Minnesota native here, now living in Wisconsin, who in addition to my full-time private sector job, works part-time in local government, and is constantly hamstrung by Walker’s machinations.

“Anybody Else For Wisconsin Governor In 2018!”

You need to read P.J. O’Rourke’s account of that investigation. I cannot find a direct link to the original article, but it was collected in Parliament of Whores, so hopefully this link works. Must reading for any Jalop:

Horn said the ongoing Dieselgate scandal was “completely inconsistent with our core values,” and, “We need to make it right with all of you.”

I live right across the street from a Polaris factory in Wisconsin, and there is occasionally one tooling around town, and it sometimes visits a house next to me. I feel like pulling out my Focus ST and issuing a challenge, but methinks that they would not take the bait.

Apparently Bumbles aren’t the only things that bounce.

‘Whereas Ahmed Muhammad, an evidently obstinate-answering student bringing in a homemade “clock” that obviously could be seen by conscientious teachers as a dangerous wired-up bomb-looking contraption (teachers who are told “if you see something, say something!”) gets invited to the White House.’

“I was knocking on the door of the Buffalo Wild Wings when I heard the fighting on the other side.”

Not going to disagree about butter making things better, but if you look closely and read the link, it is actually olive oil. Better for the heart, and quite tasty too.

Necessary disclaimer: I am not condoning how Burt Reynolds treats his girlfriend in that scene!!!! But, I do kind of miss the days when top box office stars, as Burt Reynolds was at the time, were willing to play characters who are complete assholes, and not so worried about their image. When you watch Seventies…

Here’s how you encourage people on the internet to do stupid things.

I wish that I could get into that shade of blue. Looking at the pictures on the configurator, I am surprised that I prefer the white paint; I usually dislike white. But there are a lot of black accents on that car, and the white seems to throw them into sharpest relief.

The full leather Recaros feel quite different, of course. Much more solid. I prefer them that way, but some may prefer the softer feel of the cloth panels.

I have an ST with the full leather Recaros. I would marry them, if I was not already married. If I end up trading it in for an RS, the ST2 package will be mandatory.

I had my morning tea hours ago, and I still had that thought for more than two seconds. As in, I clicked on the story, wondering what the hell Jared was doing with her while she basked in her own personal glory.

And the reality is, he really looks nothing like Jared. Must be a case of the human brain trying to find…

He also flipped up his tie when the henchman Sandor was holding on to it on a Cairo rooftop in The Spy Who Loved Me, sending Sandor plummeting to his death. It fascinates me how people (Moore included) make a big deal about the kick in FYEO while forgetting that he did this just two films earlier.

Sorry, but that is hyperbole, unless you are referring to the “love conquers all” version that was prepared by Universal for television release. That version was never exhibited theatrically in the United States. The differences between the U.S. theatrical version and the director’s cut are much more minor, and not…

“Your ontology is fascinating. And wrong. Fascinatingly wrong.”

Not true of a 2012 Focus. We started having transmission problem on ours (which we had purchased new) at less than 10,000 miles. It went in for multiple transmission repairs, too. To be fair to Ford, they ended up giving us a free extended warranty to help compensate. We ended up trading it in after it crossed 40,000.…

The irony is that in cases like this, the First Amendment is actually working as advertised. Speech vs. speech, action & reaction, with no government involvement whatsoever. I wish that people would understand that freedom of speech does not mean freedom to make a monologue in the public sphere with no possibility of…
