Ok. Politics aside: Al Franken just looks effing nuts.

Ha! perhaps my sentence wasn't as clear as I'd hoped. Politics aside, that man has bad hair. It wasn't a preamble to his political affiliation, just a [google wiki page for link and image] "Holy crap I forgot how bad his hair is..." moment.

Dyed in the wool, bad hair, staunch Republican.

When reading the above you have to read it as prrEYEus...

Is it only me or does anyone else really miss the Morning Shift?

I have an Infiniti, and the first time my mom sat in it she said to me, "OoooooOOOo, a clock... Sooooo fancy..." I've snickered about this for months because I feel the same way you do.

I've hated the corvette since the first time I sat in one, asked how much it cost, and realized the interior was a parts-bin raid organized by Fisher-Price... I hated it because I really, really wanted to love it. But I just couldn't, not when there were Japanese and German imports that seemed to know who they were…

I saw the picture and immediately read every comment visible in his voice. You, sir, should be commended for making my morning that much better.

Looks like it's a Tarmac in some variation/iteration. Closest I could find:

I was thinking more on the road, but I see your point.

The answer to your argument is: Miata.

A live axle is a "feature"...

It would also be fantastic if I could learn to spell: litigiousness.

The litigousness of our society requires companies/organizations to use contract law as a vehicle for protection. We pretty much have to sign an EULA type agreement and an NDA before accepting any type of employment. It's a means of tort protection here.

Washington state is not a Right-to-Work state. However, US law follows the At-Will Doctrine that states, with certain exemptions, that employers can terminate an employee for just cause, bad cause, or no cause, just as the employee can self terminate for the same reasons.

This goes right into the "people are stupid and we shouldn't give them ANY information whatsoever" line of thought. It really would be nice to be able to dig into the diagnostic system from my dash LCD to see which tire was low and by how much. The car captures this, so why isn't it available to me?

My wife and I cut the cable cord a few months ago. We still have our broadband and land-line (I know, right), but even with upgrading our broadband to the largest pipeline comcast offers we saved $80.00 a month. We only had one premium package too. Long and short is that we have Netflix, Prime, and Hulu, and season…

Yes. I'd love to have a 71-72 E Type Series III convertible and Coupe'. Also would love mint '05 wrx wagon and STI, before the blocky body style.

I agree reporting it is the best avenue. But I would also suggest getting something in writing from the institution stating THEY made the mistake. This is less of an issue for goods delivered by accident, and more of an issue for when one is overpaid or incorrectly paid.

There is absolutely nothing cool about a DC motorcycle cop, simply because there's nothing cool about DC cops in any way, shape, or form. Given the clusterfuck that is the District of Columbia, the City of Washington (two different entities), myriad alphabet agencies who all have jurisdiction, and two very different…
