American Auto Companies Ask For $25 billion Government Handout · 12 days ago
After years of exploiting a government loophole meant to not penalize automakers for making big, powerful and not-so-fuel-efficient trucks for folks who found these kinds of vehicles necessary in their work—which allowed them to produce millions of those fine, low-tech by regulation gas hogs called SUVs—the car companies now want the government to finance their re-tooling to start making reasonable automobiles once again, to the tune of 25 billion greenbacks.
Wow. That’s nice.
And just think, both presidential candidates support this handout.
Read it and weep all you free-marketers and loony libs: We’re about to lend $25 billion to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but not a penny more to Amtrak

Olympic Nudes and Nude Olympics · 28 days ago
I have to laugh at all the furor over Amanda Beard’s new poster for PETA (a fury over furry) that was supposed to have its launch at the Olympics. Chinese authorities canceled the planned unveiling, citing safety concerns.
Ain’t it always the way with repressive regimes? It’s always about somebody’s safety. See a finely tuned human body and suddenly your roof is in danger of falling on you.
Does anybody besides me see this as idiotic? Shouldn’t the unfailing warning sign of totalitarian bullshit be that seeing God’s creation, the human body, is said to be “dangerous”?
Warning, regime ahead.
Yeah, the Greek’s ran around nude in the Olympics in the good olden days. It wasn’t that way from the start. It got that way for the same reasons that modified sports cars were allowed to race in auto races. It started with cheating that couldn’t be easily stopped, then progressed to allowing everyone to cheat “equally.”
So a dude has an “equipment failure” during a foot race, knowing that drag will be reduced by his clever actions in losing his shorts. Knowing that this sort of thing would catch on after a few wins by the naked runners, officials simply banned clothing.
Case closed. They were not a totalitarian regime in those days trying to get people to work their fingers to the bone rather than getting a boner.
But I liked the responses to the news that sweet Amanda had appeared nekid on a poster:
I think it is incredible that someone is so interested in showing their body during the Olympics that they embarass our country by showing how rude and non morale our ladies are.
If the Olympics isn’t about showing finely tuned athletic bodies, then what is it about exactly?
That’s just nuts. What does a fine naked body have to do with morality anyway?
So you know that Arizona hosts a Nude Olympics?

Paris Hilton Smarter Than John McCain? · 31 days ago
Well, she’s got an energy policy that’s far better thought out, and she’s much better looking, and her video is way better than the crap coming from the gray haired dude.
Sex symbols in government worked for Italy. Why not the US of A?
I mean, how could it get any worse?

Even the Hilton Family Thinks McCain is Nuts · 35 days ago
Certainly you’ve heard of presidential candidate John McCain’s idiotic commercials. One of them features the fearsome Paris Hilton. One of them says that since Obama hasn’t visited Latin America lately he must hate all people south of the border and maybe some day will bomb them if he becomes president.
Paris’ mom Kathy actually gave money to this dork. Right now she’s wondering how come she committed this act of indecency.
Kathy Hilton to McCain: This is Where My Money Goes?!
Ok, calm down folks. Looks like we need some jack-off toys here.

The Hidden Menace of Pantyhose - Think of the Children! · 46 days ago
It turns out that someone has been leaving pantyhose—worn and un—near a school bus stop in Milford, Mass.
Residents take them home. Then new ones show up.
Resident Laurie Warich told the Milford Daily News she picked up 43 pairs in one day.
Prolific bugger.
But then, ms. Warich said something odd.
weird, it’s odd, it’s scary for the kids.
What doesn’t scare kids these days? Back in the old days, we kids saw, say a breast, and it wasn’t like it was earth shattering, you know? We saw garter belts even, holding up stockings. We didn’t turn into pudding.
Kids today….
And how did they know if the pantyhose were worn? I suspect they sniffed them. So was it a manly scent? Oh, now it’s scary, eh?
Perverts.
‘Pantyhose Bandit’ causes sheer annoyance in Mass.— Guido Veloce
