The USPS isn't the government nor is it owned by the government. It's an independent agency and has been since 1971. They will get what they want, and for proof, all you have to do is look at their current fleet of LLVs. The USPS took bids for a replacement for the old Jeep Dispatcher in the mid 80's, just like they…

What's the difference between Madonna and Taylor Swift? Or Rihanna? Or Nicki Minaj? Or Miley Cyrus? Madonna does ridiculous things to get attention, like mooning the photogs at the Grammys, or sucking her thumb or dancing with bull-men. Taylor Swift does ridiculous things like carrying a cat everywhere, dancing like…

"she should act like it" and know her place too, I guess. Is this Jezebel or Kokatu?

That was actually pretty good. I also liked her performance at the Grammys, (even though I'm not supposed to).

Sliding front doors? Nope. Standing headroom? Nope. Aluminum or composite roof? Nope. Flat aluminum floor? Nope. Full width, rounded front and rear bumpers? Nope. Designed and built to run on/off road? Nope. Window regulators rated at 250,000 cycles? Nope. Roll up rear door? Nope. It does run on gas though. I know it…

Right on.

They call them stealerships for a reason. Used to work at a VW dealership. Customer brings in car stating no heat, tech finds problem, a tiny plastic lever is broken. He gets the part off and takes it to the parts dept. so they can get the number off of it. Number is good, but Parts Manager won't order it, will only…

Wow. Way to re-write history. The real story is that Eiji Toyoda was sent to the Ford Rouge complex by the US Army with orders to learn from Ford how to mass produce vehicles. The Army was still occupying Japan after WWII and they wanted Toyota to build trucks for them for use in Korea. Ford spent three months…

the design aint beautiful, but it's a huge improvement over the current model.

I first heard about this book from a woman at my last job. She was a 20-something, married, far-right Christian who could not stop talking about how amazing and sexy this book was. She would read it over and over again, so I figured I would give it a shot. Not wanting to spend money on it, I found the Master of the…

You mean they improve their stuff as the technology improves? How dare they!

Great article. Thank you.

They don't just want you to friendly, they want you to be subservient. Power tripping assholes.

Michelle Obama recently gave a speech about the military and how it is represented in movies and on TV, nothing inflammatory or even controversial. Here's some of the comments about her from "The Blaze," Glenn Becks website:

And that headline does fit the storyline, so it even makes some sense.

I don't think there is any difference between what Madonna is doing and what the other pop stars are doing. None. Why did Rihanna wear that awful dress? Because she is desperate for attention. If she truly "gave no fucks" then she would have worn jeans and a tank top, or better yet, not shown up at all. Mileys whole…

Oh. Sure. CCR, Simon and Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, Mavis Staples, Carl Perkins, The Band, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Supremes, Cream, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Tiny Tim, James Brown, Isaac Hayes, John Denver, Parliament Funkadelic, KC and the Sunshine Band, Lobo, AC/DC, Al Green, Queen, The O'Jays, Peter…

"The Who"

Pretty sure there's a Wikipedia entry about 'em. Might be hard to find any of their music though.

Cool! Then you can move on to "The Rolling Stones."
