspect of how we live. On so many levels the…

I enjoy train travel and prefer it to flying whenever possible. The physical design of the car looks great, I like the 'private enterprise' concept and kudos to Starbucks for capitalizing on the traveling captive market. The main drawback for me is I'm not a Starbucks fan. Notwithstanding their high prices and their…

I don't want to rent anything. Being forced into a rental contract for your car battery....how lame is that? The simple answer (barring universal adoption of such practices) is to take your business elsewhere. I race a modified Corvette C6. Amongst many other mods I put a different engine in the car during the first…

As with virtually all automotive insurance policies, the trailer was likely insured for Actual Cash Value (ACV)....its depreciated value. The claim for this "completely insured" trailer will likely pay out enough money to replace it with a used, open, single-car U-Haul trailer. It sucks the trailer was stolen but I'm…
