Sorry to report that the streets in the greater Seattle area are just as shitty as they are in any other major metro area in the US, just for different reasons. Neglect is the top reason, of course, but seismic and water table activity make most of the roads around here broken and rutted.  Almost every road is at some…

He hasn’t done any legal work in 30 years. He’s been an influence peddler for the majority of his career now.

Sonoma County, aka wine country. I wonder how many cops follow people home as they leave a winery tasting, just waiting for a slip-up to run ‘em in on a DUI.

Tesla is ushering in a new Malaise era.

TBF, this guy brought his birds with him to pick up his car, so he probably has a Ken doll crotch anyhow.

I assumed that she was wearing a very expensive designer dress, which is exactly what she should be wearing to meet the President of France.  I would also assume that the French people, if asked, would appreciate that she wore a very expensive designer dress to meet their President.

It really doesn’t help that the cast has aged out of their voices. Marge sounds like her mom now. As singers, all of them have overachieved, but all that straining has taken a toll. Just think of all the practice Yeardley put in for all those singing parts.

“The customer is always right” is most often quoted by someone looking for free stuff.

His arms are too short to put his tiny hands in the pockets of his slacks, so he perpetually doesn’t know what to do with his hands when standing.

I know where you’re coming from. The airlines have been poorly managed for several decades now, locked in a mutual race to the bottom. We found out after 9/11 that the airlines had almost zero margin for any interruption in full capacity operations. In 3 days they were almost all bankrupt.

Given the rate of “self-owns” we’ve seen from that bumbling group of crooks, I wouldn’t be surprised if the review finds evidence of Workhorse trying to bribe/threaten/extort someone for the contract.

The tragically underreported statistic of Taco Bell Drive Thru Collisions falls under the jurisdiction of the Border Patrol, so we’ll never know the truth. #AllChalupasMatter

The fact that you go out of your way to still pursue your habit shows just how committed to that next smoke you are. If you have to arrange your life around when you can smoke, you are pretty far gone.

40+ years ago, my father wired up his mother-in-law’s rusty 55 Bel Air with a loud buzzer for the turn signal, as she had hit that age where driving with it on became an issue. The buzz was similar in tone and volume to the back-up signal you hear on Amazon delivery vans.

Um, nicotine addicts don’t give a shit about anything except their next smoke.

I’m amazed that Eric Clapton lived past 1970. Like Ric Flair, medical science can offer no explanation why he is still alive, so I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that he doesn’t believe in it.

It strikes me as one of those unfunded mandates that can be capriciously enforced, based on something like the suspected ethnicity of someone’s name.  Great opportunity to shake people down for their used car.

That’s why you steal it, one piece at a time.
