We disagree on the “destroy” part, but we do agree that it’s high time for her to rest and let new hands take the wheel.

Maybe it’s my social circle, but all the gay men I’ve ever known were (and are) absolutely and unabashedly masculine. They may not have done lumberjacky stuff like cut down forests or build log cabins with just a pocketknife and a pair of pliers, but they’re all most definitely men. Some stuff transcends sexual…

She can’t “destroy her legacy” - not by being ill and having a rough go of it, or by becoming so deficient in mental acuity as to be an ineffective senator. She’s done sooooo much good for sooooo long. Let’s not forget that.

I can’t wait. Gimme that jab!

Joe Manchin is as dumb as a bag of hammers. The best way to deal with him is to ignore him.

On the reclining thing, I always turn around and ask the person behind me if it would be bothersome for me to do so, ]before[ I hit the button. It makes it so much easier for everyone. So much about flying is depersonalizing - you feel like cattle: anonymous, ignored. Just acknowledging that there are other people…

I do not understand the Japanese fascination with making hydrogen vehicles happen. I just don’t get it. It’s not efficient or practical.

most people don’t even see motorcycles

The Tesla electric semi is even more of a unicorn.

You have crystalline powers of observation and assessment.

This is the answer.

I have a feeling that some handsome lobbyist for a gun manufacturer winked at her or something and she got herself a side piece out of the legislative deal-making.... skip going home for a few weekends, get a ride from Beau Texas-pants to Martha’s Vineyard on the company jet, knock boots and eat lobsters, fly back to…

I used to feel similarly to your devil’s advocate position, but I have reversed my stance over the past three years. I do better at home - I prefer the absence of interruptions, the freedom to set my own schedule, to cook my own healthy meals for lunch in my own kitchen, the savings I get in gasoline and parking, the…

For such a presumably smart guy, he’s actually quite a simpleton.

For me it’s when people bring on bags that are way too big to fit in the overhead compartments... either they can’t lift the bag high enough or it’s too fat to squeeze through the hatch door. I firmly believe that if we just dropped baggage fees we’d have a lot more room overhead and less of an issue with people…

I’m happy for her. It’s fine. I don’t think is going to change much at SI, but it’s a cool idea from an editorial standpoint and she seems to be invested in what she could do with it, so ... it’s fine.

The Avenir sedan concept was their last best hope - they went for a cheap, underpowered wagon instead.

Buick is the oldest living marque in the US - I think the “old people” characterization is because of that. It was the middle car between Pontiac and Cadillac. It was a middle-income car for people back when cars were statement pieces about your economic power and position in the community - it’s not the same now. 

I love my 2015 LaCrosse. (I’m a total Buick fan.) My dealership called me the other day to get into the showroom for a new Buick, and I told them that Buick doesn’t make a car I want to buy anymore. I want a spacious and comfortable sedan - What the Electra was - but I can’t get them from Buick. I’m stuck with…

I want to visit the Iowa at some point. If you’re in San Diego, go visit the Midway if you haven’t already.
