“Times are so tough nowadays” bray the Trumpies, as they tow the boat they couldn’t afford behind the gigantic truck they didn’t need and park it in front of the house they opted to buy in the town that was built entirely around the one industry that’s obsolete now. “Pop-Pop raised twelve kids on his salary at the ol’…

Maybe. But isn’t it more likely that Donnie is setting things up for Lada?

This guy is such a cunt.

The Russians understand war, we understand managing conflicts to unsatisfactory outcomes. War is killing until the survivors give it up. The Russians will change the facts on the ground while we stammer at the UN.

I don’t have a big issue with this (other than increased militarization that is rarely ever good for anyone, anywhere).

It’s not surprising they want military hardware since these warmongering Iranians have the nerve to surround themselves with several dozen peace loving American military bases while the neocon mental giants who brought you Iraq, Afghanistan and ISIS have not spared any effort lobbying for a new war with Iran as…

This dude made Top Gear less fun for me, all the godamm time. Not neccesarily because of his performance on Top Gear, but knowing he was a piece of shit (news flash: he’s been a piece of shit for a long time, this isn’t a recent thing.)

He’s long been more than just a car show personality. He’s a journalist first, and has had columns in right wing papers like the Telegraph for a long time. He didn’t escape from his paddock. This is what he does and who he is.

Well in a nutshell, there are 4 problems:

How many Presidents would’ve concocted baloney intelligence? Google “Downing Street Memo”.

I’m a lifelong sailor (really, not just internet bullshit). Shit goes south really quick on the ocean. It’s hard to explain to people but it’s never just one thing that happens. Fuel, power, wind, ocean currents, weird waves, darkness... it all combines to make things that on land are simple problems, turn into…

Did I make it before Buzz’s insane anti-Obama rant?

I wouldn’t call them compliance vehicles; that’s more like the Toyota RAV4 EV (the poorman’s Tesla). I ran my calculations for replacing my wife’s 07 Lexus Rx400h with the new GM Volt at $2.50 for 87 octane and I came up with an annual savings of $700 in fuel costs and 21 hours saved by not having to stop at the gas…

I thought this was pretty cool, even though I don’t agree with his policies or politics and generally consider Barack Hussein Obama to be a total fucking ass-clown, and a failure.

Some old Rolls Royce

Alright, here we go!

I told Doug he may need to go older on this one, maybe ‘50s or ‘60s. But what’s interesting enough to draw an audience for a whole year? This is my top suggestion at the moment:

Something French. I vote Citroen SM or C6. I know the C6 was covered a bit here but learning about living with something like that would be great. But the SM is just.... hnnnng. Plus weird French cars, vintage ones at that, will have endless blog fodder.

I’d vote for something totally weird... like a Citroen DS
