The fact that this country takes their marching orders from the corrupt and out-of-touch Catholic church is laughable. They lost any moral high ground or credibility when their mass grave of dead and forgotten babies was discovered last year. The fact that any Catholic official can make any claim to morality with a…

The first time I saw one of these I couldn't figure out what it was. Then I was astonished that anyone would want such a hideous vehicle and that BMW would actually make something that ugly.

Goddammit, I just composed a similar post without checking to see if anyone had beaten me to it. Serves me right - well done sir!

After winning the lawsuit, the plaintiff walked across the courtroom in a stately manner to snort disdainfully at the defendant. He then proceeded to promenade in a roundabout way to the exit, maintaining at all times the straight back and regal bearing of one who has been fully vindicated and who will brook no…

If they end up off-campus then the pampered little darlings will actually have to face REAL cops. Try running an off-campus house where you have loud drunken parties nightly and drug/rape dozens of women. Just see how long you can get away with that before the cops come in and shut you down.

Except that the entire point of a sub is that the enemy DOESN'T know where it is. That makes it a bit harder for a sub to 'show the flag' when it has to surface in order to confirm it's existence...

Actually, there was one change that came out of The War of 1812: it spurred the confederation of Canada. Knowing that a bunch of gun-toting nutjobs from the south were likely to invade any time for unclear reasons, we figured we'd better form an independent country post-haste and did so within the next 20 years. Note…

Hah! I was thinking of this thing the moment I opened this article! Saw one of these in the Canadian War Museum and figured it was the most ridiculous mating of gun and motorized vehicle ever made. I would love to drive it and even more love to see it fired. From a distance, that is....

I don't understand this - I'm a man and I cook every single damn meal in my household. I make my daughter's lunch for day care every day. I do all the meal planning and most of the shopping. What's wrong with the men who don't do this? What's wrong with the women who let them get away with it?

I really wanted the convertible. Man, I REALLY wanted the convertible!

I owned an '88 Chevy Sprint (Metro precursor) with 2 doors and a hatchback. The 5spd manual let me wring the utmost out of the 3cyl, 70hp engine and my best top speed was an estimated 158KPH on a nearly-unused stretch of highway in upstate New York (after a good 2 mile run-up). I say estimated as the speedometer only…

If things wend down as you describe it, then why is this suddenly a news story with all sorts of people complaining on TV that our culture isn't showing proper deference to our superior warrior caste? And FAs have been fired over things as trivial as their social media activities, so I am more than willing to bet…

Actually, even 1812 was a blatant attempt to grab British territory while their entire army was off in Europe fighting Napoleon. The complaints about impressed American seamen were just a trumped up cassus belli on the same lines as the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

I agree except for your claim that the FA was an asshat. This ranger literally put her in a lose-lose situation where she had to risk discipline for following company policy or incur the wrath of a military-worshiping public. doing this to a woman who's trying to do her job is the asshat move.

Leaving aside the issue of whether the ranger should have demanded special treatment (he shouldn't have), the issue we should consider is the position he's put the flight attendant into. She either follows company protocol and gets publicly vilified (as has happened) or she violates company protocol, has to turn down…

Oh boohoo - you get paid to implement our disastrous foreign policies and demand special treatment above and beyond the rest of us when you deign to walk among us? Buy a first-class ticket if you want the privileges that go along with first-class travel! I travel for business all the time and despite my need for a…

Obligatory:

As a fellow marketer, I agree but I think you missed the point. The goal here wasn't necessarily to promote the value prop of the brand, but to associate the brand with a social cause they've realized is a winner. Their interracial ad was controversial and I'm willing to bet they didn't anticipate that. The press they…

I'm quite happy with it. I traded in a Mini convertible and while I miss the handling and the stick, the versatility of a minivan is amazing. It's pretty much the smallest minivan on the market and it's perfect for my small family. It gets dinged a lot in reviews for not having a ton of electronic features found on…

Despise SUVs myself, but it's astonishing how much stuff one baby needs to drag around just for a weekend. Throw in a couple of grandparents and you've maxed out almost any conventional car or SUV.
